So then board lovers??

[acko]

Tell me Dearne were I am wrong and at the same time tell me why the belles are not listed alongside the Rovers and Dons on the club Doncaster list

[Yorkiered]

We have not fallen foul of ffp money is there, DF wanted to sign players he had lined up in January and not loans or youth signings but our beloved chairman decided not to let him even though we have the funds.

The chairman is only a puppet for the owners though.

[Al4475]

Not quite YR - the Chairman runs the board and has the final say which is the way it's been the same at DRFC for many a year!

And at countless other clubs too!

Surely it shouldn't have to be the case tho?

[roversdude]

FFS all these people who know so much about the running of the club but only come on here when we are having a hiccup
What do you think would happen if they decided to stop filling in the gaps
Maybe JR could ride in on a white steed (or at least one painted white) and try a bucket collection or some other fundraiser
Maybe he could get some hedge fund involved or auction off Melinda Messengers implants because he sure as hell cant afford to buy/run the club

[raggytash]

Last 2 year a hiccup??

Actually the people who think they know so much about the running of the club have been around for a long time.
If you mean the people who are querying various aspects of the running of the club that is something different.

[roversdude]

JR didn't help with one of those years

[Yorkiered]

JR didn't help with one of those years

Want to explain that one?

[MrFrost]

Can I put this to bed, if you want someone to blame throw it at our chairman who is refusing to give DF the funds our owners have provided and the money he saved from moving players on. I said there was a stumbling block so now you know. As to why he's doing it, I haven't a clue.

Interesting

There are no potential investors out there so without the owners money we would be in far more trouble than the league position we are in now, as for blame I think it's been done to death by both sides of the fence and does no good stirring it up again which you appear to want to do. I do blame the board for not sacking Dickov well before they did, that mistake is theirs. As for the Belles not being listed ask Club Doncaster why.

I'm sure bramall and Watson would have something to say to blunt if he was blocking Ferguson spend their money,
He might have final say on many things but I'm not sure he'll have the final say on how to spend the km2s money

[Nudga]

Does this fit in with the failed signing of the lad from Ilkeston

[roversdude]

Weren't one of pre seasons screwed up by someone pretending they had money

[PDX_Rover]

Make that two preseasons.

[DonnyOsmond]

So we're in great form and have a chance of reaching the playoffs and Blunt stops us from strengthening to help us push forward? He should receive a lot of blame for this collapse if true and should go if we get relegated.

[Yorkiered]

Make that two preseasons.

No doubt you will still be blaming John Ryan in 5 years time 
Give it a rest.

Actually no, I can tell you one of them isn't happy but they have put him solely in charge, the funds are there he just won't for whatever reason allow Fergie to use them, if things are to change then our chairman either needs to see the light or step down.

More than likely Chris

Can't the other board members vote him out of his position?

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Exactly.  If he is a problem and I've no idea about the guy then clearly they need to take control.

Do we really think Ferguson will still be here if he's given no funds?

[acko]

wasn't a case of JR pretending he as money,because lets face it hes not short of a few bob.Under the current regulations its hard for anybody taking over a club as Bolton are now finding.Didnt the same JR wipe off a few million owed to him by the rovers.Lets just face the real facts the best and exciting times at the rovers was when JR was involved with Bramhall and Watson,since his depature its been all downhill.

[DearneValleyRover]

acko your wrong again

I'm sure they can but given that they are working on the same principle as they did their business it seems unlikely

[DonnyOsmond]

They need to realise a football club isn't any normal business.

[dickos1]

Fergie praised the board last week for helping with signings, he wouldn't say that if he was unhappy

[DearneValleyRover]

He's not going to come out and slag them off dickos.

[drfc1951]

If this is true then someone needs to take it up with the owners.I dont know if the trust can do anything.

[Wild Rover]

Who makes up the "Board Of Directors" at DRFC.
I know major shareholders are Bramall Watson (are they directors?) and Blunt (though how major he is I don't know).
Blunt is Chairman, I assume Baldwin in his capacity , are "Board members" is there anyone else?.

[DonnyOsmond]

Blunt
Baldwin
Bramall
D Watson
A Watson
