He just failed towards the end. Most managers end up leaving clubs with perceived failure. Over his whole time managing us, he was a huge success. Let's not forget that. He took us down where we should never have gone and hes lauded for getting us back where we should have been He took us over at the bottom end of L2 collapsing rapidly. When he left we had been a mid table L1 club for a number of seasons. That's why he's lauded.

I didn’t say he wasn’t? The narrative that the club have got their act together since he left is wide of the mark when it comes to transfers, he had plenty of cash given to him once we were in league one and he squandered a lot of it. Got their act together in the sense that more of the players signed now are successes than compared to players signed in the DC era + being debt free and building new training ground, not got their act together in the sense of bigger budgets to spend. Debt free and training ground I will give you, quality of players signed rests at the managers door nobody else. He had more money to spend than we currently have as well

DC could not pick his nose Mcburney Scottish international Roberts Welsh international he had good players he never played They were fresh out of the gate pups, sent on loan for a flavour of being part of a football league matchday squad. Nobody would have put Roberts in ahead of our full backs at the time & McBurnie certainly wouldn’t have got in ahead of Taylor, Easter or Harrison. A lot easier to say it after 5 years has elapsed.

I reckon I’d have stuck Roberts instead of leads at the time...

We were not in the bottom three when he took over

We were not in the bottom three when he took over So you believe managing for 8 games & being relegated, outweighs the achievements of a play off final win, automatic promotion & our highest league finish this century, in three consecutive seasons?

We were not in the bottom three when he took over In hindsight I'd have taken relegation that season if I knew what was to come. Have we ever won promotion in the last minute of a season in our history before 15/16?

DC was brilliant until he thought he was pep tinkered every week, and bought dross which ultimately cost him, still a great manager print that b@@@@@@

He took us down where we should never have gone and hes lauded for getting us back where we should have been hang on a minute, where we should never have been? We’re we’re absolutely sh** that year! John ward put everything in place for that relegation. I don’t blame DC for that, more the players that ward recruited, that didn’t give a sh**!

To be fair that terrible squad was assembled over a couple of years. We have Buckle and McGhee to thank for that too! DC had a ‘hospital pass’

I bet there’s no other league club’s fans forum which has more threads on an ex manager who left nearly 2 years ago than us. He was great, he and we suffered, we survived and we’re ok at the moment. Move on. UTG!
