I can’t see what more he can do my self , and bringing someone else in would make us weaker as a club . Who would no the club and have the experience and contacts Carl has in the game to put us in a better position than we are in now , the signing of the Albert brothers was bad luck really nothing he did wrong apart from maybe telling someone that’s posted it on here when he thought the deal was in the bag only to miss out at the last minute because Widnes s original target had died . If Carl was to leave we would be a lot worse off I think , with the fan base with have we are always going to struggle , in the past I think we over achieved on the back of 2 people tony miller and Päul cooke , 2 people that Carl Brought to the club . There isn’t that sort of talent knocking the door down to come to Doncaster every year to play in league one for very little money in front of 750 people, what would someone new do , not as good in my opinion

It’s been tried before by Miller and Harrison bought a team that got promoted the crowds went down and they were losing 7k a week

I thought DM was doing rather well until he got to 14 and 15.
Should have stopped at 13 although that might have been unlucky ...
lol

I started supporting the club when I was a teenager in the 1970s. We weren't very good then but it didn't stop me from becoming addicted to the game. Being part of the event is far more important to the kids than winning. If a kid is a Dons fan by the age of 8, they'll probably not defect to other clubs when they grow older. That's why you have to get them interested early.

I thought the five year plan was a good idea. It emphasized that we do have ambitions to get to the top league. The plan was fundamentally undermined by our relegation from the Championship. After finishing fourth in the Championship, the season before our relegation, things seemed to be going quite well under Paul Cooke and the ambitions of the five year plan seemed realistic. Once we got relegated and lost Paul Cooke things looked considerably different.

We then made a mistake employing Gary Thornton. That set us back at least a couple of years. Had he been able to bounce us straight back up again, we might have got back on track.

That's all history and with hindsight I'm sure the club would have done quite a few things differently. The ambition to move the Dons forward still remains but we're not going to zoom out of this league and then zoom through the Championship and get into Super League just like that.

From a solid sustainable base, as we have presently got, as I described earlier, we're in a decent position to move forwards again. My personal targets for the club would be to get out of this league no later than the end of 2019, consolidate in the Championship in the first season after promotion, and then aim to be in the top six the season after.

Thanks S/O. I'm pleased 13 out of 15 were okay. I'm sorry I came up short with the last two!
