39 minutes in, there's a six minute interview with Darrell Clarke.

DC says he was angry and bitter for two weeks after getting sacked but is over it now but still thinks he was hard done by, January was a poor January window, he's ready now for a new management role and to make his remaining daughter proud, he is currently scouting for his next recruitment task at wherever he ends up, says he is not "damaged goods" (Phil Brown's words) after the personal tragedy he endured, also mentions other changes in his personal life, wishes Crosby and all the staff here well and speaks on how managing upwards will be something new for someone who has done excellently as a coach and earned his opportunity.

Thanks for that.  Certainly dispels any mutual parting of the ways theories.

I genuinely think he'll be back in January.

Bear in mind I said MK Dons would go down six months before they did ...

I don't.

Good interview by Darrell. He came across very well. Shame it didn’t work out. Football is very harsh.

Was that ever a theory?

I have a theory that Darrell is out of his depth at League 1 level. I base this on happenings at Bristol Rovers, Walsall and Port Vale. Either that or he is really unlucky...

Just let it go. !!

You got your wish now enjoy life with the new gaffer.

Treat Clarke as a specialist manager, same as the relegation avoiding experts, brought in for promotion to L1. Without him, we could still be there in L2

However you didn't want him at League 2 where his record is superb ?

He has caused me to have to move from my chosen seat under the erroneous impression that it will affect our results, I am sure other managers could have achieved promotion without destroying the continuity of the squad. But I am happy to let it go.

The fact there’s already double the amount of STH’s in the Hamil compared to the Bycars suggest a lot more agree with him than yourself and it was a club decision not DC himself.

sacking him made no difference to our league one status anyway. I’d of kept him and hopefully the club have realised this window has to be better than January’s.

There again buying a 24 packet of Jafa cakes and only finding 1 in the packet would be better than the January transfer window.
