We were promised at the start of the season by Baldwin that we would be challenging for promotion under Dickov, what has happened to that promise? If Dickov goes, shouldn't Baldwin go with him?
No, it ain't his fault they don't want to spend

Do you feel the club in a position to repeat the success of 2012/13?Absolutely, we’re in a far better position both on and off the field than we were two years ago when we were last relegated. Commercially we have sold more season tickets than this time last year and the year before that, our club sponsors and stadium stand sponsors are already signed up for next season and the stadium is operating at a profit, which will be invested back into the first team budget.Read more at http://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-the-future-1527847.aspx#FLglX3QlZaXtJZj8.99So has anyone any idea how much has been invested back into the first team budget?
In fairness, and I don't mean this as defence or criticism of all that, that statement was made before the magical release clauses kicked in.With Quinn, Husband, Brown, Duffy and Cotteril still on the books at the time you'd have cause for being optimistic.
Sorry Les, but GB is a very good CEO. If you wish to remove him for what somebody else has or hasn't managed to achieve then I can't support that. We could always get Diamond Dave back!

Not good leadership from the top at all IMO
Les,A lot of water has gone under that bridge since the 4th May. Supporters have been willing to give the manager the benefit of the doubt by realising that some things have been beyond his control, doesn't the same apply to the CEO? His ability to change things on the pitch will be very limited, but knowing him as I do I think he'll be working his socks off to make sure that these things are turned around. Furthermore shouldn't we be judging him at the end of the season?As for the performances off the pitch the club has never been in better hands. The staff performances in all Rovers departments gets better and better. Some people won't realise how well we perform in these other areas, areas that are vital for a club to perform well. I was chatting with the ex CEO of Barnsley and Scunthorpe yesterday and he drew the parallels for me with regard to some of these issues. Commercial performance for example. If you take a look at how we outperform virtually all clubs within this league and the one above on that one operation alone. The ability of the club to listen and make changes for the benefit of supporters is pretty much unique in this game. The problem we have at our club is that everybody's prepared to see the worst in the club rather than acknowledge the best, people assume, because its us, that it must be crap.I think you should have faith in the club to do the right things when necessary. And believe me I'll be the first to challenge them if they don't, but under GB's leadership I think we'll be fine at the end of the day. Lets not decide that people should leave the club based on some kind of criteria or parallels that don't apply here.
Does he ever?
I forget that seeing the obvious isn't one of your strengths.Do you ever have any facts and figures, preferably ones that are publicly verifiable, to back up your claims?
