Quote from: Mike_F on March 22, 2023, 02:57:23 pmHe definitely said at the MTO event that he and Dick had each put in £12.5m. We know that they were equal contributors.If Andrew & Claire subsequently invested that money can't have been matched by Terry (otherwise he would've spent more than the £12.5m to match Dick) so no wonder they got fed up.In which case, the current owners have not invested/spent a penny for seven years. Ok I'm being a bit liberal with the best part of a decade as technically 70% is a significant majority but I'm not making things up here.What he said, and what actually happened are different. I should know, I've seen the accounts for all of the last 10 years and discuss things like this with the CEO.Firstly, he was being literal about them both putting in exactly the same, it was close but not exact as I believe TB put in slightly more.And secondly, when he talked about DW he actually meant the family, as I know that Andy carried on his fathers legacy after he'd gone. Either way, you're just using a casual comment made at the MTO to confirm whatever it is you want to pursue.And thirdly, if they hadn't put any money in for the last 7 years where did the funds come from to keep us in LG1 from 2017 to 2022? In those earlier years we didn't have Club Doncaster generating what it does today so what kept us afloat?

Can anyone really deny that we need more funds to be successful? It doesn't to me feel like we have a big enough budget at all.Second point to add to my previous, maybe (I'm very sceptical), Schofield could achieve with better players available. Are these managers suffering because they're being asked to play a style and identify that doesn't befit the budget? Ie with a smaller budget which we seemingly have shouldn't we get more physical players who suit the level we are playing at?
Who is currently available that is experienced and successful at this level?
As I understood it, Richie Wellens was given the manager's job with the remit to bring back the style of football that was our identity under SOD. Wellens said in frustration on one occasion that he was cutting his nose off to spite his face in team and tactics selection. This made me wonder if he meant he was finding it nigh on impossible to carry out that instruction on a much lower budget than SOD had, and is Schofield finding the task equally as impossible?

I think he has shown himself to be clueless tactically, unbelievably stubborn, arrogant, disingenuous and lacks motivational skills. Don’t trust him so to waste another years budget would be unbelievably reckless.

When you continually play short passes out to your full backs, teams will just press you straight away. You have to vary what you do. The element of surprise wins you games. We predictable and easy to play against.

Sack him now,don't let the rot set in anymore,his style did'nt work with Huddersfield in championship with their players either,get a manager who don't except lack of effort and usually gets the best out of players,there was a time I would not want him because he left us,but would love McCann back,doubt we could persuade him to drop to league two now or we are willing to pay what it would take,but I wish we would try our best.

You all must have at least someone in mind?
