All that was wanted was the team to shed its player budget, and invoke the get out clauses of those who do not want to pay in league 1, by giving the free transfers ( watch this pace ) and save the Roves having to pay them until they leave anyway and stop them restricting Rovers from getting new cheaper players in . DO YOU GET IT YET ? HIS MONEY ...HIS f***ING RULES. IDIOT I. MAY BE ..BUT PROVE ME WRONG .. OK, its called Employment Law - go read up on it and then come back with a proper argument. Oh and have a few English lessons whilst you are at it.I dont blame anyone for anything btw. Teams go up/teams go down, thats football. We have had three more seasons in the Championship than I ever though we would have (OK four more than I ever thought we would have) and if we never play here again, John Ryan I thank you.Bring on the Yeovil, welcome old friends.

I love John Ryan as the much as the next man, and he will always be remembered as the man who saved my club.But Caesar was seen to have saved Rome and Adolf Hitler was seen to have saved Germany, it was through this attitude of making somebody truly untouchable that lead to the eventual fall of the Roman Empire and WW2.Now I am in now uncertain terms comparing John Ryan to a dictator here, that would be foolish of me to say anything like that about the man who gave me back my club. The point I am putting across is do we want a world where we can never criticize one man, despite his actions because of what he has done in the past? We should be able to live in a world where we are able to freely challenge a business that we are a loyal customer of. This has been at the front-running of the divide amongst the fans this seasons. Most have not been fully behind what has happened this season. Some believe that JR has got it wrong and other refuse to accept that John Ryan would dare attempt to do this to his beloved Doncaster Rovers and his hands were forced. Whichever way you look at it hardly anyone truly believed in what we were doing was the right way about it, but people would rather think that John Ryan had no say in the matter rather than accept that John Ryan was behind this strategy. What does that say about the strategy overall?I don't agree with the OP, but I do think John Ryan along with the rest of the board, the players and the coaching staff will share the blame collectively. I would have written Dean Saunders as well but I have a funny feeling it isn't his fault. Yes John Ryan is the savior and probably the greatest Chairman in England and possibly the world; but that doesn't mean we have to blindly accept everything he or the club says or does. I want to remember him as a hero and not the man who destroyed everything he worked so hard to build.That said...ONE JOHN RYAN!!!!
So you are saying we can criticize him but we shouldn't?The man is not perfect (he is pretty damn close), if no one is going to tell him he is wrong how does he ever learn?What happens if he develops a mental disorder (unknown by us all) and the fans dare not speak against any of his decisions?What happens to DRFC when JR does leave? The man isn't going to live for ever and he looks to have aged a lot in the past year. What happens then?

There is a big difference between a loyal customer of a busiiness that makes money out its customers and a business where one or more people has invests and loses millions of their own money for the customer's enjoyment.John Ryan, Dick Watson and Terry Bramhall all fall in the latter. They have put £15 million of their own money into the club, so that we can have 4 years in the Championship. For anyone to criticise, when they are not putting their own savings into the club, doesn't feel right to me.
Nobody on this forum is going to blame JR as much as he will be blaming himself, why do you think he has invited criticism to be aimed at himself rather than DS, McKay or the players in his interview. The saving grace for JR and for all of us is that he is not running away, which a lot of Chairmen might have done in football, he is going to take it on the chin and come back for more next season and try to fix this. That is why we support him and this club, we don't give in, we are Rovers!
Doncaster Public ?
Come off it Norfolk that argument is stale, fact is we had a great product that for the most part 280k neither knew about, could afford or could be bothered with. You can't change history overnight even when you are making it. We never got our Media , Ticketing policies, Advertising right from the start and were still trying to do that at a Conference level of competence despite the £millions going into the club. We persisted with 'Diamond' Dave and allowed the Keepmoat (SMC) to call the shots despite the problems this caused for all parties.This should have been resolved by at least the 2nd. season. If there was just something I would find as a weakness it was this unattended area of our business and I would have expected more from all the professional businessmen running our club for the good of all.
