Does anyone know why the books aren’t as visible as they used to be? Be interesting read on how weve managed to become self sustainable.

How does that work? It will only point out that Club Doncaster managed to increase the income stream by off-field activity, which is exactly what has been detailed, quite adequately and succinctly, in the New Year statement.

He was more interested in spending other people's money than in getting the club into a position to earn it itself.So he never dug deep ? Just spent others No, he put money in. Are you saying he didn't spend other peoples' money?I bet he put more of his personal wealth in than Bramall. Perspective

The club is run very well there is no doubt about it, but most fans want to see there team do well, it’s rare you hear Man City, Liverpool fans etc moaning they have spent 50 million on a player, how long will the club be able to run without losing money if things don’t improve on the pitch?

You see, this is when things get all toxic and the division of fans comes to the fore and it's so unnecessary. What the club achieved under JRs leadership from a standing start to the Championship was exceptional. It wasn't the norm. It's a once in a lifetime period. We were privileged to be part of that journey that not many clubs can boast. However, some seem to cling to this period as if it was the norm. To judge TB, DW, DB, GB etc against that benchmark is unfair. TB and DW played a massive part in that journey too. So many factors worked in our favour. Two managers worked wonders with players who more often than not did what it said on the tin. Dave Penney and Sean O'Driscoll. One unproven and the other proven at our level. We had slices of luck too. We also had the optimism that the new stadium brought and people, fans, managers and players all bought into that. We rode the crest of the wave until....we woke up after the dream became a reality. Things have moved on in football now as we know, so getting anywhere near those heights is probably beyond what JR, TB & DW could achieve in todays climate as it's not sustainable. It wasn't sustainable then hence why JR is no longer on board.I understand why people say, so where's the ambition. Ambition doesn't have to be in transfer fees and unsustainable wages, it can be in trying to put all those things together that gave Dave Penney and Sean O'Driscoll a chance. Getting value for money out of the players on the pitch irrespective of how they got here.
We don't know how much money Wellens has been given at Leyton Orient, in a lower league than where he was managing with us. What we do know is that he made a number of poor signings as our manager.

What can you see that we can't?Your support for this board is bordering on obsessive now.Is the club in safe hands... yesDoes the club have ambition....no !! Just look at how it was run last season.
I'm not sure we can be a Championship side for a couple of consecutive seasons as we were under SOD under the current model. That's fine with me. Getting back into League One and being competitive there is a good objective. It's a decent league and were are more often than not going to see Barnsley and Rotherham United in there, along with a few former Premier League sides. The game seems to have moved on quite a bit since 2008 and even the millions we spent then wouldn't now seem to buy us much of a chance of getting there and staying there. Such is life. We just can't be in League Two for much longer. It's a bit shit if we are all honest.
Not bad reading , but shows we are no longer just a football club
I can see something about no eye deer that he can't see.
