DC doesn’t seem the sort of person who would belittle someone doing any job. However, he does seem the sort of person that would tell footballers who let their supporters down that if they don’t like criticism go and do a normal job instead of a well paid one that most of us would give our right arms for.

DC = LEGEND , gave me and my kids the best memories we have ever had as gasheads , if that makes me a ‘Banned word’ then so be it. Kind regards , Alex. Aka okebournegas. It's the making of memories that count, as the good times pass so quickly and come around so rarely, for us anyway. Absolutely right. I got so much pleasure yesterday out of recounting Gas stories to my 6 year old. Daggers, Grimsby, countless tales from the Twerton days and he soaking up every word. He even asked to see some of the videos today. Why would I feel anything but fondness for Clarke, Trolls, Gerry etc. I don’t even feel vitriol for McGhee or Buckle. Looking back on those days there were still the odd good moment and plenty of dark humour to be had amongst the memories. I just don’t get how some people seem to take DC’s current struggles with a weird kind of demented, zealous glee. Granted, there are probably more than a couple of WUMs amongst them, but I know some of our fans genuinely feel that way.

Tbh I couldn't work for someone who talked to me like that. All he's really saying is 'do better' but imo a Manager is there to tell you how. It doesn't sound like he knows how so he just shouts.

DC is running true to form here I'm afraid. It won't be long before he starts to cancel the players days off and forces them in for extra training. I reckon about 4 weeks after that he will either have been fired or will have left by mutual agreement.

Walsall manager Darrell Clarke has told his under-performing players that if they cannot handle criticism, they should not be professional footballers. After a poor start following his appointment in May, four straight wins for Clarke looked to have things round. But four subsequent defeats have now plunged Walsall back to 19th in the League Two table. "My players are fully behind what we're trying to do here. But they've got to be better," Clarke told BBC WM. "Everybody at the football club's got to be a lot better. If they can't handle that, they'll be on their way." The 41-year-old continued: "I'm not going to cuddle them. They know that. I'm not a cuddling manager. "If they want me to put an arm round them and say everything's going to be OK, I think we need to get another manager in.

Won t be there for the xmas party think their Fan's are getting restless, looking at their forum, shame will always love DC.

I love DC and the mans a gas legend. No ifs no buts.
However I will say that it became the beginning of the end when he started mixing those sorts of press comments with the others. One week it was the honest pros the next everyone's gotta be better.
I really hope he turns it around and believe he can. He does need to dial his own emotion down a little.

Some people are just desperate to pick fault aren't they? Quite clearly a throw away comment simply underlining his desire for his players to buck up or be shipped out. If you are honestly taking offence on behalf of shelf stackers all across the land then fair enough I guess! More likely of course that ytou are simply desperate for any little reason to push your own agenda against the man. A bit sad really.

I’ve been a Gashead for 36 years and have lots of memories and that includes some brilliant ones with DC. But a club established in 1883 deserves some honour and respect like Holloway and Trollope gave us when they left and no man is ever bigger than the club. If you think it’s acceptable in his first press conference with Walsall to mention this great club and ridicule our training ground and ground then that’s your choice, he never needed to do this. Jesus Christ! You have a problem mate! Very clearly a club legend, very clearly one of our greatest ever managers and very clearly somehow managed to get under your skin very bizarrely! Like him, love him or loathe him.. All are fine, I just don't know why we still have to talk about him?!

Anyone want to start a thread on Bert Tann, Malcolm Allison, Gerry Francis, etc etc. They, like DC, are also no longer at the club.

Mind you if we started talking about Bert Tann there might not be too many of us participating, 20 at the most I would think. Good manager but different times, very different times. With the Rovers policy of “no buy-no sell” in the 50s and early 60s most on here would die of a heart attack after a month! 😉 UTG! ps. But we could still have filled 200 pages about a new ground even then! And here we are 50 years later.....

All i know is in twenty years we will still be talking about Wembley, Browners goal, the street party on Gloucester road. That's what DC and his team gave us, great times. It was time to move on and he has, I will not dwell on his final months but will always remember the above.

I was thinking of the “shoot on sight” policy. As soon as we were in shooting distance we should let fly and we would end up with a goal, or a corner, or some kind of ricochet. The idea was that the more shots we made the more goalswe should score! Sounds great in theory but it didn’t always work out !

I had 2 quite long conversations with dc at development games. I asked him at half time at a game at yate town if he could help me out with the names of the players in the development team. He meticulously went through all the players names as well as giving information on them all which frankly impressed me. Regarding roady maybe dc was tired and on a certain occasion didnt give him the time of day or realise what a big wheel he was? These things can happen sometimes. The little gang on here must be really excited about the prospect of him getting sacked at walsall,maybe they will have a party to celebrate?
