Potentially Knoyle as a big signing. Was League Two team of the year and had some Championship interest.
However SM, isn't there an issue there in that arguably there should be someone alongside Gavin doing the same things on a football point of view? We appear to me to be moving through managers with different contacts, aims, ambitions and styles, it doesn't allow a consistent and longer term build. Would we not perhaps benefit from that constant presence?It is almost like we stop and start the whole thing again with each change of manager. Players, coaches the lot.In reality there isn't an easy answer but it feels like we could do things different to solve it?
I'm surprised at how many people on here are identifying the issues and the problems with player choice and recruitment, yet nobody seems to know the answer, or at least a consistent theory on how it should operate.Let me just point out though that Gavin is not involved in the selection of players. Yes he gets involved in contract negotiation and advising the manager with respect to who is clearly not affordable or who's agent is talking too tough, but not during the selection process. That aspect is carried out by the football side of the business, that is the manager, talent identification guy, and senior pros. So, those who think he doesn't know enough about the football side shouldn't worry. What Gavin is though is an excellent sportsmen who forged his own sporting career. He does specialise in the business side of the club, to obvious effect.

Cos I don't know and the league table doesn't lie.
Dodoo, Fej, Bogle and Hiwula have all got half decent records at our level.
How the hell can anyone on here challenge the interview.

Monday 13th December.That’s been preempted again by Gavin having interviews with Radio Sheffield and Doncaster Free Press he stated the clubs views and plans therefore diluting a lot of questions. They will just reiterate the answers that been given.
He stated in the interview the plans still remain to be a fiscal club in the Championship. We won’t overspend to achieve that but we will continue to get there. We won’t have top two budget but our budget will increase so we can fight to get in the play offs. If you do that enough times you will be promoted.The club hope to be in the position of fighting for the playoffs in the next two seasons.They will ensure the manager as every assistants to achieve that. So what’s going to be said any different on Monday.
To be fair, if GB hadn't done any press interviews in the wake of Wellens leaving, he'd have been slated for that as well. Sometimes you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Why does everybody, like you, think that there is some kind of conspiracy to give out false or misleading information?

No good moaning about the board and lack of communication and then when one of these meetings occurs not going and asking questions.

They’re not being paid a decent salary or being gifted shares to come up with it, GB is. He’s clearly done a really good job from a commercial standpoint but a pretty poor one football-wise. He should be accountable for that and seeking to improve it.
