One signing and people doubting his judgement already.Let's just wait a bit.To be fair he made 6 decent signings out of 13 last time. Not an amazing record.And so it begins….What?

If you were mcCann and you had a pot of money you’d definitely get a keeper in that you know who is cheap, you rate. Then you have more money available for the players you want that can effect further up the pitch. If we sign lawlor and end up with 5/6 signings we can’t believe we’ve pulled off rhen it’s money we’ll spent

He was awful for us, couldn’t get a game in the Scots champHe played a total of 13 games, so your mate can judge that he’s awful in them 13 games? I would have to give a player a lot more games before I could consider them to be awful, I remember his 1st game at the keepmoat, he pulled off some amazing saves and won us the match.

I don’t disagree campsall and I wasn’t suggesting otherwise, my point is mcCann rates lawlor and it’s a cheap signing leaving him with more in the pot to sign players who would be classed as marquee signings

He only left us in 2021. We had all seen him at our own club, including a season at this very level. We've seen him in action!

This is my abiding memory of him. 1 minute and 5 seconds in. https://youtu.be/bhPMVVVs-4UHe was not a good goalkeeper.

Some of the comments on here are unbelievable! Here was me thinking that our fans had the monopoly when it came to delusions of grandeur!! Right now your a piss poor League 2 side who were shocking for most of last season. The days of you holding your own in the Championship or challenging for the League 1 title are light years away. If you’re a professional footballer, Rovers are not an attractive proposition right now and your manager will have a tough job to convince decent players to come to you. Some of you need to be be more realistic with your expectations regarding signings. Good players will not be sat by their phones desperately waiting for a call from Donny Rovers. That said, if you can sign players who are better than those who you had last season then you’re heading in the right direction and from some comments on here, that sounds like the case in this instance. Coupled with the fact you’ve got a very good manager on board means you’ve every right to be optimistic for next season, but I think that you need to be more realistic about the players you’re going to attract.

We don’t care about your joke club now bugger off.
