Everyone get a bloody grip ffs time to move on he’s gone and good luck to him,now concentrate on supporting the team and new manager when he’s announced. Reminds me of the Bay City Rollers when all the Kids were crying over them bye bye baby bye bye you lot men or boys ? that lot down at BS3 must be watering themselves.😂🤣 Some supporters seem to have an unhealthy obsession with the lot down at BS3 and are happy to slag off their own supporters. Have a word with yourself.

No idea why the Sheds would be inclined to do that about us saying our goodbyes.

before you submitted this post you had a choice. 1. The path of light - dont say anything at all. 2. The path of darkness - be a dick to fellow supporters. I’d rather be a dick than a cry baby and support the new manager and the team,why did he leave because he wasn’t sacked it was his own doing so DC only got himself to blame. you are only going to make things worse with these silly postings for the new manager and players.and you have never done that have you ?

Maybe this should be tagged on to a different thread than this one.

I suggest you read it through then Give it a rest, this is supposed to be a thread where fans have the chance to read DC's reply to a posters message of thanks.

What possible impact could this thread conceivably have on the performance of a new manager?

This is the thing with DC. How many managers have genuinely cared and had passion for us and also had the loyalty that DC has had? Probably Ollie, and thats it. Francis was good yes, but as soon as a bigger job came calling, off he went and then raided the club afterwards to boot. Most managers say they care but its still just a job to them. Sorry to go off topic but Francis took us as far as he could, he gave Portsmouth a knock back when they came calling and in the end returned to his club QPR, after getting us mid table championship. DC raided his former club too for players.

well done parrot, and now you've broken the silence I'll add in mine as well. Several people I know have been in touch with DC and also Marcus Stewart and both are massive gasheads and always will be. Emotional times yes, but overwhelmed with support from all the great Gasheads and Pirates out there.

DC raided his former club too for players. I was almost as sorry to lose Francis at the time, but he knew the club could not match his ambition and left on good terms. DC on the other hand was lead to believe (like all of us) that this club could match his ambition, but he found out too late that he had been mislead.

DC raided his former club too for players. yes, I usually agree a lot with 1981, but probably emotions running riot there.
After promotion GF had a lot of offers. He was bombarded with thousands of postcards asking him to stay (he says he still has them in a box in his loft!), so he did. he signed a 1 yr contract with the aim to stabilise us in the Championship, which he did. Then he moved on. I think that was fair at the time. He was a Londoner, a QPR legend, an ex-England Captain and in his days you also didn't earn a lot at any rung of the ladder, especially not in playing for / coaching / managing Exeter City and BRFC from 1983 to 1991, plus a couple of short stints in Wales in the twilight years.
He also of course came back, rather against his wishes, to 'rescue' us in 2001. he's also been back to the club several times since.

Following sending some of your messages to DC i have this morning received this reply :-
Hi Marc,
Just want to say thanks personally for your support you have given me, Really appreciated your emails and you like many others are what makes Bristol Rovers so special and a club I wanted to do so well for.
Last few days have been horrible and it’s going to take plenty of time to get over it but I wish you and the club nothing but success in the future.
Take care
Darrell
What a man! Anyone who doesn’t feel anything over this is a heartless bastard! Or a shithead or Midlandgas. Respect to you sir, good luck with your next project.
