Just listened to this and I don't know why CH bothers.Skirts round the issue of getting rid of Thornton and then shows as much enthusiasm as a turkey for Christmas.Should be along the lines of we are going to make sure we get the very best coach for the club who will take us where we want to be etc. but instead he just drones on as though the situation is a lost cause.Just wonder if Club Doncaster have already set the parameters and he sees a hopeless situation taking us on the same old road to nowhere.

I thought is was quite an honest interview.
Not much more he could have said.
Imo

He didn't say what he said in his interview on Radio Sheffield

What did he say Geoff ?

I didn't hear the full interview but I heard Carl say that Gary Thornton had been very loyal & had kept faith with his players & they had let him down with some of there performances.

One remark I would like to comment on is about the players being good enough we have had big problems at 6/7 Hedges & Howden have not been good enough. Carr's tackling at full back has been ineffective . We have not had a 13 all season . GT said he wouldn't play injured players but I think Carr & Howden have been, well we know Howden has been & still is , as it has been well documented .

I don't know what the relationship has been between the players & coach but something had to be done .

That's always going to be the case I suppose when the 'five-year plan' or whatever has been promised to the investors isn't working...

Just listened to ITD again I don't think they will employ a new coach this season it sounds like a make do and mend plan to see how Peter Green,Rhys Lovegrove & Peter Bell coaching arrangements work out.

One thing for sure we need to strengthen the squad now .
Good luck to Peter he must think he can turn things round at least he knows what has been going on between the head coach & some of the players . He has admitted there has been too many changes , however we are running short of numbers .
Howden, Nicholson ,Kelly, feka , Cross , Muranka all injured . Thackray suspended .
Not sure about Heil ?

"We will see what comes through the door." ... does not fit well with having a plan.

I think we are in disarray.

We have got to come across in a more structured and positive way.

"We will muddle through and see how it goes." ....seems to be the message.

But I would probably have done the same and given Peter Green a go mainly on practical grounds.

But I would give him a realistic target so he knows where he is at.

The next 5 games probably and also be scouting heavily for a head coach for the playoffs and next season.

Green might do it ... good luck to him.
He was part of the failed coaching team though.

Difficult!

I don't think the Dons have had a dedicated scout or a scouting system in place looking for players since Mince in the reign of John Sheridan.

Mince?

He was from the Castleford area brought to the club by John Sheridan to scout for players hence his nick name Mince {Mince Spy)

Hi Baz,

Could you please ask Carl if he can give some clarification with regards to the differences between loans deals and a Dual Reg deal.

Does the parent club still play the wages when a player is on DR but a separate agreement is made when the player is on loan, with the loaning club paying some or all of the wages?

Many thanks.



PS. You can say the question is from Mike Lindley
