To be honest I think Keyes could aim higher than Fax, surprised none of the lower end SL clubs haven't offered him a chance. At the very least you'd expect him to be moving to one of the promotion challenging sides.

I think this thread should be renamed, So who is leaving/staying.

Genuinely feel sorry for you guys. I'm 43 years old and have been a supporter of Doncaster for most of that. We've had ups and downs but in all honesty have never been a "big" club as I'm sure you know. Bradford deserve better than this. We really shouldn't be signing players from you. Really hope you can sort this.

To be honest Peltier was no longer under contract so was free to sign with whoever. Given the Bulls we’re unable to offer him anything as things stand you cannot blame him for securing a deal. I’m just annoyed that the one thing that could not happen again has happened again. And that common link is the RFL who ultimately have chosen our owners each time. I’m not claiming the RFL have it in for us, I just think they’re also incompetent and should be shouldering some blame for this mess. It absolutely stinks.

Are we even going to be left with any player really feel for them at the moment. It must be such a hard decision to make as most with have families

"To be honest I would have thought the new, or at least potential, owners would have had some kind of meeting, or given the fact that some players are in the international series, some other communication with players? For god's sake it's 2019 not 1819 and you don't need to send messages via ship and carrier pigeon...."

John Kear has said there HAS been meetings betweeen the players/ staff and the prospective new owners.

It looks like unloading salary cap and selling any players we can get money for in order to save the 12 point deduction and hoping to finish in the Championship above relegation.

I was told Doncaster offered more money than us that was from his uncle that's a poor sign

Tbh Ross is an average Joe type player, lower league journeyman.
It shows how far we ve fallen when we are upset by losing him.
Don't get me wrong appears a great guy and gave his best whilst here

Would you stay with an employer that treated you like this?

I wouldn’t. Always enjoyed seeing Peltier play and he gave his best.

I reckon he’ll be really good for Doncaster.

Yeah course they did Doncaster offered him a real contract paying real terms. We offered him fresh air and good intentions along with a promise to make pension contributions that haven’t been made for 3 years.

It probably shows we have a budget and we are sticking to it. At least we are offering contacts.

Im not sure how Bradford could be offering contracts. It can't be a legally binding document when there is no way the RFL are going to sanction it so no player in their right mind would be talking to Bradford about re-neweing their contracts.

... and the masses complain that we are negative and scurrilous, and allege that we don't want the new consortium (assuming they do ever step in) to succeed.

You appear to be of a similar ilk Greg, and in all likelihood you are merely being realistic mate.

For the record we maintain that CB is a good bloke and a proven numbers man, but is we fear likely to prove to be the right man for the wrong job.

That’s what I said. We’re still in special measures so aren’t able offer anybody anything.
