Apologies, I only skim read through this looong thread.

[Dutch Uncle]

I just wondered may be the money differential is not as big as we might first think, and that Richie may be considering his options.

If Rovers offer is say 5K a week for 18 months that is ca 390K, plus regular first team football

If QPR are offering say 20K per week for 5 months, or say 22 weeks that would be 440K, and all at the highest tax rate

Just a thought

He's bound to get another club for next season, so he gets a shit load for half a season's work probably only end up only starting around 4/5 games then get's around 5k a week for the whole of next season

I don't know but I would suggest he is on more than £5k a week.

[newyankee]

 If money is the problem, I have the answer, get rid of Dickov and pals and make Wellens player manager.

[RedJ]

Don't be f**king ridiculous.

[newyankee]

We can't get any worse RedJ. We are a laughing stock, perhaps only second behind Aston Villa. At least Leeds have promotion to go for, we have nothing.

I'm surprised at you......I hope this is just a 'kneejerk' reaction ?

[newyankee]

Sorry to say this Steve, but I am falling in to the opposite camp to most on here. I am not advocating SC unless we cannot find another investor or investors.

However, my patience with " It's everyone else's fault Dickov", and our two absent owners, plus puppet Baldwin is growing very thin.

 I have a clear vision of the club  but it is getting cloudy very quickly.

The two absent owners were both at the game today. 

[newyankee]

 Thank God for that, maybe they now realize how bad things are!!!!!!

[Bentley Bullet]

Things aren't bad Newyankee, everybody's happy....... apart from the bell ends!

As bad as Barnsley or sheff u?
No didn't think so!

Paul has expressed a desire to keep Richie and the owners have backed him.  After long discussions with the player over a period of time we’ve offered Richie a contract, it’s fair to say that the length of the contract could be considered long term for a player of his age and beyond the usual length we offer to a player over 32.  We’re hopeful he will sign.  Richie keeps saying he wants to stay and we’ve offered a deal beyond our usual parameters, based purely on his performances this season and Paul’s regularly repeated his admiration of him, so ultimately everything we can do has been done

That last line seems to say to me they aren't confident he'll be staying.  Sadly.

[Spud]

Quite clear to me, the club have made their best offer for a player we'd like to keep. If he gets a better one he'll be off. Never mind football, that's life.

18:15 sky transfer window

Leeds and Queens Park Rangers have been linked with a move for Richie Wellens, whose short-term contract at Doncaster Rovers has expired. However, Doncaster are prepared to offer a deal 'beyond our usual parameters' in a bid to persuade the experienced midfielder to stay.

Does the word "proportion" mean anything to you.

We can't get any worse? A ROVERS fan can say that with feeling and a straight face halfway through our 5th season out of 6 in Tier 2?

I'll be honest. If I was Bramall reading this, I'd tell you to shove your club up your arse and see just how much worse it REALLY could get.

[IDM]

Where is the evidence of being a laughing stock?  We're punching above our weight in terms of size, budget and position, yet around half of our performances are extremely good.

Laughing stock? really?

[graingrover]

I have a feeling that Richie has got too much rovers in his blood  to go to Leeds .. and their fans are even more fickle and certainly 'nastier'  than ours .. as their reaction to the defeat by Rochadale showed.

[Sammy Chung was King]

If he goes,it's not great,but there are other players,Richie didn't invent being able to pass a ball,love him to stay but only if his hearts in it,because we face a lot of fighting football until the end of the season,every player in the team has to want to be here for us to stay up,because over the months most of them will get a chance,it's all about the eleven out there and the players who come on,you beat nobody with one player!!
