Good clear interview with emphasis on the process and how we need to be patient.

Says the head coach comment is a bit of a red herring and we won't be looking for a DOF just yet, but it's a path they want to take eventually.

We've already got some impressive people throwing their hat into the ring, which is good, and they are not ruling out Davies and Pearson if they get off to a flier, so sounds like it will be a while before we know anything for sure.

A good interview to steady the ship. I think he mentioned 2 weeks or thereabouts so it'll be Morecambe at home or FGR away before the new man takes over.

He made positive statements and believed in the quality of the squad. Time will tell and a comprehensive victory at Slough will give Davies and Pearson a chance to claim the hot seat.

Boy oh boy you all seem to be viewing the present leader through very heavy "rose coloured specs"...
I for one am not impressed and i believe the process he is talking about will take a month or more,  meanwhile while Nero fiddles, Rome burns....

Oh well, as the wife often tells me, I was completely wrong!



although a massive fan of 1878 I can see where you're coming from. Have to say I was disappointed in that -hoped they'd go down the sporting director route and also thought they'd have been far more pro active. One could argue it's the Fenty approach, with  a bit of expert outside help.

Hopefully the interview was a bit of a smokescreen and they're actually much further down the track.

Does beg the question as to whether we will actually end up with another old name off the managerial merry go round

Nobody at the club will tell us exactly when the decision to sack PH was made, but it was clear that Doncaster was the last chance saloon for PH. JS intimated that they had looked at the dour results for a while, so Saturday was not a knee jerk solution. Whatsmore 2 very astute successful businessmen will already have formed some ideas about what they want a new manager to do, and possibly a list of targets. Today not only out of work managers are considered but those, and there assistants who are in work.
