Title: SOD
Post by: karlos on November 11, 2018, 06:53:00 pm
If all we are going to do is stand still like we have over the last few seasons let's go cap in hand and bring back SOD at least we know he is capable of putting a good team together. Also get JR back in the club and bring some passion back. To much emphasis is put on being club Doncaster let's be Doncaster rovers again.

No, there's just absolutely no justification for calling for O'Driscoll to come back. And we can't just "get John Ryan back", he was the one that chose to stop his involvement, no one else. The entire post is just drivel.

Why did he choose to stop his involvement, because of the stupid experiment. Wouldn't you have chose to be no part of it??? No you would probably have said give it till Christmas like always

On the subject of defending a corner, I am not sure whether Marquis or Wilks was at fault.
The Chorley player who scored had a free run into the box, I think he gat away from Wilks in the first instance and Marquis was the player who tried to get a head to the ball before the scorer made contact.

This entire thread is laughable but one point of order - John Ryan actually instigated the experiment, he didn't leave because of it, and his last act involving this club was to try and get us taken over by a dodgy hedgefund.

Our club is in a good place right now off the field, and things are progressing on the field too but it takes time and we've a long way to go. SOD and JR are never coming back and nor should they, look forward not back.

I don't think anyone is happy about bad form or performances. You can make tactical changes or personnel changes to see if results change first without having to change manager, chairman, mayor, Prime Minister, Santa, etc.

You lot have no ambition and would be happy if we was back down in the conference but no worries we will give it till Christmas and then the end of the season oh yes then we'll give him a preseason to see how he gets on. Load of trash then the day he gets sacked he will become the worst manager we've had just like Darren Ferguson whoo you now call. Isn't that right redj you numpty.

Can't believe you lot call John Ryan he may have been behind the experiment which was wrong but when your going on about a club being sustainable just remember he saved the club that you want to make sustainable long before he brought the other two in one of which doesn't even like football and once quoted he would sell the club if a buyer came in! Short minds.

He was behind the experiment mate as red j said I was also for it we were struggling with little hope of staying up so I thought was worth a go, every person on this board knows what jr did for us and most would love him back but it's not going to happen mate and while tb might not be as enthusiastic as jr he has put a lot of his own cash into the club and now without him we would be back to square 1,yes we might get a new owner but for every good owner you get at least 5 crap ones, we're in with a shout of the play offs wait and see at end of season before being to harsh

So because I was in favour of it and I disagree with you, I know nothing about football, yet it's perfectly fine for him to have backed it? Christ, you do talk b*llocks. No point even responding to the rest of the post if that's the level of your logic.

And no, I don't give a f**k if someone has a different opinion to me, everyone has the right to their own opinion. Just as everyone else has the right to pull it apart and call it b*llocks if that is their opinion.

It's about time myself included stopped slagging other fans off for having different opinions. My opinion may not be the same as others but it's still the club I choose to support and the club others choose to. So let people have opinions and accept we all have different aspirations that way you won't get my back up and have a rant on here from me. How's that sound !

Who did Ken Richardson buy the club from?

I may be wrong,but my recollection is,JR did'nt have as much money then,think he made most of his fortune after he sold to firestarter,and used the increased wealth made from his business interests outside football,to save the club when he came back.I was also under the impression JR did not want to sell to Richardson,But he came under pressure from our fans,because they felt/believed richardson wanted to spend more on the players and get us winning etc,etc,which he did at first.Also,did'nt other shareholders sell their share to Richardson giving him majority control and JR felt he could'nt work well with richardson under though critea?As you say,it was/is'nt a straight forward way of events,it's been pretty complex.Including JR having to go incogneto to buy Rovers back from Richardson to save us.

In my opinion we are already much better than last season, the progress between how we play this season and how we did under Ferguson is clear. With mostly the same players too. We have had a bad patch of late, no doubt, but I still think we're doing more right than we were for much of the last campaign.

First sentence of your post - completely irrelevant.

Second sentence - you said JR went because of the experiment when (1) it was his idea in the first place and (2) he didn't go because of it. I'd say that was a pretty fundamental thing not to know.
