It should be a very interesting conversation.
Not since the club got turfed out of Football League has a squad been so depleted of its quality players . The board are running the club to keep in business but to see what was a squad with potential being dismantled isn’t inspiring . I Watched the Charlton game made feel pleased and that when it counted we had the character to diggin and fight because the players each knew what they could do given the opportunity. With all these players leaving for various reasons it’s got to have had an effect on the planning for next season . Players who we approach and the impression as to why are we letting our best players go or more importantly why didn’t they want to stay . Only a few players have signed the dotted line , 12 out 1 in doesn’t make for a good advert in selling the club to prospect targets . I think Grant McCann isn’t fazed by it as it’s none of his making. But the board had to put some positive slant to all this as the prospects for next season is looking glum already .
-
I'd like to ask them how their 5 year plan of being a sustainable Championsip club is going.
-
You keep saying 12 out but include players who either didn't play at all for us last season or maybe made a miniscule amount of appearances.
-
Usually just after the seasons started. Which is ages away and still time to bring in a few players.
-
Idd dread to think what you would be like if you supported a club like Bolton or Bury at the minute
-
Wonder if you'd ask any of these questions to them yourself, since-1969? Aren't you getting bored of posting reams of the same negativity all day?
-
Even the most positive of fans must be a little worried about how things are going.
-
Nope.

So your content then .

But we don’t and why should it matter , we all look to next season to be better than the last .

I am, yes. Have stated so multiple times on here and on Twitter because it is still mid-June and there is literally months for us to sign players and form a good squad of players. I have the belief in McCann, Baldwin and the staff to do that and make us a fresh, good side who can compete. If September rolls around and we still haven't signed anyone then I'll say otherwise but until the window progresses it isn't justified to be panicking or criticising the club in the manner that yourself and some others are doing.
-
Who’s panicking it just gets a bit tedious that every year we stutter to get a grip of our recruitment and this season is perhaps more significant after coming so close in the playoffs and with so many negatives happening to the team .
-
What ever happens weather players come in or don’t, I’ll be there first game of the season to show my support, full faith in the manager to run the club the way he deems so, he’s played in the lower leagues and thinks it’s more sensible to have a team that earn around the same rather than some on big wages to others, and I think that makes sense, let’s see how the team lines up on the start of the season. I remember questioning who the hell wilks and Kane were last season, and he nailed them. Sure he will deliver come August
-
We've lost a lot of players but that's how it goes when you have some success at this level without going all the way. We have the financial capability to rebuild and do it well, we have done it before (under Saunders) having to build a whole new team at much shorter notice than this summer and we won the title. So people should have a bit of patience and belief in the club. They have earned it this past year for sure.

I'd like to ask them how their 5 year plan of being a sustainable Championsip club is going.
I would like you to post something credible instead of slagging the club off.
Do you want a Football Club that is solvent or do you want boom & bust.
Simple question ok. Which is it you want?

The pitch is being re laid, the four training pitches are being improved, the stadium exterior is being painted.
Even the changing rooms are being decorated.

You might want to get hold of a copy of the last stadium fabric report. The place needs hundreds of thousands spending on it.

Unless something serious has failed I can't see how that can be the case? At most the M&E will be starting to show its age now but the building fabric should need nothing more than a spruce up. The club need to be careful of those types of reports as they can paint a worse picture than what in fact is reality.

As fans we pay our required fee and for that we get a nice stadium to watch our team , a stadium that by my understanding costs the club a lot less than it did when it was ran by the council. Then we were a Championship club and our overheads a great deal more than now . But as with progress things change and through various dealings the club runs the show pays less in rent , less in wages etc and less in subsidies to the team . It’s a per annual event guessing the budget and every year its “top six” . Players are leaving because of the budget ... Fact !! . McCann stated when contract negotiations were muted “We will not be held to ransom and if players want leave then we will replace them” He had only been in the job a few months and he’s already talking to clubs mantra . To quote Rab C Nesbit “ I will tell you this” there will be no funds for players , so they’ll have to come to club for a free . Marquis will leave and it will be for a none disclosed amount . L1 is our home and they the board don’t fancy flitting any time soon . Every thing will come to pass , if we want out of this League it will each And everyone 3-4 x what we are paying now . Sponsors are being taken to the club to the cleaners because there not coughing up , so that’s less money to burn .

Intwrestinf about sponsors, I've noticed the number of boards around the stadium declining season on season.

Round and round we go. Absolutely nothing wrong with the last stadium fabric report, we discussed this before remember?
The local SAG gave us 10 out of 10, the insurers gave us 10 out of 10, as did the EFL.

Are you and RedArmy deliberately trying to do a wind up or something?
You both talk so much negative bullshit it’s embarrassing that you both portray yourselves to be supporters of our great club that is DRFC.
I have never seen so much bullshit spouted on this forum in one evening by two people.
It’s pathetic, embarrassing and very sad.

Since-1969, I take it from you username you started watching Rovers in 1969. If so you know full well that one of the best times to be a Rovers fan has been the last 15 years or so. Therefore could you explain why you are so negative and desperate to knock the board?

The pitch is being re laid, the four training pitches are being improved, the stadium exterior is being painted.
Even the changing rooms are being decorated.
What more could you want?
A lick of paint isn't gonna get us promoted is it?

Bet you two are an absolute blast at parties

This thread - the OP - it’s insane. GM has instilled his methods at the club. On and off the pitch. And people are frothing at the mouth as if the owners are somehow in some way deliberately trying to sabotage the club...
It beggars belief. Players come and go. GM was great with recruitment last Summer and he’d only just arrived. Firm but fair. And he’s thorough, importantly.
Stop greetin like bairns. It’ll be good.

Not sure whythe OP wants to know when the next meeting is, in the past when he’s posted shite on here and theres a meeting heeither never attends or he does n’t ask any questions, just posts shite on here

Whhoooosh.

I know .. but my point was where has all THIS investment gone as it was in abundance then but it’s gone down ever since . We had a very good team last season but it’s back to the beginning for this . Now that’s sad !

All of you were saying the exact same thing last season were you not...No budget,no hope,no ambition blah blah and we had a great season..You haven't learned much from that..

What the f**k are you talking about? We've signed one player (which is in line with most League 1 clubs), we've got several in the pipeline, pre-season training hasn't even started yet. Just because we've refused to piss money up the wall on players who either aren't good enough or don't want to be here does not mean the board are stealing money from the club, which is a serious accusation.
Mods, why are we still persisting with the clown? I get we have a variety of opinions on here, but this clown is extremely negative, contributes nothing to any discussion and blockades up the board with his tedious, fictional, unwarranted, illogical shite. Just ban him.

Because I’m asked to buy a season ticket for a club that is run by millionaires , when Peter Wetzle or David Attey or Jones ran the club they were local successful businessmen who gave up their time to keep the Club afloat and didn’t grumble nor did the fans . I’m on record as saying how I commend our board . There is one thing I recognise that there is NO magic wand and their involvement is paramount to the clubs future . But when players are leaving it’s down to lack of funds to prevent it . They are owed £ms so it’s hard to be critical in the face of this , yet I ask my self what do they won’t to achieve by their involvement and undoubted huge investment . If we let our best players leave after coming so close , what are supporters supposed to do when their hero s sign for our rivals but we never hear a word about this or what the board want . John Ryan has gone and he took with him the only voice we ever heard then or since . The meeting we have are not working as it’s Grant McCann fronting the bad news and keeping them free from what is their job to tell him you’ve got to except it or lump it . I have 3 season ticket in my family , we live in Sheffield so we’re right in the middle of some real competition but since-1969 I’ve kept the faith and I will remain inspite of disapproval of my views .

So what was your view when Micheal McIndoe, Richie Wellens, Matt Mills, Billy Sharp left to better their careers, did you point the finger at JR for letting our best players go?
There's always bigger fish in football and you know it.
Get a grip. Andrew, Rowe were not our best players. Butler is towards the twilight of his career. Wilks and Kane were not our players to lose.
We're in mid June. I'm sure the rest of us on here suggest you to take a rest for your own sanity.

Get a grip. Andrew, Rowe were not our best players. Butler is towards the twilight of his career. Wilks and Kane were not our players to lose.
We're in mid June. I'm sure the rest of us on here suggest you to take a rest for your own sanity.
No but we were getting relegated at the time .

As fans we pay our required fee and for that we get a nice stadium to watch our team , a stadium that by my understanding costs the club a lot less than it did when it was ran by the council. Then we were a Championship club and our overheads a great deal more than now . But as with progress things change and through various dealings the club runs the show pays less in rent , less in wages etc and less in subsidies to the team . It’s a per annual event guessing the budget and every year its “top six” . Players are leaving because of the budget ... Fact !! . McCann stated when contract negotiations were muted “We will not be held to ransom and if players want leave then we will replace them” He had only been in the job a few months and he’s already talking to clubs mantra . To quote Rab C Nesbit “ I will tell you this” there will be no funds for players , so they’ll have to come to club for a free . Marquis will leave and it will be for a none disclosed amount . L1 is our home and they the board don’t fancy flitting any time soon . Every thing will come to pass , if we want out of this League it will each And everyone 3-4 x what we are paying now . Sponsors are being taken to the club to the cleaners because there not coughing up , so that’s less money to burn .
A post full of absolute tosh!!
Where does one begin with such convoluted opinion and thinking?
Since-1969, I take it from you username you started watching Rovers in 1969. If so you know full well that one of the best times to be a Rovers fan has been the last 15 years or so. Therefore could you explain why you are so negative and desperate to knock the board?
Because I’m asked to buy a season ticket for a club that is run by millionaires , when Peter Wetzle or David Attey or Jones ran the club they were local successful businessmen who gave up their time to keep the Club afloat and didn’t grumble nor did the fans . I’m on record as saying how I commend our board . There is one thing I recognise that there is NO magic wand and their involvement is paramount to the clubs future . But when players are leaving it’s down to lack of funds to prevent it . They are owed £ms so it’s hard to be critical in the face of this , yet I ask my self what do they won’t to achieve by their involvement and undoubted huge investment . If we let our best players leave after coming so close , what are supporters supposed to do when their hero s sign for our rivals but we never hear a word about this or what the board want . John Ryan has gone and he took with him the only voice we ever heard then or since . The meeting we have are not working as it’s Grant McCann fronting the bad news and keeping them free from what is their job to tell him you’ve got to except it or lump it . I have 3 season ticket in my family , we live in Sheffield so we’re right in the middle of some real competition but since-1969 I’ve kept the faith and I will remain inspite of disapproval of my views .
You were not forced to buy a season ticket though, most football clubs are now run by millionaires and small local (albeit successful) businessmen no longer have the financial clout to be involved. Without hard evidence you cannot say players departures are down to lack of funds. There are many reasons why players leave however in the case of Butler & Rowe it's probably because, quite rightly, in my opinion they were offered reduced terms and they believed they were worth more. Our manager obviously thought they weren't and again rightly refused to increase the offer. It looks to me that in Danny's case his agent engineered the move to Fleetwood. With regards to the loan players (Downing excluded) it was never in our hands to decide their future. I believe McCann when he says we just could not meet Downings demands and good luck to Paul I'm sure he can find a club that will pay him 5-6k a week.

You are of course worthy of your opinion. But you are mistaken where money is concerned . It’s been all hands to the pumps at DRFC for quiet a while now .

I can't afford it.
But I don't moan about it.
You moan about the people who at least pay for the privilege of having an opinion.
Don't I have the same privilege then?
Yes, I'm generous like that, but in return, I suggest you resist moaning at the moaners who at least go to games, who without we wouldn't have a club to moan about.

There is a Mona Road in Balby. Living there must be like coming on here at times.😉

Give me some evidence that we are struggling for money!!

I think there's only one person who's mistaken where money is concerned, and it's not Bessie Red!

Privilege isn't yours to determine.
PS How much do you think someone has to pay for you to believe they have the privilege of expressing an opinion?
PPS You can keep your suggestion s to yourself. You can't afford the price of the privilege of suggesting anything to me.

Supporters who pay to watch their football team have a right to comment on what they are paying to see. Fans, like you who don't attend, have no right to moan about their comments.

Have you even bothered reading this thread, or just jumped in to act like a t**t because you noticed I've posted in it? It's about Meet The Owners, not what happens on the field. Berk.

You said forget about meeting the owners you silly sausage, So I did! I then responded to your request by inviting you to meet the moaners in the Rovers bar.
