Probably realised that promotion was a pipe dream, after allowing our better players to leave the club, and be replaced by inexperienced youngsters. You can con people some of the time, but others can see thru the waffle.Quote:

When has 12th actually been confirmed by anyone from the club?Quote:

I don?t think they said last season when I asked in the fans forum didn?t someone say we were about 10th and they just laughed?Quote:

*when asked not when I asked 😂 can?t say I?ve been to one 😊Quote:

The word Palmer used last winter was that we had a “competitive” budget, but definitely not one of the highest. It sounded like there were three or four clubs with very big budgets, then the next group had similar budgets - which included us. I seem to recall him expressing surprise at quite how high some of the rival budgets were.Quote:

All I have to say is Rob Sreet, Doncaster!!
Yet Rob Street is the kind of signing who would have been vilified here, had we signed him when Donny did. He'd just come off a previous loan spell with Cheltenham where he'd scored something like 2 in 20. And a year with Shrewsbury before that scoring 4 in 40.Quote:
