Not really. DC had 2 decent seasons with us in L1 before losing it at the end. Whilst he didn’t set the world alight at Walsall, he didn’t get sacked after 12 games like PT did. DC was a victim of his own success and didn’t know L1 well enough. PT was guided by LL (IMO) where as soon as he left, he was completely found out as a manager. As for Vale, very early days yet. Pretty sure PT lasted two seasons and a then further 12 games as our manager, like DC the issues came when he tried to rebuild the promoted squad, their demise is uncannily similar.

He lasted half a season when Lennie Lawrence left, the 12 games I was referring to was Cardiff

It seems that managers work well with some coaches and when they leave they become crap. I seem to remember John Ward showing up with a coach from up North (Cant remember his name) and it went pear shaped when the coach left. Trollope was succesful until they got rid of Lennie. Daryl lost Stewey at Wallsall and it went tits up. But the best partnership? Russell Osman and Kevin Broadhurst, who saved us,along with Bo of course. At the moment we have had 9 managers since 2018 (3 years ) counting caretakers.

Port Vale fan in peace. Darrell has come in and got three points from his first six games with us. Walsall fans have been pretty negative about him. I just thought I'd come over here and find out the opinion over here. Have we made a good choice? Here is the thread discussing him on our fan forum. A Walsall fan posted there and any of you would be more than welcome if you had the time: www.onevalefan.co.uk/forum/topic/46536-darrell-clarke/Thanks!

Don’t want to register on another forum to comment so will simply say, ledge for us, look at the stats. I hope he is a success in Burslem but needs time. Good luck.

Don’t worry, if he takes you down at least he’ll give you a great chance of coming straight back up again 👍.

A Walsall fan posted there and any of you would be more than welcome if you had the time: www.onevalefan.co.uk/forum/topic/46536-darrell-clarke/Thanks! DC is loved by most Gasheads but he didn’t get off to a great start. He took over with 8 games to go and us seemingly in a safe position from going down to the Conference. However he probably changed too much too quick for some of the water takers we had in the team at the time and we went down on the last day when all the results that needed to go against us did and we lost by a single goal at home to a half arsed Mansfield team that even had to play in our kit! The start of the next season in non league started badly too and he could easily have been sacked after a 2-0 defeat at Braintree in our 7th game gave us a record of 8 points from 7 and looking as if we had absolutely no hope of having a run at a quick return to the league. But then....BANG we clicked into form, went on an amazing run and the mood changed completely. We so nearly won the Conference from a seemingly hopeless position but went up through the playoffs. The next season was more of the same, the place was rocking, crowds were at their highest for many years and the season ended with what was the best moment of many of our fans Rovers supporting lives by winning automatic promotion in the last minute of the last match of the season. The momentum carried on into L1 for the first season but then began to peter out as the mood once again started to fall, not helped by the dream of the promised new stadium disappearing fast.DC got very involved with the ups and downs of what was going on off the pitch at this time and he lost his way and left us in our third season in L1 struggling once again to stay up. Darrell Clarke has given me my best days supporting the Gas, and I’ve supported them for almost 50 years! If you were offered now Vale go down followed by two promotions on the bounce would you take it? That’s what we got and it was fantastic!

DC had his A license BEFORE he won promotion from the Conference.

Wrex, DC is a very good manager, at the end of his tenure here thought he was pep and started tinkering too much, he wears his heart on his sleeve and will work very hard for you. He will need time but have faith he will turn you into a very good side.

DC had his A license BEFORE he won promotion from the Conference. Pretty certain he obtained his UFFA(?) licence some time after we were promoted from the Conference. Let's be honest since he lost his way after we sold Taylor, Bodin and Harrison he's done little at Rovers or Walsall and so far his repeating that at PV. Why anybody would sign a player like Payne for £150K is really beyond belief.

We had some of our best times as fans under him. Stick with him, he will come good and he knows L2 well. You will he frustrated by his team sheets but you won’t notice the fact you don’t get injuries like other clubs do. See you hopefully in league one in a couple of years.

Got rid of all the successful regulars for a new team that was supposed to have quality. History repeating itself? Btw - can we know agree that Nicholson plays best upfront? 😉

I guess you could have posted something exactly the same to a Walsall fan this time last season, the truth is he seems to have completely lost his way, it's amazing PV not only poached him but agreed to pay Walsall a fee, PV's main hope is that Southend don't start winning games or they could be in real trouble.
