Quote from: big fat yorkshire pudding on June 05, 2014, 02:28:46 pmLet's hope the individuals can justify their comments eh? I'd like to know what I 'cheated' at to get on the VSC board.Anyhow, it's perfectly fine for people to say these things, it goes over my head. I think it's far more important that we do things that benefit the football club and the charities we work with than care for things such as this, it's a little sad.Explain how co-opting works, Andrew.

The board currently has one co-opted member who is doing that and bringing many benefits. It's a very good thing, I'm not sure how that's "cheating".
How strange, some folks' priorities. And you reckon it is ME that is all ego, eh spadger?

Do you agree with Wesley that the primary thing coming out of this is not the fantastic opportunities it opens up for the Rovers, but the settling of scores with VSC folk?I'm very excited for the imminent return of JR and further investment in the playing squad BST but I'm only human so I do derive a small amount of schadenfreude from it.Human nature, eh?

Paraphrasing TB?Aye, well, I'm not sure how else to sum up Wesley's comments. They are there for you to see. Not a mention of the effect that the takeover will have on the Rovers' prospects. Not one. And yet he states that it will be his finest day on the forum. How strange, some folks' priorities. And you reckon it is ME that is all ego, eh spadger?
Co-opted members of the board have to be ratified at the next AGM meaning that if members have any objections to that person being co-opted, they can air them and that person may not have their position ratified.
C) Literally everyone ever involved with a football club is so because they believe they'll see a financial gain from it somewhere.

And you reckon it is ME that is all ego, eh spadger?Well the primary gain is obvious to see, a footballing man, supporter and a man who laid the foundation for everything we have at the club returns - WITH more cash than he could afford. The primary gains are so obvious they are boring, theres no use everyone on here waffling endlessly about the boardroom business of the club because:A) It will make no difference to the outcomeB) Nobody knows anything about whats going on behind closed doorsC) Literally everyone ever involved with a football club is so because they believe they'll see a financial gain from it somewhere.I think after the last takeover debate and the JR vs The VSC (Battle of Bannockburn shall we call it?) everyone was rapid to jump on the bandwagon, to run their mouth's and slag off 'the enemy', to publicly insult the integrity of JR as both a businessman and Rovers fan. Most of you still are!Those who felt disenfranchised and misrepresented by the VSCs misjudged and outspoken stance ( in my opinion nothing short of a bitter 'retaliation' to being told to stop sticking their noses in) are entitled to bang the drum now, because they were chased away by a lot of the forum posters on here for believing in JR.

Directors are usually co-opted when their is a specific need for a specific resource/expertise, it would be detramental to the trust in some instances if that person had to wait until the AGM to join the board.I fail to see an issue with this, or how it is 'cheating', but y'know, each to their own.
Sad......I've got to be honest with you fella..Your obviously an intelligent guy even though I agree with very little you say but In a strange way I hope to come across you one day in the boozer as a few friendly pints and a good open debate would be quite enjoyable...;-)

Does "Literally everyone" include Ryan?Definitely.You must remember how football, as much as its our (and JRs) passion - it is still a business.I can't imagine the kind of money JRs lost to DRFC, and of course if you were to ask me would i have put that much in, chased (and funded) the dream like he did, the sensible man would say "Hell no!".But we're here because of his personal sacrifice, he's addicted to playing the roulette and he'll go down as the biggest and best roulette player in our history - even if he blows all his chips on it!
I have no idea....I'm assuming thats a rhetorical question?I am not THAT interested in the T/O detailings because of the ABC reasons stated above.
AS far as I remember he AGREED to sell his shares to SC. I don't remember him saying he had.As Below.http://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/doncaster-rovers/doncaster-rovers-sequentia-capital-not-interested-without-john-ryan-1-6256023
