O' Driscoll

[Guest]

Get irvine the clown sacked and get sod in before the pigs do!

[marconi]

Not sure I could stand listening to his dull interviews, with the countless you knows, and sharp intake of breath. Not an impact manager for me.

[ToastFeatures]

we could do with someone like big sam, but knowing our luck west ham will sack avram and he'll come to us :/

[Eastern]

But we would be taking the same risk as Laws and Irvine. Taking a manager that has been successful at smaller teams. Can he make the step up?

He may prove to be a great manager, but I'd be more comfortable taking a manager that has managed in the Premier League, has promoted teams up from the Championship.

Plus I think Mandaric would want a big name.

A Sam Allerdyce, Curbishley type name.

Or maybe my head is in La La land right now.

There are loads of managers I'd have over Irvine.

Sean O'Driscoll is one of them.

Irvine has to go though. There is no evidence of a plan or a style that he is trying to implement. Just a lack of any obvious direction- poor more often than good.

Ditto.

We need to act now and sack the useless bugger.

Lets be ambitious, and go for a big name who has been there and done it at the top level. They can only say no.

Lets break the trend we have had for the last decade or so and not settle for mediocre, (or in Irvines case abysmal) managers.

[TheGodfather]

Zola.

Based on what exactly?

[Dan™]

Yeah, let's replace a boring, uninspiring manager with another boring, uninspiring manager who self confesses to need time to build a squad and get them playing his system before the results will come.

[SquirrelSlingshot]

Watching Doncaster is anything but boring and uninspiring.

It's not bloody Big Brother. You're not voting for a managers personality. I'd rather have a quiet and introverted but tactically astute manager than someone who shows a lot of "passion" but is just a bunch of hot air.

[Paul..]

Based on that I'd like him to be our next manager.

[wharncliffeowl]

Doncaster chairman John Ryan rates Irvine. When we appointed him Ryan was on the radio saying Preston were silly to sack him and we had got ourselves a very good manager. Straight swap?

[TheGodfather]

Based on that I'd like him to be our next manager.

Yeah I got that part...

But why?

[Owl.1867]

I sid this to pigs and I'll say it now: Why would O'Driscoll leave Donny for either of us right now?

Yes we've just been taken over and that's all good, but as it stands we're still in League 1. No denying we're a far bigger club than Donny and with much more potential, but that's all for the next few years. For now we're far below them, both of us. He has no reason to leave right now.

The advantage we do have were he to move though is that there's no way pigs could pay any compensation.

I suppose the argument would be that Donny are pretty much at their peak. They don't have the support, scale or the infrastructure to maintain a position much higher than where they are now, unless someone bankrolls them out of their back pocket (and that won't happen).

Donny played superb football at Hillsborough last season - we couldn't live with em.

Great shout ......... get him in. I'd love to watch footie like that every week.

Wasn't O'Driscoll approached by Southampton after they sacked Pardew?

I can see where you're coming from but still, he's on a good thing with them, why break that now? He's young enough to really see how far he can take them before moving on to a bigger challenge, right now I actually think he'd be a fool to move elsewhere.

I have no idea, but if he rejected that then I can't see why another League 1 club would be different.
