Go to 1 minute and he starts on about the training ground and “tidy stadium” whilst having a dig at ours Well pal, you’ve got it all now and you are now, all the gear no idea😂 Jonny Burn, Mensah, Nichols, Bennett, Payne, good £750k plus there and 18 new signings at Walsall including the goal shy Gaffeny. I wouldn’t trust him to boil a kettle let alone £1 in the transfer market of my money. And every interview, “me fans” they are not your fans, “dust ourselves down” you might as well start a cleaning business, “it’s not rocket science” well if it isn’t why have you lost 5 games on the bounce? Thought he was Mourinho in the end with us with me media, in fact he was Dave Penney. Did he also drink Corona ? What about the promotions, the attacking play ? The goals? He was no Dave Penney.

Im sorry while the ending part with us maybe true,the guy saved us from going out of business,if not at the very least the next Stockport or Wrexham.So not sure why anyone would knockour greastest,ever manager just for the sake of it. He had 12 games to keep us up and went down with a decent squad. I won’t ever forget what he did for us but his behaviour in his last 6 months wasn’t acceptable which were his media interviews. He is party as well in the main to our £3.4 million loss, we had £8k sat on the bench in Nichols and Bennett. Watch that video I uploaded, he’s still knocking our facilities and if he can do this I can knock him. Our facilities are shocking, look at them and take the rose tinted glasses off, we can’t go anywhere with how we are, we are above our station now, shame fans can’t see it.

I liked dc when he was our manager,we had 2 promotions and played the sort of attacking football i really enjoy. I find the group of posters lining up to slag him off and taking pleasure out of his struggle at walsall to be a rather sad bunch. To use one the super important "up his own backside" posters favourite quote they are "Banned word's" in my eyes. With Corona

DC did a great job in getting us back to a respectable position in the third tier but we should recognise that he'd reached his level and gone past his sell by date as all managers do at some stage.
It all depends on when you started following Rovers, but his achievements are nowhere near those of managers Bert Tann, Don Megson and Gerry Francis who took us to the second tier without having to scrape through on penalties or with a last minute goal to secure promotion in the final game.

Seems like I was correct about him. Hate to see it happen but he’s been lost for a good two years now lost his head after the Window where bodin left and never recovered. Signing the likes of gaffney Clarke and sincs wasn’t going to end well. Not like he signed one of the key men from that season. He needs a long break in my eyes and come back with fresh ideas seems like it’s the same as when it was bad with us over at Walsall ‘dust ourselves down’ ‘honest bunch of lads ‘ gets tiresome quickly.

Exactly, in one breath Roadman tells us to forget that loser DC and in the other breath he’s worrying his net curtains so he can get a better look at that dirty stop out who lives at number 69 drinking a bottle of corona with his fancy piece. Poacher turned game keeper.

Its all relative though because the promotion i wanted more than any of the others in my time was achieved by dc and then he did it again something none of the others managed. PS only bert tann is before me. But hey haters always hate so keep it up by all means.

Why lie through your teeth though? Your clearly loving the fact he is struggling at walsall. Thing is it does not change anything about his fantastic success at rovers. Small minded people like you cannot change actual history that actually happened no matter how many times you spout of your rubbish.

Small minded people like you cannot change actual history that actually happened no matter how many times you spout of your rubbish. what isn’t rubbish is the fact that Clarke signed Johnny burn for a fee (who isn’t even good enough at national league north level), Tom Nichols over Matt godden Stephan Payne over Jch in the summer and gave kyle Bennett a 4 thousand pound a week contract (which we are still stuck with), wasted the talents of Connor Roberts and oli mcburnie whilst on loan both of whom are seasoned internationals now and released Ryan broom who is now linked with moves back to league one for a sizeable fee .Rose tinted or not he made some serious serious errors in the transfer market and racked up our wage bill to a unsustainable level as shown by our accounts.

Did I see someone say we were relegated to the conference with a ‘decent squad’?!
That group of individuals were the most inept, incompetent, unfit & worst excuse for footballers I have ever seen in my life. I can’t believe anyone who believes the above statement, even saw us play in that 2013/14 season.

The same facilities that GC has taken us to the second best form side in the league behind Oxford United in the time he has been manager. Yes they are poor but all of a sudden we are harder to beat at home and players like JCH, Davies, Ogogo and Little are swapping first class training ground and shinny new stands to play for us? ?? I will be a guest of Peterborough United this season away, I will let you know if anyone has a Corona after the game, no player did at Coventry (Brum City) earlier in the season. When I say Penney, I am comparing him to another manager who got momentum and a 2 promotions from the Conference who has failed everywhere else now, Walsall forum is great reading. Maybe it’s time the off the record conversation with the media is leaked, that’s what happens when you are rude to people all the time in the end, the media get you. Yeah I have a copy, shocking about what he said about one of his very own players. And my belief is this is why the players stopped playing for him as well. He treated Macca, Mildy and Easter appalling, he treated Easter so bad as an agent he came back and got his revenge signing Taylor, Bodin and Ellis and Bodin was his real act of revenge. How do I know all this, I’m just an average Banned word hiding behind a user name who gets to work in football. Best Regards Paul

I don’t care what Roady or anyone else says, DC is a Gas legend for me, hope he finds his mojo again in the not too distant future.

I just listened to that DC interview. Roady is quite right, he did have a dig at us over the training facilities and the stadium. What also became apparent is he was approached and agreed to become the manager some time before the end of the season. He commented that he had watched a lot of Walsall games "To be honest with you" one of his interminable phrases, which indicates hey sacked Keates with Clarke ready to take over at the season end. The board had obviously accepted relegation and we're looking to re-build.
He also said there were a number of players who were out of contract which he described as a good thing; implying he would be able to sign the players he wanted. What he did do was sign 2 journeymen from us, the failure that was Rory Gaffney right as the window closed, and a number of others who I've never heard of and who have hardly set the world on fire. Ive read the Walsall forum and they're very unhappy with Clarke. They can't understand his tactics, constant team changes, and are starting to moan at his press conferences. Where have I heard all that before I wonder?
I don't have the knowledge that Roady does regarding what Clarkes like in the dressing room and how he treats his players, but I think there must be something in that, and whilst I will always be grateful for a couple of brilliant seasons, there's no doubt we had the best of DC. He's been well and truly found out and will never progress beyond a Conference/L2 manager.
