Re: Break even attendance - Carlisle Utd
Nothing wrong with Carlisle. They were soundly beaten by Soton but they tried.

Re: I know, I know but is anyone else....
As long as the club keep going and the players make an effort,following Darlo from a distance will be a pleasure.

Re: What next for Stan and Purcell?
there seems to be a tremendous amount of ex good footballers in the management stakes and as has been said before his CV looks bad now. As for Mr purcell hope the luck of this particular Irishman lasts out but sadly not with darlo-unless the new manager is a brilliant salesman.

Re: Can see us picking up a few more wins between now and May..
One swallow does not make a summer and an away win will not preserve L2 status but could it be a renewal of interest,a renaissance of optimism and a genuine belief in darlington football club. Did ALL the players perform well? Miracles do happen but I think genuine fans would like to see guts and de...

Sounds like a good all round performance by the whole team. If consistent, what an enjoyable end of season but a pity about the outcome.Lets hope next season`s team will play with some passion and that mr Purcell will decide to stay.

Re: Im hearing
The new manager must be tried and tested at non league`s highest level. The `experiment` is over and slade and brabin have cut their teeth. Brian Little would be my choice because he saw the last renaissance so has seen it all.But the budget could be a stumbling block for any potential `boss`.

Re: Next manager - very important selection
I totally agree. The lure of possibly being a success is a factor but some one who can bring the best out of demoralised players and a community starved of good football. As you say Reno a very important appointment.

Re: how hard can it be
aportioning blame is easy but solving the problem is mindbending. If players are not trying it is their fault with the manager behind to encourage or punish. Manager must be a respect person that can winkle the best from the players he selects-drop the player if he does not respond or get rid. If pl...

Re: Staunton goes
Once again I use the words`what a pity it did not work out`. A new era is about to begin but whoever takes over must be tried and tested at lower league level. The only problem is that 99% of them have been sACKED by some chairmen. Not an easy appointment to make and one that certainly needs careful...

Re: Staunton?
I have to agree about good players and their capacity as managers. Martin peters was heralded as ahead of his time but broke no pots as manager. Mr Staunton needs a guiding influence such as Dave hodgson as director of football on a small wage!!!!

Re: Stan's Contract
Only fate and time will tell. on the subject of contracts and money, I would extend this to the players on ridiculous money. Only if they play well should they get paid more than the average working wage. I bet there are many fans who would go that extra mile to put a bit more in the wage packet. Th...

As you have gathered from the above posts,there is a large number who want him out because he has not brought about a miracle.

Re: "Darlo gave as good as they got"
So the `house` is falling down but the cracks undermining us were there since our troubles. Miracles can happen but there has to be a broad consensus of hope. Too much criticism from the paying public is not doing any good especially when aired in public.
