Why is there no official statement on the Donny website?????

We only have a few lines in the local paper, which can't be considered reliable!!!!

[Nudga]

Dude, it's 7.30,the news only broke late afternoon yesterday.

I would expect an official statement sometime after nine o'clock.

[Herbert Anchovy]

He’s not going to Hull City. It’s unsubstantiated guess work by a bookie. Rovers have said there’s been absolutely no approach.  There’s nothing at all to back this up. Hull are being connected with loads of Managers, from the guy at Hibs to Sol Campbell to Gary Monk.

Stop panicking

Besides, Hull City won’t recruit any manager where they’d be required to pay compensation.

Christ, it’s nice to see the English mantra of ‘Keep Calm & Carry On’ has bypassed Donny.

[VivaRovers]

Do you honestly think  EXPERIENCE is worth more than all the values and commitment Copps has shown to our club .

Yes. I've been committed to Rovers longer than Copps and I'd be an awful manager.

To be honest HH even i panicked a bit when i saw the ‘odds on’ being quoted on McCann.
Question is bookies don’t drop too many clangers do they. Where are these odds coming from?
Either someone has put a huge amount on him or they are being passed false info.
What could another reason be other than he has actually gone for an interview.
Please tell me i have got it wrong on that last sentence.

McCann was ‘unavailable’ for his usual press conference with the DFP yesterday and the Hulls owners have said they are willing to pay comp.

I would be flabbergasted if he was even remotely interested in the Hull job to be honest.
Club in decline under current owners. Attendances in free fall. Etc etc.
I think he is on a work in progress at DRFC and can’t see him going anywhere at all unless a “Good Club” ( well run club) like Rovers come in for him and make an offer he simply can’t turn down.
I don’t usually panic but those odds i saw this morning did make me sit up a bit.
I do think the bookies may have got some poor info on this one.
Hopefully we get a statement from GM refuting the speculation today.

Same here. I had a worry at first when I saw the odds. Then after looking into it a bit I realised there’s nothing substantial in it except somebody, somewhere has had a big wager!

The facts are:
Rovers have had no contact
We’ve warned Hull off
Plenty of other Managers are also being linked
It even caught out the press in Hull that his name was put forward
As you rightly say, Hull are a club with big problems. The fact Nigel Adkins left after he’d been touting himself for the Hull job for years tells you the club is terribly run
There’s plenty of reasons to stay at the Rovers

So, based purely on the facts there’s no reason to think he’s going so let’s not worry until we know more. (If there is more to know)
Stranger things have happened though

DFP confirming he was unavailable for their usual press conference on Tuesday.

[Ldr]

It says call not conference, that suggests phone call to me, maybe he was busy with an incoming player?

Could be anything. It seems weird that he was unavailable (which I would imagine would be in the day) and then it comes out in the evening that he is a strong favourite for the Hull job.

As I say, Thursday is normal press conference day.

Having spoken to the club several times this week it's obvious that everybody is extremely busy and beavering away. Let them get on with it.

[Move DRFC]

Just me who doesn't see the point in discussing stuff like this, where he might have been yesterday instead of press conference, why he might be fav etc etc. What will be will be! Let's just see what happens. I think he'll stay, but what can we do.

[RobTheRover]

Agreed, Move

One day, he wont be here.

That is certain.

Not too busy to talk to you 'several times' though SM.
When they are 'beavering away' as you put it why don't you let them get on with it as well?

Luke Thornhill, Media manager for the club, responded to me on Twitter with this regarding McCann being unavailable today:

"Grant didn’t do his chat on Tues so we could avoid news stories other than our signings this week. Should have the first confirmed today after concluding paperwork. No conspiracy."

all it says is that they didn't want the story of McCann leaving to get in the way of the story of the new signings.....................

Not sure I said you had rung them either.
So who's the Coco?
It was intended as a light-hearted remark, but you've instantly bitten as usual.
Don't worry I do realise they are constantly in touch with you, which is only right as you are very important.

Which fans?

[Bessie Red]

Most sensible grounded Rovers fans

[scawsby steve]

All the work Martin does for DRFC and the FSF is completely voluntary. I think that is admirable.

And the rest don't matter?

I like plural when it comes to signings, just hope the ink doesn’t run out to soon!
