Some folks need to get a grip. Remember who we're talking about here. I have absolute faith in Copps.
IMO Fantastic appointment, Absolutely committed to Doncaster Rovers, wants success here, knows what good footballers look like and great appreciation of tactics. Couldn’t think of anyone better for the position. Good luck Copps.
He has no idea experience or net work to put from .

I have absolute faith in Copps.Just because he was a wizard on the ball doesn’t mean he’s going to be a success with anything he turns his hand to. On paper it’s very clear why this appointment is raising eyebrows. We don’t need someone that knows and understands the club; we need someone that knows and understands how to turn it into a much better operation than the pantomime that it’s become.That’s not to say he shouldn’t be given a chance by the fans given he’s got the job now but you can see why people would question the appointment.
Quote from: Copps is Magic on April 22, 2022, 07:37:00 pmThat was 10 years ago Normal Rules. You don't think people evolve a bit? Develop? Mature?Not in my experience. No. Gambling. Dishonesty. Fraud. Bribery. Corruption. Greed. They are very difficult behavioural traits to shake. People get older and wiser yes. But that just makes their behaviour more complex. And perhaps harder to spot, if not impossible.A perfect opportunity has arisen here. Or was it engineered? A gamble for him too. But we know he likes a gamble. Especially if the dice is loaded. A senior management position in a football league club? From little or no management background. Little or No business acumen. Money, power, influence.The rest you know.All just opinion of course.

We don’t even know the level of applicants - how can we say he was the best man?He may well have been the stand out candidate from those that were interviewed, but if we never had a significant applicant, then…….!Nobody is disrespecting Copps, he has been a phenomena for our Club and there’s far too many good memories of him as a player to be tainted by whatever happens next. I hope he succeeds in his new role, but that will depend on some things beyond his control and that is how the Board backs him. The spotlight is truly on that one thing, now!The one thing that bugs me is what the Chairman said about why he was the outstanding candidate, in that he demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the Club ……. and that wasn’t even a requirement in the job description. So, did they ever want to give it to an ‘outsider’?

Completely understand questioning the appointment. What pisses me off is the default negativity of some posters before the man has even started in his new role. It’s unbelievable, as Copps would say.

One of his first jobs must be to sack Graham Younger. Then go from there.

Copps is the only active Director of Promindset Limited and appears to be the sole owner of the business. He is also a Director of Zenic Group Limited, involved in acquiring SME businesses and My 1st Football Boots Limited, which retails children's football boots.
