It's been a complete distraction.We have been adequately compensated and AB was always the contingency plan, which shows we were prepared if something like this did happen.

Quote from: Wiltshire Exile on March 01, 2021, 10:39:12 amQuote from: Ldr on March 01, 2021, 09:50:45 amWhy is this different than any of us moving jobs? We all tow the line and say the right things in our current role. Just because we as fans have an emotional attachment to the club don't for a second think that 99% of players/managers share it. When we can say we have never moved employment for a better package then we can condem those that do. Perspective pplI agree entirely, Ldr. What makes it stink, though, is when managers and players spout that they “have bought into the ethos of the club”, or “the chairman sold me the club’s philosophy” or “it’s a club that I’ve always admired.” And moved somewhere with a totally different philosophy, his lip service has done us all

Has it not crossed anyones mind that maybe the reason we are looking nothing like the team we were a month or so ago is that other teams managers have got us sussed? Teams are adopting tactics to combat how we play and our manager couldn't or wouldn't change his tactics. So maybe he isn't such a big loss?
Why the speculation about a new manager. Butts has the job to the end of the season. Minimum. End of.

Because in my opinion, be it Butler or AN Other, the manager needs to be in place well before the transfer window and with targets identified and sounded out
Let’s get behind Butts big time. That’s what we all need to do. Darren Moore is now history. Come everyone let’s be all upbeat as that’s what must happen in the dressing room at Cantley Park and the Keepmoat. Positivity Positivity and more positivity. A win tomorrow night and we are back on track. If we lose then let’s not get paranoid about it. Give Butts and the team some slack.

This season could go downhill from here but at the moment I'm less bothered about this than I thought I'd be.Inflexible, dogmatic 'playing out from the back' style of football for no good reason at times. The revolving door of inexperienced loan players, many of whom inevitably picked up injuries and f**ked off back to their parent club when exposed to the rigours of senior football.Crazy team lineups and unnecessary rotation.Seeming indifference to losing, reflected on the pitch at times with lack of urgency and inability to mix things up.Abysmal set-pieces. No team who actually practice set-pieces on a semi-regular basis in training can be this bad.

I completely agree with this, the news shocked me to my boots but I’m nowhere near as bothered as when McCann left.I just didn’t take to him or his football
I%u2019m shocked as I was naive enough to believe he was a nice down to earth bloke, had some loyalty to donny and bought into the family club Doncaster thing. Unfortunately he proved that everything I hate about modern day football is true, it%u2019s all about the money!! F*ck*ng disgusted, firstly with myself for believing it was about anything other than cash, but secondly with him for being the snake mark 2!! Hope Butts does the business and Wednesday go bankrupt! Massive club my arse!!!!!
People mention set pieces but wasn't that Paul Gerrard's job, who is potentially still here.
Wow. Didn’t expect this, although dare I say there were signs beneath the surface. If you read between the lines of the tone of the VSC Twitter account and the tone of certain posters on here over the course of time then you can, in my opinion, draw conclusions around tensions that may be bubbling. Subtle digs / shifting of credit to Adam Henshall for success has been evident for a while. Don’t want to get drawn into a slanging match but...Darren Moore and Grant McCann. Two very different characters. Both jumped ship very quickly to a bigger club in turmoil. If I was on the DRFC Board I’d at least want to have a look inwardly at the reasons why, and what we can learn. Have we just been unlucky? Maybe. Are we getting everything right? Some people will tell you yes, but probably not.
