The Viking Supporters Co-operative welcomes the statement made yesterday by John Ryan and hopes that this spells an end to the recent takeover activity which has blighted the past two closed-season preparations and affected our team being competitive for a proportion of those respective league campaigns.
John Ryan's successes whilst at the helm of Doncaster Rovers FC stand as testimony to his drive, ambition and support for the club, and the Trust would like to officially thank John for providing stability and a vision at a time where there was none. All supporters will no doubt be eternally grateful to John for stepping into the breach in 1998 and the subsequent period of success he oversaw. Following John's statement, that is now a closed chapter of the club's recent history and the Trust now urges all supporters to unite behind the current board and owners as we move forward, club and supporters together.
We would like to wish John every success with his other business ventures.
