Interesting comments made about our keepers. Didn't rule out getting another in the summer.

A good listen. DC looking to sign "2 left backs, a midfielder, 2 wide players, 2 strikers, a right back and one or two other areas he's looking at." I reckon Pirate he is after another keeper, said he might get one in, can see Smith and Gaffers leaving, what do you think?

On the one hand DC suggested we'd never cope in the Championship but on the other seems to be aiming to get a top 6 squad for next season, what happens if we do a Shrewsbury next season and then manage to get into the playoff final, lose at Wembley on purpose as we don't have the set up for the Championship?
Anybody notice the long pause after GT asked DC about the ALQ's??

I like DC a lot....
I get the impression that his personal project (for the short term) is to be more successful than teams with bigger budgets and better infrastructure.... He seems to be doing pretty well with this approach which in the long term shows loyalty, patience, and belief in his ability....
He won't do his credentials any harm by sticking around....

I think DC is very good for Rovers but he hasn't set L1 alight ! 10th last season and 13th this. I hope he can sort out our away form, which has even declined from last season otherwise we have no chance of being top 6 - personally think he has to be more ruthless with his selections at the back, i.e playing Lockyer and Smith even when they were in dodgy form for long periods.

I reckon Pirate he is after another keeper, said he might get one in, can see Smith and Gaffers leaving, what do you think? He seemed to suggest there is a possibility of another keeper coming in, but whether that happens or not, we'll have to wait and see. I think if we get an offer for Gaffney he'll be gone.

Interesting to hear DC feels we need to add so many to the squad, that would suggest he sees a few more leaving.
From the sounds of it we’ll be seeing at least 1 contracted player moved on - reading between the lines - Gaffney.

DC saying all the right things really. All he can do is try and achieve on the pitch, in next 5 years he would like the Training ground complete (within next 12 months), a new stadium and us in the championship.
Has a long list of positions and number of players he wants, something like 7 players. We say this every season, well I do, be surprised if brought in 4.
The next 12 months comment regards the Training ground to me suggested DC knows that will be the case. I am expecting news soon. The stadium, was little ambigious as the whole saga has been, a new stadium would be lovely.
He came across well, sounds committed and ambitious, hopefully he can build on this season.

Anybody notice the long pause after GT asked DC about the ALQ's?? Having talked to DC a year back I think the pause is probably because he wants to believe in Wael but knows it’s Hani that ultimately is in control and his relationship with Hani is more distant than his relationship with Wael.

Would you like to elaborate?? As you do seem to be in a minority - and a very small one at that

Have to say he came across very well, love the bloke and we’re lucky to have him. Up the DC!
