Reece Wabara

[Wellred]

Just heard him on Radio Sheffield saying that he doesn't know if he will be here much longer. His loan is almost up but he said a fee had been agreed between the two clubs for a permanent transfer and he would love to stay subject to the investment going through.
I really am getting confused now.
Do we need external investment to cover this?
Can the money not be found by the existing shareholders?
Is someone not prepared to put any more money in?
Has someone not got the money to put in?

I wish someone could give us a clue to where we are heading or are we to find in a month or so we have no Reece Wabara or Richie Wellens.

Have I said elsewhere if the present owners cannot fund the team to keep the standards we have sat they should all hang their heads in shame. I hope they do not allow this to happen they should be showing commitment to set a bench mark in the championship at least. We still need at the moment extra cover at centre half and left back as well as keeping Wellens and Wabarra.

[Donnyrovers]

I hope something gets sorted because we need to keep Wabara and Wellens!

Why should they hang their heads in shame? What a daft thing to say

BEcause they seem to be dragging Their feet from what we all can workout via ths scraps Of info floating about.

an idiot can see that staying in This division is vital for DRFC ,and to turn a blind eye to what rovers need to Help do that is silly.

It's very easy to spend someone else's money isn't it?

[DearneValleyRover]

It's been mooted more than once that any extra investment has to be given 3 ways, what if a portion of that is financially unable to commit more funds.

Get off your high horse.
That is what football supporters of EVERY club expect isn't it?

Thank you for that in total agreement.

Its Been  far too long enough Now to have left the rovers general Public in the dark as to what is what.

It dont cost a bean to keep Their fans ITK,or to come
Out with somert

But they can't spend any one else's can they?
Standards need to be maintained, doing nothing is not an option.

Another pathetic dig at the vsc, I posted as a fan and it has nothing to do with the Status Quo but to do with not expecting other people to spend all their money, it isn't Football Manager where there is a reset function and no consequences, it's real life so I don't expect I hope.

[bigal]

I am sure i read some where that we could have him on a season long loan or buy him out right chose a months loan to see if he would be okay for championship

[redwine]

If it's a case of status quo it has to be down down deeper and down

[steve@dcfd]

So if that is the case, like the other things the VSC forum posters/ fans want is reassurances that the owners can maintain the squad we have at least. It's not a "little bit of Bully" here's what you "did" have.

[MrFrost]

Ok, lets not spend anyones money and watch us throw away what we are building.

If we end up losing players as a result of this takeover/investment farce then people have a right to moan.

Agreed steve but with no info on offer all we can do is speculate isn't it.

It's just a pity the general population of Donny can't see it because the support the club receives is pitiful when measured against what the club has achieved over the last 10 years and ultimately it's why we are where we are. Not once have we ever sold out at the Keepmoat... It's the towns folk that should hang their heads in shame.

I agree if it is as a result of the above, If the investment had not reared it's head though we would have the budget that PD is now working with so the question really is can our shareholders afford to up the budget but has it not been stated how unfair it is to expect them to keep dipping into their pockets to fund the deficit? All these contradictions.

I agree with that, but the owners knew what season tickets we had before assembling this squad. Therefore we should not be losing any players from this squad because we can't afford them. Extra support from the towns population is also a priority but allowing players to leave will not help.

OK so let us say that no talks of any takeover/investment ever took place.
Would the shareholders put money up to sign Reece Wabara or would we be saying NO to him signing for us as we cannot afford him?
Because it seems as though that is the situation.

[wilts rover]

Or he was only brought in short term due to Quinn recovering from injury and is surplus to requirements/an added extra to the squad?

Based on absolutely nothing at all btw.....

[dickos1]

He's working within the budget that was set in the summer before this investment. Now people have heard of this takeover they're saying we should be spending more.
Dickov was happy with the budget set, so let him get on with it.
Ridiculous to suggest that just because a takeover was on the cards that now the directors should spend more of their own money.
They spend a damn site more of their own money than most owners do as it is

There are only 4 people who can answer that but not all are singing the same tune.

[Tommy A]

I find this sort of "we want more and we want it now" kind of foot stamping attitude from some fans really frustrating.

Firstly, we are extremely lucky to have a set of owners who are prepared to fund the shortfall of the club year after year out of their own pockets - they don't have to do it you know!!!!

Secondly, the higher up the leagues we go the bigger that shortfall seems to become. How many of us would like to be in the position where the more success you have the greater the demands on your good nature become.

Remember, there isn't an endless queue of people lining up to give away their money to Doncaster Rovers -  why would there be???

If we are fortunate enough to attract another backer who is prepared to invest more money than the current owners IN THE LONG TERM then I'd be absolutely delighted.

But we have no right to criticise the current owners for underinvestment after all that they have done for the club in the past and continue to do.

SO..... if the owners say we can't afford to keep Wabara then tough!

Also, it isn't the end of the world if we can't maintain our current Championship status. We support DRFC whatever league we're in. with crowds under 10k currently it's difficult to justify why we should be able to stay there.

The end of the world is when we don't have a club to support at all!!

Call me old fashioned, but not signing a player because we can't afford to sign him seems like a wholly sensible approach.

I agree to a point but why agree a deal between the two clubs if we cannot afford the whole package.
Maybe had this whole takeover/investment scenario been kept quiet until it was sorted we wouldn't have the potential for players agents to inflate their demands.

Sorry not in my case it's nothing to do with the takeover. It's do with the standard that PD has set so far this season. Championship football is far better than league. 1 and the players we have so far can hold their heads up and be proud of their performances. The budget set  should have been at least to set a base in the championship. It's not new to the owners we have been here before. Paul  Quinn was not injured, PD wanted Wabarra and he has proved he can play at this level. PD wanted Wellens he has shown he can organise and play in our midfield. The team has set the standard we need to maintain that. If the owners cannot maintain this level then possible and we don't know their budget was not enough. We will have to wait and see what happens. My only fear with the bids is that they will stop the normal workings of the club with each side playing party politics to prove a point. I have no evidence just a fear.
