Thanks, Wilf. Most Dons' coaches haven't been lucky enough to work in a league that has at least 50% 'also rans'. Measuring success solely by win rates is interesting but I'm not sure it's a very good way of assessing 'skill'.

I was in awe of what John Sheridan did but I suspect his win rate probably isn't anywhere near as good as Richard Horne's.

I'd guess the man with the best ever win rate is Ellery Hanley.

Nice stats from Rob Terrace though.

I remember it well. It was part of the reason you and I started to become disillusioned with the purpose of the Fans Panel.

The fans panel always struck me as an "illusion of being involved" event, similar to the SLO role - Barry did a great job at challenging the status quo, but since then it's been much more "let's just pretend everything is great".

Yes, one of a number of reasons not to take the process seriously.

It was no real surprise when the more 'open' forum gave way to the Club significantly reducing the number of supporter representatives who they were prepared to have dialogue with.

The current arrangements also require the fans within the group to sign up to certain Ts&Cs. This was when Wanderer and I left.

Barry Brown did an excellent job as SLO. He really tried hard to help bridge the gap between club and fans. I miss him posting on here. His successor, Carol Green, didn't have the best of health and missed a considerable number of the meetings. I've not seen Carol at the matches this season. I hope she's okay. As far as I'm aware there is no SLO now.

A vibrant link between club and fans is important. The ability for fans to pose questions and get answers matters. If I was in charge, building proper links with fans would be top of my list of priorities. Difficult questions shouldn't be considered as an inconvenience, they should be seen as an opportunity to bring everyone together.

Does Barry post on Facebook at all?

Those scripted interviews inside Carl's office used to make me cringe, the questions that were asked was that rehed he used to start answering them before the question had finished! Club doncaster have built up a cult following that are sent out to shoot down anyone who dare question the regime.
