Well if we weren't going down we will be now! Apparently Saunders went through 40+ players in a season at Wrexham
Tbh I thought better of John Ryan than this

I didn't advocate a change of manager, more a change of style, but its happened, so i can live with it. I dont know why anyone is surprised though, JR has sacked every manager he ever appointed. Remember when Wignall was derided by the fans , JR said he would resign if Wignall was not backed, he sacked him and is still at DRFC.
I dont know if Dean Saunders has what it takes, but, i will at least give him chance ( he would not have been top of my list of potential managers ).
Not sure if TBand DW were behind this, but whoever was it was a shareholder decision, and JR is one of those.

I would think it was on the cards from end of last season, maybe the argument brought things to a head and JR felt he was rowing against the tide.
As with Dave Penney departure i dont suppose we will ever know the truth behind it,( although i do have some knowledge on that ), but its happened, i am not glad, i am not sad, its a fact of life that football is results orientated and SOD was not getting the results, so someone or some folk decided on action, hope it benefits the club now it has happened.

Yep , at the end of the day i did not want Sod to go but he has for whatever reason, its now upto the supporters to get behind the new manager and the lads and give them the support that they will need to get out of this rut and start climbing the table...RTID

Dino Whatever have you done ?, you've took Donny to league one, you won't win a cup you won't win a shield, and your biggest game will be Chesterfield.

Its been a strange day, the official site has hardly gone overboard at announcing our new manager..not many i bet woke up this morning expecting this to happen, like i have said i was behind Sod 100% and am sure that with the players coming back from injury he could have tuned it round, but something happened last night and we have found ourselves with a new manager, i will give him the same backing i gave Sod and will judge him on the results over the next few weeks, but if he doesen't turn it round then it could be a costly mistake, hopefully he will though..

From Paul Goodwin had it broke SOD reading the bit at Cardiff.
NOTHING ever surprises you in football - but the majority of Doncaster fans will be shocked and stunned this morning at the news of Sean O’Driscoll’s exit.
Aside from the 19-game sequence without a league win, there had been signs of late that all was not well behind the scenes.
O’Driscoll was not his usual self after the 2-0 defeat at Cardiff City a fortnight ago.
After keeping the assembled media waiting for an hour after the final whistle, O’Driscoll was almost lost for words during his radio and television interview.
He made the most untypical substitution of his entire five-year reign when he hauled off defender Richard Naylor at half time and replaced him with striker Milan Lalkovic - going all out for the win in Wales.
And he looked like a man whose world was about to end.
There were stories floating around that O’Driscoll had been inconsolable in the dressing room afterwards - allegedly sitting alone, staring into space, pondering his next move.
Indeed his next move was to drop Mustapha Dumbuya at Reading - one of the few players, in many people’s eyes, to do himself any sort of justice in Wales.
His post-match tone had notably changed, from defending his players to questioning his players.
He then changed his training methods at Cantley Park, introducing a competitive ‘win or lose’ element which defied his somewhat stubborn emphasis on performance rather than results.
From the outside looking in, he was a man who was perhaps running out of ideas.
But with Billy Sharp, Ryan Mason and Brian Stock all set to return to full fitness over the next few weeks, the timing of his departure is strange to say the least.
John Ryan announced publicly this week that Rovers weren’t about to go down the route of sacking their manager.
No other manager out there was better equipped than O’Driscoll, Ryan wrote in his Free Press column.
So the dramatic change of heart - and the speed of Dean Saunders’ recruitment - is the most shocking thing about the whole episode.
The truth about what has gone on will ultimately come out in the wash.
But like most fans, my reaction this morning was one of shock and upset - Rovers have lost a manager who was different to anything else out there.
He had a unique approach to the game, and he spoke about the game in a unique way.
He is the man who brought Championship football to Doncaster, almost single-handedly raised the club’s profile, and got them playing in a distinct and delightful fashion.
He’ll no doubt walk into another job at League One level, or higher.
Hopefully the board won’t live to regret their decision, and good luck to Dean Saunders - he has some big boots to fill.
*What are your thoughts on the events at Doncaster Rovers?

Gardening leave is basically where you are still employed by the club until a financial package can be sorted out...a few managers at our place have found themselves on it..
