Putting anything and everything down and pointing his finger at everything after every defeat, I don’t care if he was let down by the board if you don’t like it then resign and crack on elsewhere. I remember numerous people I know who don’t support us saying stuff like “things are bad down the gas aren’t they? Managers slagging the owner off again” It painted the whole place in a bad light, even if he was right he was a paid employee who is meant to lead by example. He loves a “I’m here for me fans” shout well my question is why would you do this if really care as much as you claim? With you now,your on about his post match interviews when he was at rovers. I was pleased when he first opened up about his disenchantment with the owners but i agree that he over egged the whole thing. Finally Bluey you post something sensible 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

And where did being a thorn in the side get him and us? Well we had far more communication and developments occurring behind the scenes for a start. Is it any coincidence that now we have a more passive manager in GC, we haven’t had an official club update in months and months. Did we? I seem to recall us moaning as much then as we do now, I can see why a fan would like him going against the grain but in the end what happens is it gets too much and creeps onto the terrace and most importantly starts to affect the playing field, the fact he said in his first Walsall Q and A he doesn’t want to be involved in off the field politics tells me that he himself knows he got it wrong with the majority of what he was saying.

I think DC would push the limit with what was acceptable to say to an employer with some of his interviews, that much is true. However, Coughlan’s interview where he came out and said he didn’t share the concerns of DC and that the facilities he had to work with were fine did really irritate me because it is plain to see to all involved that they aren’t. There’s a possibility that we won’t even be able to train at Cribbs beyond next year and the mem has some of the worst spectator facilities in the entire football league. I’m not expecting a manager to talk about off the field matters all the time, it’s not their job to do that but I would like to hear from Coughlan acknowledgement that the infrastructure at the club is not suffice and that they could do with more than just a lick of paint.

You talk as though everything is now perfect on the terraces, when fans are probably more disgruntled now with the present owners than they have been for years.

The black cloud you are alluding to —- is the promises that were made to DC - and not fulfilled for reasons only known to the al quadi s The new stadium , new training ground , etc. They are the ones . Imo that have created the black cloud , they have killed all hope , not only in DC but in most of the fan base as well . Utg I disagree, he played down his budget massively and funds available to him and that also played a part. Telling people (me) that he didn’t have a player on more than 2k a week is an outright lie and he only did it for one reason imo. We still hear fans talk about our “rubbish budget” now when in reality it’s about half way.

Well, I’m afraid kingswood I can’t quote any private conversation I’ve had with DC unlike yourself - the only contact I have had with him was to console a crying DC when leaving the mem after we were relegated to the conference , he was certainly broken that day , I loved the way he wore his heart on his sleeve , his passion and commitment . And I hate the way certain people on this forum are gunning for him STILL in a very unpleasant way . Utg

Utg I don’t hate him and it wasn’t a private conversation it was said in front of 5 of us at the radio Bristol event at Ashton gate (1 of those people is a Mod on here) he’s a decent bloke I’m sure and I loved him from 2014-2017 but for me I went off him towards the end, as I’ve said previously I hope he turns it around at Walsall and is a success

You obviously have some sort of grudge against dc but your gossiping "news of the world" type revelations really are beyond the pale. Not only that but they are of no interest to me at all. All i know is the dc era was for the most part a fantastic time with some fine players and brilliant football. Nobody can dispute things went wrong towards the end of his time at the club but why on earth would any rovers fan want to downplay his achievements and blacken his name with gutter tripe petty stories? I post facts based with evidence and backed up by others on here, the OFF THE RECORD RECORDING and I never tapped his phone like the News of the Screws. I have no vendetta, I have compassion for people treated badly, I don’t like bullies in the workplace and I respect others in other professions, just remember Ali Durden and others have to drive 4 or 5 hours home on a Saturday night from places Rochdale to a family after being spoken to like sh** whilst just doing their jobs. They might travel long hours but if they ask stupid questions they get all they deserve, same goes for my staff.

And it is exactly why the fans are also reacting in a negative way which is quite natural when promises are seen to not being fulfilled.

Perhaps you could pop over to the FM thread. There’s a few questions that need answering and a update required on the FM thread. Cheers.

And it is exactly why the fans are also reacting in a negative way which is quite natural when promises are seen to not being fulfilled. Back to your points raised though. We have had so many false dawns as rovers fans, from the Halcyon days of Dunford ownership right through to the present, until there are diggers sifting mud for groundwork’s then it’s pointless putting all your faith in it. But it doesn’t excuse the lack of professional courtesy, especially to the media. Regardless of the broken promises, it’s rank disrespectful to the club and the badge, which quite frankly, is bigger than DC. If I had a pound for every promise a manager of employment didn’t fulfill I would be retired. You either suck it up and do your job the best you can with the tools you have or leave for a place which have got them. And quite honestly, DCs attitude in the last year has rubbed off on the fan base and together with the snakes that are in the boardroom as well trying to stab various people in the back and leaking all sorts of negative vibes to the fan base we are really on a hiding to nothing at the moment, which is ironic given we are sat inside the top 10 in the league and as high as 4th 2 games ago.
