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? I thought DC’s honesty was quite refreshing actually. He would say things as they saw them and wouldn’t be afraid to go in on his players if they were playing at a level he deemed unacceptable. Sometimes I feel Coughlan goes too far to defend his players and the owners like claiming there were so many scouts taking a look at Tom Nichols that he didn’t want to play him and that he has no issues with the training ground or stadium. If there is one thing the owners need now it is a kick up the backside and I genuinely miss how DC was always a thorn in the side of the owners if progress wasn’t being made.

Is it any wonder that DC reacted in the way he did, having been persuaded to sign a new contract in the belief that his employers were telling the truth when they promised him the tools to complete the task of re-building the structure of the Club and facilities - new stadium, new training ground, bigger playing budget etc. and when unfortunately the realisation that the owners do not have the money or ambition to carry that through is it any wonder he reacted in a negative way? 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. Hello Roy. Nice of you to pop up on this thread. 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. I didn't realise you had any questions, I thought you had all the answers! (on every subject)

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. The amount of time you spend on this forum, I thought you had retired? By the way, I should beware of the hands pulling your strings if I were you, they could be leading you down the wrong road.

I’ve not racked years to retire yet old boy.. My word you sound like Jeremy Corbyn.

Just because you have in recent times become a sycophantic follower of the owners does not mean everyone else feels the same way. Many people feel equally let down and frustrated as dc was when it become obvious the owners could not move the club onto better things. The fall out from these events is clearly heard and seen at the mem with smaller and quieter crowds. Its not all bad as coughlan has done well at least results wise since he became manager but most of the previous optimism has vanished.

I know very well the definition of Hearsay. If you're confident of your accusation, please, for the benefit of everyone interested in the thread, write it on a post and then explain how Roadie's post is the epitome of Hearsay, and your reasons for claiming this. I eagerly await your response. Roady's post implied that easter,mildenhall,"macca" and mansell all had some dark axe to grind with dc,gossiping about mansell being forced into a portacabin or something equally absurd. All that is quite clearly hearsay. Sigh. Again, please give the definition of Hearsay then show how Roadies post fits that definition.. to quote DC "It ain't rocket science. Yeah, no, listen"

Yeah, no, listen" "Information received from other people which cannot be substantiated,rumour." So until mildenhall,easter,mansell and macca substantiate roady's post it will clearly remain as pure hearsay. "it aint rocket science " fact = rovers in league one opinion = rovers will finish top of league one. hearsay = lee mansell and some other rovers players have told me some terrible things about dc.

fact ~ boring thread opinion ~ boring thread hearsay ~ boring thread Your right. The problem i have is when posters attack the previous manager in what i consider to be an unfair way i cannot help but respond. In retrospect the best thing to do is to not respond of course.

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 Is it any wonder that DC reacted in the way he did, having been persuaded to sign a new contract in the belief that his employers were telling the truth when they promised him the tools to complete the task of re-building the structure of the Club and facilities - new stadium, new training ground, bigger playing budget etc. and when unfortunately the realisation that the owners do not have the money or ambition to carry that through is it any wonder he reacted in a negative way? 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. Part and parcel of re-building the infra-structure was the expansion of back-room staff. As far as I am aware that was delivered. Playing budget; after DC left he admitted it was better than he had let on.
I agree with the stadium and training ground arguments; but other promises were kept.
Anyway it's all done and dusted now - UTG

I wonder if DC regrets now what he said which led to him amicably agreeing to leave. Would he believe we would be where we are now or higher with a better squad I wonder ?

Took a break Jules, only commentating on football now and what I get told from my career working in football. Keeping off the politics of fruit market and all that, hands up, I don’t know much on this but I have heard there are off the record feelers out there with Bristol City up for sale. I do know Boro have watched Jonson a lot this season, heard that again at Brentford yesterday as well.
Hope you are well mate, wondered how your health was, haven’t seen you at the Mem this season.
