Surprised you haven’t told us that I do not indulge in forum spats, so, sad though it is to be doing this at prime football time on a Saturday, please allow me to point out that you and your co-anti-garnerite Dave Chewbacca have concocted a "truth" that I down-value DC's achievements at Rovers. I certainly don't. You'll be able to point out where you get your knowledge from, I am sure; i.e. which of my posts gave you that erroneous opinion. Thank you.

I'd have him back, in fact I'd even drive up to Walsall and bring him back myself.

Would you have him back😜👍 Nope. I will forever remember him as a great manager to get us up to League 1 but unfortunately a combination of blind loyalty, bad transfer business, reliance on players who just didn't/weren't able to perform how he wanted and a refusal to use some of the younger talent we either had here already or came in on loan ultimately lost him his job (just one mans opinion ofcourse). It also rarely ever goes well the 2nd time and I'm not sure how well he would do with this seemingly new vision of coaching up young players rather than signing mainly seasoned pros.

Totally agree with you on that it rarely works out good second time around but I do like the bloke and would have no problem buying him a tray of beers if I see him, after this lockdown of course Also wish him success with every club he manages As long as he never end up with the Ted's 🤢

It's really time we moved on from DC. I'm sure he's moved on from us. I wouldn't want him back (second time round rarely works) and I'd be astonished if he expressed.any great desire to come back.
In the interests of impartiality my views are exactly the same about GC.

I’d have him back without a doubt. I think he certainly needed to go when he did as we were going in the wrong direction. But I think some time away from the game and the club would’ve done him good. He’d got stubborn in his ways even when they were failing him, but with a fresh start I think he could succeed again.
He played entertaining football and the crowds were certainly better when he was in charge. His passion for the club was 2nd to none. I’ll never forget reading about the day he left, and through tears he made Tom Lockyer promise him that he wouldn’t let the club go down. What a bloke! Would love to see him back.

Would you have him back😜👍 Probably not, I think we’re capable of getting relegated back to fourth division on a fraction of the budget DC was going to achieve it on.

My enduring memory of DC is the statement he made about John Ward, as mentioned by poorblue. Thought then it was ill-considered and I still do. "What happens in the changing room, stays in the changing room." And the football just before he left was awful.
