There are a handful of people who have been posting similar things on Twitter and Facebook, not just this “Charlie” guy.
It would be good if this helped to stop the awful stuff our lot give Clarke.
Give him stick by all means but not the personal comments and not that silly dog song.

Then they also should be exposed for the scum they are
That’s what I’m hoping for too. Need to put an end to these offensive songs.
I really hope we don’t hear any on Saturday (or they get shut down quickly).

Great manager. Lovely person
Fair play to Darrell. We didn’t give him enough resources to get promotion, although he did sign some tat (Guthrie, Liddell, Sinclair, etc). We arguably gave Matt Taylor a lot more resources in terms of proven League 2 players such as Wilkinson, Labadie, Monthe, Ash Taylor, Ward. But Taylor, and Sadler after him, didn’t find a playing style that suited the players at his disposal. Taylor played 4-2-3-1, without the proper wide attackers in the 3, and should have played 3-5-2, whereas Sadler tried to play 3-5-2 without the wing-backs required to make the system work, and should be playing 4-4-2. These managers should just keep it simple!

Darrell Clarke was given a team of players where almost all of them had or have gone on to play in higher leagues. Some in the championship, and Adebayo in the premier league!
That he couldn’t even challenge for the play offs shows you he did a rubbish job, and put us in the mad cycle of letting better players go and replacing them with inferior ones. Up there with Keates and Hutchings as the worst Walsall manager of the last 30 years.

On a football level he was shite
On a personal level my heart goes out to him, because what he has gone through, no parent should suffer, and he gets my love my heartfelt condolences and my respect

Promotion at Vale, Bristol rovers and now acheving what was seemingly impossible at Cheltenham. We would easily be top 19 with DC in charge

His influence on the Vale promotion is questionable - he had no say in signings and was entirely absent from the ground for 6 months of the season!

It was 6 weeks not 6 months. Darrell has done well everywhere he’s been apart from Walsall. Maybe we all need to look a bit closer to home as to why our managers seem to fail here.

Of all the managers post Smith, Darrell is definitely the one who got away. But remember he walked, like Smith walked, because our club couldn’t match his own personal ambition. Difficult to argue with either individual.
The other managers post Smith have all been really poor appointments.

6 weeks due to the tragic loss of Ellie his daughter. He signed alot of the players, bought in Crosby and then finished the job at Wembley.
Cheltenham had not scored a goal until he got there. Now they have a fighting chance of staying up
By far the best appointment since Bonser and that includes Taylor, dutton and Sadler
Agreed. Need to look within why he did so poorly
With this squad fit I’m convinced Darrell would have us challenging. Great person. Great manager

With the possible exception of the incumbent.
Incidentally, I note that, when Clarke’s team did badly, it was allegedly down to poor players, but when Sadler’s does, it is down to poor management.
All our recent managers have suffered from ongoing injury crises.

Well done Mr Clarke. 2-1 winners over Portsmouth today at home, almost out of the drop zone. What an achievement that will be when it happens…

Yeah (who said you weren’t? Always love that reaction against something that wasn’t even opinion based 
) but not your own facts. And the fact is he walked out on the club and slagged it off on the way out, after cocking it up 
thanks “Mr Clarke”.
