Quote Quote from: Alan Southstand on May 11, 2021, 06:36:05 pmI would think a ‘left field’ appointment is the last thing we need, considering what we’ve witnessed over the last few months! He may well have impressed everyone during his interview, but it’s hardly going to be something that the players can identify with.And, we have to attract some serious quality to the Club if we’re to have any chance of competing at all next season!What absolute nonsense Alan.Without any knowledge whatsoever you've managed to pull out a negative!And yet, since I posted that, a couple of other posters have commented along similar lines, without any response from you!I find that very strange.At the end of the day, SM, it’s my opinion and you either take it or leave it. My post may have come over to you in the wrong way, but just by saying it’s nonsense doesn’t make your opinion correct. If you havn’t realised it yet, there’s quite a few (on the outside) really hurting and that doesn’t mean to say that people on the inside aren’t hurting either, but a little bit of understanding might not be a bad thing!I clearly stated why I thought a ‘left field’ appointment was not what we needed, and that’s been muted by others, so perhaps it would be interesting to read why you think it would be good thing for DRFC, all things considered.

I don't have a lot of good to say about Rovers right now, but thanks SoundbiteBarmyArmy for your post and the first feeling of light I can see at the end of a very dark tunnel. And no, I don't want Wellens as manager. He was a good player but had a chip on his shoulder and I don't want to see that again at Doncaster. He always felt he should be playing with his buddies at Man Utd and had been badly treated. I was glad to see him go even as a player. I have no intention of entering into yet another argument on this site. It is my opinion, end of.

It'd be good to understand why people think he'll be the right manWon league 2 title with Swindon despite lack of experience. Got his two strikers scoring for fun. Won JPT with Salford. Plays an attractive brand of football. Only young so should get better. Speaks his mind so will be fun to watch interviews again after the dross Moore came out with... and he's a club legend. I'm sure what's not to like to be honest.

He ticks all the boxes, he's the obvious man for the job. But we're going to be "different" aren't we? Doing it the Rovers way, the hard way.I'm now suffering for pessimism overload
Played for Ireland though, which I think is what CBCB was referring to.

I doubt you'd have a opinion so strong If Wellens even had a chance of getting the job.

He does a great job.I'd be extremely surprised If he get's the job following these comments- But I hope I am wrong.

Things I'm not really at liberty to discuss.But I'm not doing the interviewing, the club are, so it's for the club to decide if he's the right man for the job.
the board hate Anderson and want rid."
I do sympathise with SM. He can't make comments without people seeing them as what the board believe.SM :- "Anderson is crap"Someone on here :- "OMG the board hate Anderson and want rid."
Re: Wellens. I’d say the (arguably) the best player in the best team we have had for an exceptionally long time (possibly ever) deserves some kind of legendary status. The fact he may be abrasive and say things people may not want to hear isn’t necessarily a terrible thing. This is elite sport not comfort zone P.E lesson which is the impression I sometimes get from the clubs mentality. Contrary to what some may think we are not making any real progress on the football side. Winning awards because players go and pat some school kids on the head is all well and good but we need a manager to drag us forward kicking and screaming. I think Wellens is capable of that, as I’m sure the other two candidates are. Not choosing someone because they may rock the boat and could potentially be too demanding and hard to manage would be madness.
