Bristol Rovers are delighted to announce that Darrell Clarke has agreed to remain at The Memorial Stadium as manager and has agreed a new, improved, three-year contract which will make him the highest paid manager in the club’s history.
There has been speculation all week that Darrell might be leaving following an approach by Leeds United to take him to Elland Road.
Darrell believes that the ambitions of Bristol Rovers match his own and is looking forward to the challenge of preparing the club for life back in Sky Bet League One for the 2016/17 campaign.

Good on him - Leeds would sack by October if they weren't top anyway - silly fookers

They stuck with him and now 2 promotions later they are going well. They have a fairly wealthy owner now as well and if he stays he will be backed in the transfer market. If he went to dirty Leeds he'd be sacked if he lost 2 on the bounce.
