JR interview on Sky Sports

[DearneValleyRover]

my first concern is what do the other two chaps on rovers
Board as know how to be hands on at a football Club++

That's why Gavin is employed, until now he has had his hands tied behind his back.

Had his hands tied behind his back?
He's had more autonomy than any other person in his position employed by the club.
Who do you think came up with the plan to give the money to the Dons?

Really? gave other people's money away without permission.

I cant remember the last  time I heard Terry
Bramall speak to the fans about anything . So It will interesting to here is voice NOW! Or are we not important enough to hear our NEW Masters voice.

Does Roman Abromovich?

Not much of a comparison. Last thing we want to see as owner is owt like creepy Dr Strangelove and his dodgy billions.

Obviously the decision to buy into the Dons was not Jr's decision so who was making these calls

In all likelihood the chief exec may have the power to do that. Or it comes from majority decision on the board perhaps?

It wasn't a comparison, I could quote Liverpool. Tottenham. Arsenal, Everton, Man City/Utd etc... their owners don't make public statements they employ others to do so.

John Ryan lives and breathes Doncaster Rovers and he's a maverick, a dreamer.

I remember hearing TB in the pre season meeting. He said they would never do anything to jeopardise the longterm future of the club.

Like refusing to put anymore money into the club whilst a certain manager was at the helm? Yeah right!!!!

I posted a few days ago, with a list of what our squad was in 10/11, a season in which we ended up with a £7.5m wage bill. We had one player in the entire squad who anyone was prepared to pay money to take off our hands. We had others who we would have given away 12 months later, but we were paying them so much that no other club would take them.

Perhaps Bramall had a point? Give that the previous experience of living the dream would have bankrupted the club if Bramall hadn't been underwriting things, perhaps he's right to question Ryan's judgement on SC?

[Mr1Croft]

Guys, we have several threads running on this subject now and while we're happy for a debate can we all try to make sure they don't simultaneously go round in circles?

They know enough to leave it in the hands of a very good CEO.
