It becomes more and more embarrassing every time DS opens his mouth about this? How does it take two weeks to look at some photos on a freely available website and decide whether they are your player or not? Even if he came out and said Diouf has apologised to him and the rest of the squad and the matter is closed it would be better than this 'investigation is ongoing' nonsense. Shambles.

Shambles.Looking at a photo is easy. Determining the date and time it was taken is another matter. The issue is whether he was in a nightclub on a certain date.I guess it won't be Saunders doing the investigation. Disciplinary investigations are normally undertaken by somebody independent of the person being investigated (ie, not the manager).

Dean isn't going to rock the boat as it's McKay's star man. He's bulletproof.
Give over. This isn't a typical business arrangement. I can't believe you're been taken in by this b*llocks.

The PFA MUST give it's approval for any disciplinary action. The PFA (as a union) is very picky about what it approves. The player would easily avoid any action if the proper process is not followed. I'm all for a player being disciplined if they have broken club rules. If you don't like facts then don't bother commenting.
What the chuff as it got to do with the PFA at this stage?The club/manager has every right to drop a player if they feel he has breached club rules and whilst it's being looked at. Infact a club/manager has every right to drop any player at any time if he so chooses.On the Radio, Deano stated he's asked EHD and he's denied it. Unfortunately the bell of a reporter never pushed him further in asking what he's actually denied.As far as investigations go:1. Ask the player (done)2. Ask the other players in the photo3. Ask the squad who travelled down4. Ring or send some trusted rep to the said nightclubI would suggest (in light of the media highlighting it and more importantly the fans) that could be done in a day to quickly resolve it, one way or another (and most of the above can be done at Cantley Park... if they are actually at training).I would also suggest one has to look at the impact on the club in doing the above steps, as there could be ramifications for the club
Suggest people listen to the interview Diouf says he was not there on that night!SO what does Saunders say your telling lies without any evidence?What is up with people? These opinions are the reasons why people are being driven away from the club....ill thought out SHIT!
ill thought out SHIT!
The objective all along has been to sweep this under the carpet. As Stu says, the conflict of interest is just too great. mcKay will not countenance one of his valuable assets becoming even more tarred. After all, he's worth money. Why worry about tinpot Donny Rovers ffs? It's pretty obvious froM Deano's anguished and fatuous attempts to not see the pics - even when a Radio Sheffield journo offers to show him right then and there on the spot! All Deano did was get angry and refuse to look at them. That tells you all you need to know. The bloke is is a joke.And no Graing It's not a downer on the Rovers. It's shame and despair at how rhis club has been managed, from the very top, this last 2 seasons, the shit it now finds itself in and the shameful and despicable dipsticks who now run it. BobG

These opinions are the reasons why people are being driven away from the club....ill thought out SHIT!Exactly. Saunders says Diouf denies it, so the CEO (not Saunders) will have to investigate it thoroughly and obtain written witness statements from other people there and the photographer (who is a freelancer).These people who criticise the club for doing something the proper way are not helping the club at all. Constant sniping at every little thing they can think of, even it does not have merits. If the club can obtain the full evidence (not just a photograph), then I'm all for Diouf being properly disciplined, but I understand the process the club have to go through.
Not helped either by some \"supporters\" who think they are better than everyone else and hold such high opinions of themselves that they are always right.

I think also many are being ultra sensitive. Nobody has actually wanted the head of EHD. I think folk just want it resolving one way or the other.This is not really a business WBDRFC akin to yours is it. It's a football club. Over many a decade when players have messed up off pitch, then clubs have dealt with them internally in the first instance almost immediately (be that immediate discipline, dropped them or whatever...or even dismissed the allegation and closed the matter). It's still happening today when you read the papers or watch TV. If a manager wants to drop a player at any time then he can if he feels he's not right physically or mentally or for the long term benefit of the club. This matter was over 2 weeks ago now. Tell me if this cannot be resolved by doing the things I said above, almost immediately and certainly within 2 weeks.All it will do is give ammunition to the mischievous ones, ie think:The club will only do something once we are as good as relegatedMake people think we will not do anything until we areMake people think, just let time pass and it will blow over and folk will forgetJust say the matter has been fully investigated and EHD has done nothing wrong that breach's club rules
