Final warning?

[Canadian Rover]

Does anyone think the board have told Dickov that a huge improvement in form and performances are required in the next few weeks or he'll be getting his P45?

[andysly]

I can't believe that some sort of ultimatum hasn't been given.

[GazLaz]

Do you think he needs to board to tell him that the results aren't great? That just puts added pressure on. I said last month we should give him till January then assess the situation and I still think that.

[acko]

due to the boards response i think they are quite happy with the situation,otherwise he would have gone some time ago

[GazLaz]

The man deserves a bit of time after the preseason we had.

[DRFCSouth]

We need to assess the situation now. January is another month down the line. Another month gone where opinion remains the same.

Rubbish, its git nothing to do with performances now

[bpoolrover]

what was there response?

[Wellred]

The silence is deafening

[BobG]

It is not the job of ANY Board of Directors to publicly comment on the performance of either their employees or their company. In the case of a privately owned organisation, that is doubly the case. Their role is to oversee, to appoint and to remove and to set long term goals. How the company gets to those goals, is, within reason, in the hands of the Chief Exec. It is therefore he who will be under severe pressure at the moment.

Have we still got one? 

[silent majority]

Yes we have. I spent a long time chatting with him on Monday on a whole range of subjects and of course team performance was one of those. For people to suggest that they show no concern or don't care about our current level of performance is very wide of the mark.

[ian1980]

You have to remember though SM that whilst your having all these 'chats' with various people within the club, that information/content isn't shared, your every day supporter can only see what's in front of them. At the minute, that is nothing.

I'm not one that believes every shred of information should be put in to the public domain but surely some can be put out.

Take to new chairman for example. How long has he been in post and how many times have we heard anything from him??

There is a balance between not putting too much out there and keeping the fans up to speed.

So how long has dickov got?

Martin,

While I appreciate what you mean, but "For people to suggest that they show no concern" isn't wide of the mark, it's actually correct, they show no concern.  The question of whether they should show concern is discussed elsewhere, but I don't think it is wrong to say that no concern is being shown, I haven't seen any.

I think most supporters will agree with you there, Ian, and it is something we have raised in discussions with the club.

Supporter's have told us we've gone from 10 years of having soundbites on demand to the complete opposite end of the spectrum, and we've passed on those comments to the club.  They are aware and will no doubt address it soon.

January 1st or January 31st? I only ask cos you see the longer 'we' procrastinate, the further we sink & the more we end up 'panic buying' the next incumbent. Then there's the small matter of January's transfer window, are you really wanting to hand that possible window of opportunity to PD?

I know it's the season of goodwill & all that, but come on, as Roberto Duran once said, "No Mas".

You come on here quite a lot telling us of your cozy chats with the powers that be. Isn't it about time you started to elaborate a little more rather than just scattering crumbs.
I was under the impression that you represented the VSC? not Martin O'Hara when you have your "chats"

[RTID75]

Wellred, do you really think the club want, or will allow everything said in confidence to the supporters cooperative to be fed into the general fan base?

I think you know the answer to that question.

How often is quite a lot? I challenge you to find recent posts where I've done exactly this. Or any posts!

How do you know who i was representing on Monday? are you suggesting that I should only talk to him as a VSC representative, or am I not allowed to talk to him as an individual like anybody else? And should I then publicly repost everything we discussed?

As it happens I was wearing my FSF hat on Monday, so do you think I should share that with you too??

You're so desperate to criticise that you've forgotten to engage brain and manners.

[RJHeader]

The silence is becoming unberable from the board and its starting to piss a lot of fans off, me included.

SM whilst you might have been reassured by your pal on the board, nobody else has. And thats what stinks. The fans deserve a lot better than this.

I apologise you never used that exact word, i'll rephrase if it helps you out matey

It doesn't help me out matey, apart from quoting me more accurately.

But what exactly do you think the board should be telling you?

Desperate? No.
Just curious as to what the vsc and its representatives actually do to keep the supporters informed as to what is going on at our club.

[silent majority]

Curious? I doubt it.

Now my interpretation of your previous post was a personal slur aimed at me. Maybe you should apologise for that and then ask the question politely.

Like its been mentioned further up, we've gone from regular updates from the club for the last 10 years. Constant communication to this.

Do you think the fans are updated about the club enough? And by club i dont mean some vouchers for £10 off a Dons match. I mean the Rovers, the team i support, not 'Club Doncaster'

Don't doubt that. There's definitely been a major change in how the club communicate. That's not such a bad thing at times but if you want sound-bites from the Chairman I doubt very much you'll get it from this one.

If you remember the last time we were in a similar position JR was busy telling everybody that SOD's job was safe, and then sacked him 2 days later. I can't see the current board behaving so inappropriately.

Any chance to have a go at JR is taken i see haha.

Ah just have to deal with it then. No communication from the current Chairman. Fans you just pay your money and watch the shite that has been served up and we'll stay behind the scenes and keep quiet.
