Little bird has told me the three amigos are Pals again and are not interested in what the Irish Boys are offering.

Well as they said in the statement "in its present format" which still leaves the door ajar, but lets face it any buisness is up for sale if the price is right though quite why someone would want to buy into DRFC is another matter

I'm assuming it's still the same people, Sequentia, the hedge fund based in Belize (which sounds dodgy in itself) or whatever. I don't have a clue who they are, what their intentions are and why they seem so keen to do a deal.

What I do think is that we're not going to last too long at this level with the current budget, so if we want to (at least) stay at this level for an extended period of time we're going to need either:
a) Investment,
b) Large increase of support,
c) Novel approach to transfers,
d) Excellent management + luck.

Thought any chance of investment / takeover was dead until this latest and quite spectacular 'John Ryan in a Hyde Park chip shop' rumour on the radio. Would not be surprised if there was something in it based on what was said.

I didn't here it on Dee Dah but I've been reading the comments on the vsc, I suppose we can only wait and see

Bad and unlikely ever to happen. Attempts to destroy the VSC and it's hosting of a forum is so counter-productive it's untrue.

Continue down this route and you can forget any involvement in what happens at the club. IRWT has brought a lot to the supporters. Measureably more than at the majority of League clubs. John Ryan has only ever had a passing interest in IRWT and detests the VSC because it asks questions and stood in his way seemingly. I suppose there had to be someone to blame didn't there ?

We would NEVER have become a Swansea or a Hull because we would NEVER have been able to increase the supporter base to an average of 25-30,000. The 2 cities that folk refer to as the success stories to follow are not owned by hedge funds/speculators and have larger populations. Yes lads the Hedge fund/Speculators/Secret Society that is SC would more than likely throw yours and mine club away when they had achieved what they wanted.

Think on my fb friends and if you think you can improve the VSC then bloody join it properly (yes not cancelling your 1st d/debit), get involved, become officers , etc etc rather than whining and making things up.

£20-40 million buys you the Premiership are you having a giraffe. If you're not then talk to the Forest or Leicester fans who have spent a king's ransom trying to reach the promised land of the Premiership. Blackpool was a 'one off' and highly unlikely to happen again or within a generation. Do you truly think that unnamed Speculators would ask their shareholders to hang their hat on that idea ? Of course there could be a hitherto unknown gas or oilfield under the Keepmoat stadium but I very much doubt it.
The only other candidate we have is Car Park 4 which is not covered by the Community Asset Deed. In which case that area should be developed by the CURRENT owners and the cash / profits diverted to the club/them rather than shareholders.
The current owners know all about property development , I think the expression Keepmoat 2 gives that away.
As for the charge against Blunt/Bramall that they were talking to the consortium behind JR's back .............they had every right to , JR did the same did he not ? One rule for one , one rule for another springs to mind as long as it's JR. Jeez some need to grow up .

This club belongs to the town and not to JR. Why can't/won't some of you grasp that . It's my club, your club, his club but NOT solely HIS club and that's where we fall out. He was squeezed in the Boardroom by shareholders with bigger , yes bigger share holdings because he didn't have his own way. Sorry fellas they had fatter wallets, more discretion and lacked the desire to leap suddenly into the arms of SC purely on the say so of JR. Put yourself in their shoes would you just let him do what he did ?

Rant over for now............awaiting writ.

I wouldn't trust Bramall while he has a hole in his arse, he doesn't give a shit about DRFC and is only interested in raising his profile to get the queen to give him a knitehood. Not one of his current arse kissers has ever bothered to ask why he walked out 2 years ago, and please don't say it was the experiment because he fucking sanctioned it!
Does anybody know what Bramall is all about? Lets be honest here you don't. He was brought to the club by JR just like SC were. Bramall has slowly gotten rid of everybody at the club that had a voice so he can do as he wishes and nobody has even bothered to question this either!
Ask yoursleves who you trust..... John Ryan & Trevor Milton or Terry Bramall. I know who i do and who want what is best for DRFC, some people need to open their eyes to what has been going on for the last 18-24 months and realise werre going down the shitter as we are!

I personally would just like this situation to get sorted,We can't influence the outcome (unless one of us wins the Euro millions) we just need the club as a whole to settle down and go down whichever course is decided by the powers that be.
Hopefully that will be a continued and prolonged stay in the Championship.

Not on the last few performances!
0-3 was undeserved but we have nothing up front and were poor at the back for the 3 goals, Apart from that I thought we played well and through gritted teeth.............. M Woods played well
