    New Manager (Rumours and Suggestions)

    Retained list deadline is 3rd Saturday in May, so we’ve got a while yet. The news I was expecting last Monday was the retained list rather Clemence being sacked as Clemence said he’d already spoken to the players about their futures. I guess it may change now but I’m sure Kenny would have had...

    The Cost of Ruthlessness

    That’s true, but Brad said today how difficult it is to hire a manager midseason, suggesting perhaps clemence was never first choice for the role. I think that difficult process last time has counted against Clemence now as they feared they’d have to go through it again a few months into next...

    New Manager (Rumours and Suggestions)

    Could just be that he was interviewed today. There will be a select few working for the club who know who is being interviewed and when.

    New Manager (Rumours and Suggestions)

    Interesting that 3 were lined up to be interviewed as soon as the day after Clemence was sacked. Suggests the sacking was planned a bit in advance at least in order to arrange those interviews so quickly. Also you have to think about the human side of dismissing clemence. Brad refers to it as...

    The Official Doncaster Rovers Match Thread (Sponsored by Dunelm Mill "for all your final curtain needs")

    I thought the header was going in or at least going towards the 6 yard box and would only have need a touch from the on rushing Jefferies to make sure it crossed the line. I think they had 2 defenders back though which they would argue could have got to the ball first, I am surprised the red...

    Retained Lists L1 & L2

    Raggett would be a good replacement for Ehmer. I think if Clemence had stayed on Ehmer would have been offered another year, but who knows what happens now?

    Clemence Set Up To Fail

    No, I thought he was the wrong choice from the start. Stockdale came across as the more motivational type, with Clemence the tactician. It turns out that Clemence was likely only the third choice in the end anyway, after Maher and Lindsey, but changing the “head coach” mid season will always...

    Clemence Set Up To Fail

    He was appointed as a head coach, not a manager. Basically because we have already got a director for football and a head of recruitment, two people he was expected to work with. What’s surprised me is that those two haven’t been shown the door as well, as both have failed as equally as Clemence.
