Definitely Hamer out, to me he is a major problem, IMO he should be providing a bi weekly communication to the supporters. Waq & Hani need to be honest with the supporters they are unfortunately a blockers, holding the club back. Apart from buying the club debt which they could call in at any time and take us right back to 1986, to me they have not done enough. Totally ignoring a paragraph of that then? He says he knows that PASSIONATE people are working HARD behind the scenes. To me it was a call for realism. The idea that we have to rush everything because DC might leave is total rubbish. We could rush everything and he still might leave. He’s merely saying- I might be the manager, I might leave sometime, but for this club to truely kick on from here battles that are out of his control are the most important. Hello, you must be new here. Welcome to Gaschat. Please try to keep such reasonable opinions to yourself in the future and you'll fit in just fine.

Hani hasn't put up wall, he's constructed an iron curtain, and Hamer is check point Charlie,

I wonder who these people are DC keeps referring to, Hamer and the staff below him at the club, or Hamer & Wael, or Hamer, Wael & Hani?

I used to have that quote on my desk next to "Nobody knows what I do, until I don't do it". Both still ring true today although the latter is really around the home now.

I think the "brick wall" he's talking about is the salary cap. Until we can improve revenue we can't change that, and can't attract a higher callibre of player. Pink Floyd, all in all it’s just another kick in the balls. A warning to the board me thinks, sort things out quickly and give us some direction or im off! I bloody hope not DC is the best thing that’s happened to the club for as long as I can remember. (And I’m an old bastard now!) What no colony, no new ground and DC gone. There would be a thermo nuclear meltdown on here. DC has made some great signings and some we all know are poor, his tactics can be spot on or sometimes strange but he wears his heart on his sleeve for the club. you will never get me critising him. Straight into the Gas Hall of Fame

Nothing wrong with DC the owners should man up before we lose him. Some cash for signings and more important cash for new, or newish ground would be good. Do not trust the Arabic camels, they will only give the hump.

Reading through an old interview that Wael did for the Guardian back in 2016.
Yet getting those closest to him interested in buying Rovers was no easy task. “I dragged my family into this,” says Qadi, who had been scouring Europe for a club with potential. “My father and my brothers – Hani, the eldest, is the guy in charge at the bank, a Harvard Business School honours’ graduate – they’re conservative and they look at business with numbers and charts. So to try to convince the family to come into football, something they see as just a game … they had no clue about the industry, about how it has grown.”
Sincerely hope they back DC this transfer window.

And there’s the problem, it’s not Waels fault clearly his hands are tied! Hami the hamster is as tight as gnats arse and that ain’t gona change anytime soon?

Well, hopefully that means that our financial model will be sustainable. I guess anything's possible. That’s the thing isn’t it. Just because Hani wants to make the numbers work it doesn’t mean he’s asset stripping the club he just wants to make the club sustainable, which to be fair is exactly what Wael said they’d do from the off. It could all go horribly wrong or it could all work out great. We’ll just have to wait and see and that’s not burying my head in the sand that’s eyes wide open and watching what happens with interest.

The problem is that at the end of the day everything Darrell is saying was known BEFORE he said he hoped to make 3-4 permanent signings. Players haven't just started to ask for more money or started to wait for the best they can get and the Financial cap has been there all along. It is at the end of the day the Manager coming up with excuses for his failure SO FAR to bring in any more than one non league player. It is no less an excuse than our owners redeveloping the Mem one stand at a time. In truth all we ever get thrown at us is excuse after excuse and in truth what else can we do other than accept these excuses? We will know we have reached the limit when we get in the Mem next home game with no new players and 9,500 silver and blue quartered flags waiting for us on the terraces and in the stands!

Whatever the case, you can be sure that Rovers haven't hit a wall that's made up of bricks of banknotes.
It would appear there are none of those.
In the meantime we have to endure the self-satisfied crowing from south of the river.
I don't know how much longer I can put up with listening to the Junior Chirruping Cockney Fool squeaking about how they're a Premiership club in waiting, how they are going to keep their best players whilst strengthening through the next couple of Windows.
Their wage bill must be huge, God knows how they get around FFp and Salary cap regs, the RCLG must be paying some money into Bristol Sport somewhere that is paying for all this. B@stards!
UTG.

So players won’t join the mighty Bristol Rovers and it’s all the managers fault!? Since the conference days you had had to eat humble pie and it’s choking you. You even wanted rid of Darrel then. You don’t like the bloke and don’t respect him for what he has done for this ramshackle of a football club, if you did the cheap shots which you are expert at would stop. Money, and a dump of a ground are just two more valid reasons for players not joining than Darrels lack of contacts. Open your eyes to the bigger picture and give Clarke a break.

If only the owner, whos that, gave the manager a helping hand things would be different. Why no cash or help for manager, they have had us all over talking a load of ollocks. UTG proper supporters.

cc52, If you are going to Quote me then at least get the facts right. I have never wanted Darrell gone however I am also far from an "In DC we trust" which you obviously are. I respect him for the job that he has done but that does not mean that I have to accept everything he says and does like some. It wasn't me who said I would bring 3-4 players in before the Blackpool game and its wasn't Hani or Hamer or even Wael. All the excuses that come out now were present when he said what he would do. He keeps on about us performing above ourselves but there are plenty of teams in worst situations than us. How many Managers were given £300,000 to sign a player in the summer? DC has done a brilliant job but may struggle to get us beyond where he has taken us. If you believe that he has good contacts then that's fair enough, that's your prerogative.
