Will people stop the obsession with ex players

[phil old leake]

Can some people pleeeaassse stop the “He was a good player and he played for DRFC so he must be a good candidate for the managers job”
. Why not ask Peter Kitchen or John Oster. It’s absolute nonsense

[grayx]

Yep, fair point... just like the S’OD obsession.

People like the familiar and it's easy to have knowledge of doncaster players etc than people we've never seen. However i agree been a former player shouldn't have any baring on the appointment

The difference is SOD has a proven record as a good manager as opposed to some of the names mentioned such as Stock,Wellens etc

I think SO'D would make a good director of football were the club to go with a recently retired ex-player with minimal experience.  Can't see it happening tho as the board will want someone with decent experience.

Adkins could be a good shout.

You won’t be saying this when Wellens gets offered the job....

Won’t be saying what?

[Chris Black come back]

Adkins has spent the last decade managing in the Premier League and Championship. It is extremely unlikely he will want to return to League One with a club that will have to work hard for promotion. Less than 5pc chance of him coming here folks.

It's the vsc forum. We've only just moved on from Keshi Anderson!
