Depending on whether DF gets set up quick, I think there will be some churn.
Rovers rightly looking to protect their interests on the staff rota.

not really enough time to allow the new mister to take in what's going on at the world cup with regard to spotting potential signings, IMO....

We already know the qualities of Messi so I'm sure Russ Wilcox will be on the phone as soon as the Argies get knocked out.

Post by: RoversAlias on June 05, 2018, 06:36:55 pm: It doesn't say it'll take 3 weeks it says that's the maximum it will take as that is when pre-season starts. You would like to hope that once Monday comes around they'll get on with interviews and make a decision within a week. That'd give the new man a week to prepare for pre-season training to get underway.

Well they'll need to have a UEFA A Licence anyway.

I think that's correct, Filo. Probably the reason why it’s not specified, i.e. no point in applying if you don’t hold UEFA A Licence.

Post by: Lesonthewest on June 05, 2018, 09:08:08 pm: Don't care who it is but I demand a statement from the club immediately after the applications stating categorically that Keith Curle will NOT be manager of Doncaster Rovers, will sleep easier then.
