A little birdy has just told me......

[johnny rovers]

.......that Dick Watson refused to back the club anymore at last nights board meeting until SOD was sacked ( source, he works for radio Sheffield)

Well Dicky boy, you've got what you wanted now, so go out and get us a new goalkeeper because the two we have are quite simply not good enough, woods wouldn't have got in our team in the conference!!!:angry: :angry:

[Popeye]

I heard a similar rumour this morning.
 When i saw what Claire Ryan had to say i thought JR was going too.
Watson never did like SOD so maybe its time for him to splash some cash..

Three year contract for Dean Saunders at #drfc. John Ryan says decision on O'Driscoll came in meeting with vice president last night.

Seems to back up the OP!

Which raises the question, who really does control DRFC?

JR isn't in charge, he's not the majority shareholder, with that he can't expect to make the full decisions.  You can't expect others to put cash in and have no say...

Agreed.

And neither is Watson.  Who knows what sort of a deal was cut between him and JR last night?  Hopefully, it will involve a war chest for the new manager.

Ryan's the figurehead and spokesman.  Always has been.

In a way, he's a bit like the Queen. Theoretically in charge, but no real power.
