I think there's outside investment and a new face on the board incoming.
Strong rumours going on social media that David Blunt is stepping down. If this was to happen what gaps would it leave? Thinking about it I think we are in an ideal position Gavin could step in as chairman and carry on the business side of the club with HOF Copps on the football side. I think maybe we are ideally set up already if our chairman does resign. We already have the pieces of the jigsaw ready to click.Thoughts?
He has to go. His position is untenable imho. He has presided over our worst run for 25 years, including over 65 league defeats in under 2.5 seasons, our lowest position in over 20 years, shocking recruitment of 4 managers who were poor, including 3 rookie managers and poor player recruitment including an absolute shambolic emd to a summer transfer window in 2021 which was unprecedented for us in 25 years. All this after publicly saying we would bounce back decisively. As bad I think is his credibility according to all the noises from ex managers and players saying there was massive spin requested from the top over budgets, noises coming from Dickov, Ferguson, Moore, McCann, Wellens.. 4 of 5 who went on to much better, and recently players like Knoyle. Players and managers would be thinking were unambitious which we have been. Who with any real worth or ability on the way up would want to come to work at Donny under the current model, both players and managers. Add to this the worn look of the stadium, poor quality kits and matchday programme, apathy around the stadium on a match day and the strategy of self inflicted sustainability and austerity the Board have recently confirmed they have imposed.Most Rovers fans also are aware of this now hence the significant decline in season ticket sales. The general Rovers fan base has finally woken up and smelt the proverbial coffee re Blunt and our leadership. Hence change at the very top is needed ASAP.

No way will TB want or need anyone else to come on the board. Let’s be polite, he doesn’t need investment does he?
Hmmm, so with blunt reportedly going nowhere and no outside investment coming in, then I wonder what the upcoming news could be ?

So no he doesn’t need anybody else to invest but does he still want to use his money to ensure there are sufficient funds to move us forward.
