Gets dodgy managers, players from Sunday league sides absolutely no investment, crap kits, no investment in stadium- indeed try to burn it down.
Richardson out?
Oh, that was in the past. Swear it feels like that now. https://twitter.com/robertmdaws/status/1616880823252258817?t=9vsPcygUOxOL-j2JxmisBw&s=08
Crap ground, no investment in youth or locals, no investment facilities, nothing put in during covid time.
A tad perspective is needed from some

You just want to see a club going forwards in a positive manner , cost cutting is understandable in todays climate but when it effects the ability on the pitch which ultimately is you’re biggest asset then fans have a right to air their opinion. Sometimes it goes over the top but most fans expectation was to see rovers landing a playoff spot at worst , we are within touching distance and yet again we are doing it on the cheap in this window when a few able bodies or some money spent could turn into a shrewd investment , instead we sell probably our best player and looking at a striker from scunny that sums it up for me.
I dread to think what else will be cut back next year or what budget schofield will have to work with.

So its the player comes from that bothers you and immediately you think he is no good, and I bet you have seen him play a hundred times.
It's a good job Brian Clough and Taylor didn't think like that with two players from Hartlepool and one from Long Eaton, two washed up injured central defenders from Liverpool and Birmingham City, and a fat Scots lad when he won the European cup.
Never thought I would think of a so called Rovers fan as a snob, especially when we have been left behind by clubs like Accrington, Morecambe and others who sign a fair share of cast offs and non league players no one has heard of while we have nose dived with signings from West Brom, Spurs, Manchester United and City, most of who we have either had all on to get them to play a handful of games or have been very poor.

I’ve seen him 99 times , nothing to do with being a snob at all Alfie may etc were decent for us and we had a better squads what didn’t need much improvement which this one cries out for !!!

Even the BBCman on Football Heaven said its about time Uncle Terry put up or shut up. The man from Scunny might do us a job but a decent manager and a few quid last season and we'd still be in League One .

Uncle Terry who isn’t a big football fan has put in over 20 million ( so I understand ) of his own money into DRFC. Money he will never get back unless we get to the Premier league.
He didn’t have to join the board. Buy a majority share holding in the club did he. But he did.
Where would we be now if he hadn’t done above?
Just be very very careful for what you wish for. The alternative could be what Scunthorpe United are currently. Penniless and bottom of the National league.
Yes we all would wish we had another John Ryan. One worth at least 500 million who was a fanatical supporter of the club who would invest heavily without seeking any return.
But we don’t and I don’t see a queue at the door from someone genuine who would have the best interests of the club.
Do You Armthorpe mickler?
-
We will be taken over in the next couple of years i guarantee it , then you might see a few changes what we have been crying out for and well overdue changes and at board level as well
-
Guarantee it?
b*llocks.

I notice he hasn't guaranteed any success, just changes.

Lets hope a prospective buyer certainly has perspective. Who's doing the due diligence?

We don’t need a new owner. What we need is better recruitment using our existing budget and some managerial stability.

I can assure you there is NO prospective buyer in the pipeline, with due diligence being conducted ….FACT.

£20 million that he will never get back 'not investment'?
How much should he spend to buy us out of this league btw?

Who is banding this 20 million anyway, the same person who said 4.5m a year

His first statement was next 2 years, not sure it takes two years to do due diligence on a L2 football club like

Tell me who is doing the due diligence that you claim is happening and I might believe you. If you can't answer I'll know what to believe.

There’s no due diligence being carried out Glyn, I think you know who to believe.

I always did. I was just trying to see what further BS he'd come out with if he dared. Purely for entertainment purposes only!

Dared what are we , next you’ll be accusing me of egging windows
-
No, I'm accusing you of not being able to answer a simple question.
I'm going to predict you still won't answer it in your next post. Or any posts after it.

I’m going on what I’ve been told by a close source not my business to prove them wrong

I'm not asking you to prove them wrong, but prove them right. Or name them so we can ask the organgrinder directly.

I’ve told you what I know and nothing more or nothing less , get dynorod in if the smell doesn’t improve

Or you might see the club run down like bury, or scunny.

You can believe what you’ve been told fine.
The fact is though without any evidence to substantiate it makes it nothing more than gossip.
Let’s live in the real world not some fantasy one which a few of our Viking forum posters seem to live in.
If 20 million isn’t an investment in the club by the way what is it. Well actually it’s a gift.
No interest. No repayment due.
I think I would call that an investment.
-

So, to sum things up...despite you giving us your personal guarantee about this, you actually know nothing about anything yourself.
Is that wrong?

It’s like internet dating you believe the profile or you chose to swipe and ignore

I'm not saying he never invested anything, but what does he want for the future.
Is he after a return on it

You made that choice but didn't want to give others the same choice. You didn't say it just a rumour you heard, you presented it as fact, with a personal guarantee. How much is that personal guarantee worth now, eh? And in the future?

So why post on here, knowing damned well you would be challenged for more details that you claim you can’t provide?

Let’s face it - you’ve made a proper tit of yourself with this

He is from Doncaster. He is a philanthropist.
He wants to give something back to the City.
DRFC is one of the many things he has invested in. He gives millions to various worthwhile projects, charitable organisations etc etc from what i can gather.
He isn’t looking for any return on that capital.
Does that clear this up once and for all?

He hasn’t gone anywhere yet. So totally irrelevant until it happens.

A faxed photocopy of a bank statement, anyone?

The money put into the budget has been cut back over the years, but it is to be expected to a degree. We have dropped divisions. We should have started the sustainability once we had a strong squad in place. As it is the money put in hasn’t been used well. I’m hoping Schofield does a better job of it.
