As John Ryan says in the dfp. The club needs a top to bottom shake up. I said it at the time, but the appointment of JC I believe was a cameo attempt at placating the fans into thinking real change was soon the horizon. Unless I’m missing something, nothing has changed since he arrived. I know to many this will be controversial, but his appointment is wasted money imo. Jobs for the boys. Which I suspect was engineered by himself, for himself. Abject performances. Inconsistency. No obvious leadership on and off the pitch. No clear playing style. A loss of identity and reputation as a football playing team.A loss of support.I’ll be going to the Orient game fully expecting rovers to be given a footballing lesson. Happy to be proved wrong.

The reason the board appointed a Head of Football, somebody else to take the flack instead of themselves. There is no ambition to have a successful football club at Rovers with the current owners, which is why we lost MCCann, Whiteman, Kane, et al, and why we will lose Faulkner and Miller sooner rather then later.
Quote from: danumdon on December 27, 2022, 12:31:18 pmUnfortunately (or fortunately depending on your view) we have as club owners and directors who we have, it's not going to change anytime soon. I think many on this board have an inkling that the issue is at the level just below the owner, but TB is not going to make any changes there because of fan pressure.So pointless even speculating.It looks like the people on the professional footballing side need to make the difference, so we are talking JC and DS, to me it looks like DS is carrying out the remit he was tasked to produce ie, an attractive football playing side to play attacking football but he has major issues with the personnel, if they can't or won't conform to the managements program then it's pretty obvious what needs to happen.JC and DS are not going to produce all the extra loaves and fish to satisfy us as things stand, they need their own players and that will require more than this window.Its a massively disheartening watch just now, that performance yesterday was abject but we all know what's required.Will the majority of the fanbase give them the time they need? surly its only right to give them the tools to perform the task in hand.I also think its a big ask to expect DS to temper his playing setup to conform to the players he has, that way only leads to players being allowed to wallow in their comfort zones with no overall team progression, if the principle is correct and the outcome can be produced (a la SOD) then its imperative that he holds his nerve and sticks to his playing plan. Sometimes you have to take some steps back to be able to make the big leap forward.The breakdown in that argument, DD, is attendances. Supporters are already staying away, and unless things drastically improve, the stadium will be almost empty, which will be disastrous for the club.The one thing Rovers don't have is time.

How did Whitemen and Marquis both stay and extend their contracts? Kane wasn't ours btw.
I think it's easier to answer why we find ourselves in the position we're in rather than try and figure out how we get out of this mess, and you have to put that down to those running the club.All the recent managerial appointments we've made have been internal candidates or external unknown quantities. They weren't the easy options - they were the cheap options.I certainly don't fall for the guff about "one of the largest budgets in the league" or "we'd pay the manager a high wage regardless of who we hired". It's gaslighting by the board pure and simple, and unfortunately plenty of fans are happy to listen and believe those comments despite evidence to the contrary.Would getting new owners in solve the issue? Depends who you brought in and how ambitious they'd be. The answer is - probably not. Doncaster isn't a Southern club which seem to be the clubs attracting foreign investors - unless you're a Northern club with a previous Premier League pedigree.We don't get enough fans in ground even when we're doing well, so gates are always below par. That puts off investment. Remember John Ryan's constant rallying cries when we were in the Championship?So you need a local investor(s) who is a lifelong Rovers fan and isn't bothered about losing money. I don't see that person or persons coming frankly.

What he says to the press and what he really thinks are probably two very different things.

Like most of us here I am horrified by the slide down the slippery slope and the apathy that has allowed it to happen. I believe the answer would be to find enthusiastic and wealthy new owners who are hardcore DRFC supporters to boot. Unfortunately they are not queuing up. I also acknowledge that the current owners have given their time, expertise and money in the past and that there are a lot worse out there.

The issue is clearly based around the playing squad and the work done at Cantley Park, its that that needs addressing. This can't be fixed overnight, but I'm hoping for a good transfer window to at least put us on the right track again.

Agree with the above. Whenever SM joins in the discussions it's 100% backing the current board and ownership. (This isn't meant to belittle his support or work for the club) and I do see a comment from him about the work done on training ground here which leads me to conclude that upper management are from impressed with what they have seen from our latest coaching set up.

I’d expect, no, demand to see a proven goal scorer in the next window. Look back to the lge two promotion of 16/17. Marquis got 26 goals for rovers. We are no where near having a regular onion bag finder with the current crop.Defensively, rovers only lost 11 games all that season. They have already lost 9 so far this time around.Interestingly, a certain Leyton Orient got relegated that season.

We are not getting anyone near him to be able to create the chances which he would put away. He needs help from others in the team
The board took the decision in 2016 to stop disclosing our expenditure on wages and salaries. I don’t see why there couldn’t be some form of truncated annual report made public specifically related to Rovers and only on key metrics, income and expenditure. Pretty much every league club makes this information public in their annual accounts filed with Companies House. We don’t, and I don’t think the Club Doncaster argument really washes. What’s the issue with making a one sheet disclosure public?
It isn’t going right on the pitch, that is why we are all questioning what is going on. Nobody would care about the budget if we were top of the league. The managers we’ve had any players current and recent past haven’t performed well enough. We mention formations all the time, but if you can’t get seven or eight of the team performing to a good standard game after game, you will struggle, any team would.A simplicity needs to come back into our game. Forget trying to be the most entertaining, trying to get players doing what they aren’t capable of. Look to get shots on target early on in games. Take the game to the opposition. Stop fearing what the other side are capable of. Play players in their best positions. Quick passing, move the ball on, nobody runs quicker than the ball. Put crosses into the box, forget that extra pass sideways. Players need to stop passing the buck. Get on the ball and be the difference, don’t rely on your mate at the side of you to do it. They are doing a job that many of us would love to be doing. Enjoy it and get some games won!.
