barradge of " personal abuse " in Sutton win.It wasn't a very enjoyable day, " he said. I think it's probably the most personal abuse I've ever taken in 20 years.

I've coached at Millwall, I've coached all around the World.

" I come to work, I'm not an affluent man, I work very very hard to support my career and my family.
" The personal abuse went a little bit far today. " If I flipped that around and went the other way, I'd be locked up.

" We've all got to be balanced about that, I'm a strong character but personal stuff when you come to work, I don't think that's showing us in a great light.
" That's a shame,and that takes the edge off it, for sure, but it doesn't take anything away from the players, they were magnificent "

It is totally unfair if personal abuse is being shouted towards a man trying to do his job even though he appears to have no idea what he is doing. The problem stems from 5 out 6 shit years under Raj, not forgetting the crap years before him. Its got to the stage now people have finally had enough and it's being uploaded on the current management team. Problem starts inside the club because someone like Raj Mr.Burns or Auld Ron should have told him to stop the negative football or go because these supporters won't entertain much more of that crap after years of failure. Sounds like he could be walking away soon.

2 ways he can stop the abuse - walk or start getting results.

He can definitely walk I have personally witnessed that a few times. As for start getting results that started Saturday. Seriously though he needs a convincing win Saturday and probably 6 or 7 points from next 3 games to really get this train by on track.

It's not as if no other football manager has had to endure the wrath of unhappy fans is it?
What did he expect after going 2 down in a run of 7 home games without a win and only a single goal, cheers and adoration?
It is obvious that he understands that the booing and abuse was aimed 100% at him and not the players. It won't stop until HE does something to make it stop, crying to the media will probably bring on more.
Needs to grow up, accept he was wrong about this squad and the best playing style and get us up the table pronto, even better admit he's not up to the job and go.

Maybe, just maybe, he’s preparing the ground for his exit whenever it comes.
The crowd were terrible…but then so was the football.
Cause and effect.

He's changed his tune

Last week....'Direct the abuse at me not the players, I can take it, and for the clever dicks who say dont worry we will Darren, wells that's ok I've been around' etc..

This week---worst abuse in 20 years, I'm a human being as well you know etc...

While there is obviously a line on whats acceptable, he really does paint a target on his own back---this faux hardman persona he has and the constant dropping in of his vast experience, all points to insecurity, and it's now fully on show.

he's made an appalling start to his career here, and made it harder for people to give him the benefit of the doubt from his big I am, Darrens in charge persona---talking shite before the season started on how the players will never have been worked like this in their careers, and 'lets see how a few of them feel after some size 9's up their backside' etc..
The blokes an embarrassment, who thinks he's still in the 80s (Gene Hunt from life on Marrs without the wit) and we don't even have the results to paper over it.
The sooner he gets the heave-ho and can start his old school hardman tribute act at some part time club in National League South the better...

Saturdays game is going to be interesting when the team is read out.
What excuses this time…..odd how unfit players he signed can battle on week after week , but proven players sit on the bench because they’re ‘exhausted’…the only thing getting exhausted is our patience.

Claims he has been resting manni and that helped us to win today, what about the previous losses though Darren?

he should think himself lucky that so many fans turned up to abuse him given the previous games at the vic they have has to endure. yorkshire and lancashire fans would be far less willing to turn up to watch tripe or listen to it.

Saturday will be pivotal for selection alone. If he ventures back down the 433 hoofball route regardless of the players selected then it will be taxi for sarll regardless of the result. He has an ideal opportunity to push forward with the blueprint he fortunately stumbled upon on sat. What is interesting after his comment about employment and providing for the family as far as I can make out if he stubbornly reverts back to his basics he is sabotaging his own career. If he gets the sack from this job I can only see him thankfully going in the one direction much to the relief of other club's and there supporters.

he,s got the cheek to buy a brick for the centenary wall just to piss us off for years till he will never be forgotton.

I am sure the many out of work managers waiting for a chance to prove themselves here we need to find a good one and give them a chance

And from the CKs stand i,m guessing as well.

Sounds like Hartleys side kick, "I was at Sheff Utd you know"

Sarll should have known to " be careful what you wish for "

The bloke is as empty as a windsock.

Nathan Jones is another tit at Charlton basically telling the fans to shut up or he’ll leave

Not sure what these sort of people think they are doing , it’s a losing game having a pop and giving it the big I am all the time

His quotes are worse than Sarll…..’sometimes the players let us down, they let us down big time Tuesday…..and I take responsibility for that ‘
Doesn’t sound like it Nathan

Hate these people who think they are somehow beyond question and know it all

thing is you are not a football manager or a politician so can never understand how their minds work. they are not like us normal folk with a much higher idea of their own importance.

Mind you there is quite a few Respectful mamagers about, We have a few our selves.

He should be grateful that he's still in this prestige job.

He needs to rip up his pathetic boring losing blueprint of football management.
And learn by the lucky education his eyes seen in the 2nd half of Sutton game.

Which should result in an FA Cup 3rd round appearance and back in the top 5 again about Xmas time.

Success or Failure unbelievably still in his own mind.
Now option n 1 should be the easy option.

UTP.

Prestige job

Only you.
Our Leggie Legend.

hes a young manager learning his trade still which i appreciated at first - but its becoming frustrating now. If he really doesnt see or learn from his mistakes then yeh the man needs gone and really needs to give his head a wobble in terms of football management ! you have to simply play your best players if fit - its not rocket science - play also a system that suits them and not you. Dont mix youth team players with 0 experience and expect them to work miracles on a saturday either - far too level headed thinking it will all just work ! This isnt football manager as he keeps telling us ! well he needs to realise that also ! loose against these at the weekend and hopefully its curtains for the lad. Couldnt care less about abuse - its all heat of the moment stuff - his own fault !

He makes light of his and his mates abuse of Match Officals, Yet he takes it to heart.
Think he described the 2nd half as school boy football, So doubt very much he is going to change tack.

When he gets the sack, It will of course be the fault of the "Clever Dicks"
He will be gone if he contiues to wear his blinkers, We are fast approaching November
And if things contiue as is, This season will be done for.
NSD

He’ll be lucky to manage a Donkey Sanctuary after Pools, even though that’s his level..But, him in charge of load of hairy faced uncomplaining, obedient, hard working battlers would be music to his ears.

There is a song about him.


"Coaching All Over The World"

Young Manager still learning his trade?? He's been in Management for over 20 years....so he himself says.

"All over the World"

Does that mean hes been chased where ever he has been.

still young though 42 ... and for a manager. Anyways young in my eyes. Still players kicking about in the pro leagues at that age.

anyways regardless of the football - i dont care how its played aslong as we win. No doubt be an absolute bore show this saturday

He wears nappies.

Young in my eyes as well, What really gets me, He says he understands the Town.
Only one way will you understand Hartlepool, Is being born there, Growing up there.

if he reads that he,ll say that he has had reletives who have lived in the town. bet he verbally has an answer for everything. empty vessels etc.etc.

True Gray but give him a little slack because although not born in Hartlepool he was born in Easington and worked down the mines from 6 yrs old as a yakker.

Hes defo not a Yacker, I,ve seen his passport, "All over the world" but not out in the sticks.

He ain't doing either.
Looks like a 3rd option of
The Sack is also off the Menu.

Seen better run Sunday morning teams.
Pathetic considering our fan base.

surely he cannot survive a defeat on tuesday night especially if we get a draw against a club with a big following and the club is going to lose more money.

Cor blimey, luv a duck a duck, gorden bennett - I would never av spotted old Darren was one of us Yakkers if you hadn't av pointed it out Mr. Leggie. Gawd bless you sir!

Hope your screwing for flatcap in your hands while replying.

I remember last time i was a STck holder in the CKs stand, Higgy was manager and used to get a fair bit of grief/abuse.
And all he did was turnround to the offender and say "Thank You for that"

But this prick thinks he is the special one.

He's 'special' alright - though my previous school used to call it Additional Needs!

As I sometimes say to some of the 'specials', I attempt to.teach, everybody is special - just some more than others!

he needs a documentary on him titled The Manager From Hell.
