Fantastic interview, and I agree with others saying that's the best interview I've seen from him. The day DC leaves the Gas will be 1000 times more devastating than MT leaving. Long may he be in charge of our club, what a legend.

5:28. David Brent gaze. Wots he trying to say? Not good enough? Bad attitude? Trying to stop us getting promoted? Something else? Ah, that's f**kin' brilliant. That's so nailed on David Brent.

What a manager we have! He's just replaced Gerry Francis as my all-time favourite manager (who was slightly ahead of David Williams!). The finest speech since Gerry had to calm the fans down at Wigan Athletic (late 80's?) when the game was called off 10 minutes before kick-off!!! We were nearly in the dressing rooms before Gerry intervened and stopped a riot! Let's hope that injury Taylor has remains a well kept secret! IDCWT - onwards and upwards!

There's a Darrell Clarke interview up now on YouTube. City the only championship club in for him.
Can anyone paraphrase the interview? At work and unable to watch Did he seem angry or let down etc “I’ll have to change my session plan won’t I! Bloody hell, Jesus… Has he gone has he? Has ‘e?!”, “All joking aside…” Talks about the situation in the summer. Didn’t think we’d be able to hold on to Matty. 80% of League One clubs made MT an offer. ZERO Championship clubs did. MT’s mindset was to play at the highest level. There had to be a release clause in any contract we signed Matty on, otherwise no dice. Not ideal but DC decided it was worth it because he believed MT would score goals in L1, which he did… So instead of losing him for nothing in the summer we “got a few good quid for him”. Not ideal losing him to City. “They’re fighting a relegation spot and you can see why managers sign loads of players trying to get themselves out of mess.” RE: £10 million, he thought we were going to lose Taylor in January and so was looking to ramp his price up. *MOST TELLING PART OF THE INTERVIEW FOR ME* VERBATIM: “However, there was only one Championship team in for Matty Taylor, ‘cause I know that ‘cause I speak to loads of Championship managers, and that’s where he’s ended up, so, we thank him for his efforts, we move on, I hope that’s [cleared things up].” As predicted Luke James brought in as a like for like replacement. LJ now gets a chance to show why DC brought him in. We’ve also got other options, hence no panic signing on Tuesday. Would have liked to bring someone, was in for two but didn’t want to pay over the odds, as is often the case in Jan. “Contrary to what many people will think, I lost not one ounce of sleep”. Talks about loyalty in football. MT’s wages probably tripled by City. Footballers see it as a job – not all of them – MT secured his future for life. It is what it is, we move on, supporters are fantastic, will be hurting, hopes he’s earned our trust, hopes we get behind the team for the last 17 games. Enjoy them. See if we can keep surprising people and see how far the squad can go. Asked again about MT going to C*ty (where do they get this interviewer, he’s absolute shocking). *SECOND MOST TELLING PART* VERBATIM: “I know the reason why there was only one Championship club in for him, but them reasons I’ll keep to myself.” Talks about never being a top 6 L1 side in terms of wages until we get the infrastructure right, revenue streams etc. That’s key. Talks about producing 20-man goalscorers because of the attacking set up. We’re a team that creates chances. We’ve never, ever been a one man team. DC wakes up every day in a positive mindset. Glass half full. Believes in staff and players. LJ will get himself in goalscoring opportunites, he will get chances, we have to see, like we did with MT, if he’d score. Jamma not an option, DC won’t be going back on that one. Has to build a club and somehow get us out of this league, but that is easier said than done because we can’t match other clubs in terms of finance. Would never cut his nose to spite his face, so will never say never, but at the moment JE is not in the team plans. New signing (defender) to be announced today. Experienced LB to provide competition for LB. FOCUS ON ROCHDALE NOW. It’s a fantastic interview (despite some inane questions) so watch it ASAP.

After listening to DC it's pretty obvious that Ratface Midget's agent had tipped off C*ty about his release clause
Hope he goes to prison and get arseraped in the showers everyday for the next 10 years

I loved the 'Oh yes, I've got those shady gits figured' glance at the camera too, but what I loved most about it was how genuinely upbeat he seemed throughout. Not just like he was letting 'happy words' out for exercise, but as if 'not one bit bothered' was right in his bones. I did notice though that Taylor has mostly lost the familiar/affectionate 'Matty' and is 'Matthew' or 'Matt' now. I think he's permanently out on DC's naughty step

his comment was a bluff by the looks of things, clearly city had a wrongful insider knowledge
Seems strange how City were the only Championship club in for him considering Bogle has just been signed for 1 million from L2.
Wouldnt be surprised if Matty and his agent contacted City first and engineered the move.
Nailed on that's our case!

After listening to DC it's pretty obvious that Ratface Midget's agent had tipped off C*ty about his release clause And, perhaps, warning other teams off in exchange for an unusually large agent's fee from a Guernsey bank.

The rest of the championship did not think he was worth a bid, not even 1p. Surely everyone wants a goal scorer? The under the counter market price (Lansdorf jargon) was paid therefore that was all he was worth. The question is, did the Sh-t overpay and were they unaware as to what the rest of the championship may have known about him.

You do wonder though if the club can match DC's ambitions; I cant see DC signed a new deal and turn down Leeds just to consolidate in L1 for a few years.
Certainly having to sell your top scorer isn't going to help with his ambitions?
Maybe he has taken us as far as he can and he would be better off with a club with more power.

Talks a lot of sense regarding how we can't compete with the big boys without a decent infrastructure and revenue streams, just goes to show how much we really need a new Training Ground/academy base/new stadium.

Top notch!! Great interview Darrell!! Honest as he could be with the investigation looming. Was disappointed we didn't bring in a replacement, or the one, or two, extra that he talked about, but at least now we know! Onwards and upwards!!
