sturgeon220 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Without new money the only changes will be to replace what is gone. I wonder if there is someone coming in with enough money to get a seat on the board BUT not to take over. Or mabe a whole new board with the Majority Shareholders stepping down and "Proper" football people running the show? I await developments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Next door to Boyer 2 Posted May 12, 2009 [quote user="Smudger"]Zippedy dooh dah, zippedy day... my oh my... [:D]hahaha loved their ass licking last paragraph in their joint statement... [+o(]The monkeys have gone... Lets keep the pressure up... Now for the organ grinders!!!![/quote]Its a bit arrogant to assume the angry ramblings on the message board had anything to do with ''pressure'' being applied to Munby and Doncaster stepping down.Bleedin obvious they were going to go... no doubt in the last week they''ve come to acknowledge their failings and they know that the club needs change and in particular someone/group with relevant experience needs to take the club on from here. They''ve simply tried and failed. As a result they have no option but to step down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glutton for Punishment 0 Posted May 12, 2009 They won''t be missed. Get ready for Doncaster mk II if DS is going to choose! Hopefully this opens the way for new ownership with their own executive team. I just hope that it all happens quickly so we can get a proper manager and prepare for next season.

Binky 0 Posted May 12, 2009 There is absolutely no guarantee that a better CEO than Doncaster will or can be recruited - or if one can be, that he will fare any better given the cash crisis facing the club. But his departure was essential IMO to signal to all that the club means to start afresh. If you are expecting miracles - that will come only when new investment is secured. Could be a long wait.

Harleston Canary 0 Posted May 12, 2009 As a few people have written - the rest of the board can''t go unless they are bought out - or do people want them simply to leave and take their money with them, thus spelling the end of the club? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
