Roker Rapport Podcast: With Stewart Donald (Tues 28th May)

The host is a bell end.

 

[Seaham Towny]

Revenues £19m

Cost base of £34m...

Exceeded the business plan

 

[gipetto]

To paraphrase: "Many fans want Ross out what makes you think he's the man for the job?"

"Hasn't learnt mistakes from sitting back"

It seems Stewart doesn't want to change Ross because of the potential turmoil it may cause. Is it because we can't afford to let him go and replace him?

Absolute rubbish.

One year on his contract - maximum £25ok cost. Shouldn't be an issue.

They might not be able to afford £250k to be fair.

Why? For asking proper questions? This is the best line of questioning on these podcasts to date

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

I couldn't listen to 2 hours of them tbh. Think I'll just get the jist of it from here

It's like listening to a Ricky Gervais and a Harry Enfield skit.

 

[gipetto]

Donald seems to be defending the defeat slightly on the basis that we are not prepared for the championship.

If we can't do that, there's no transfer budget. Whether the upheaval and squad changes that tend to go along with a managerial change is affordable is another matter.

Without additional investment he'd be right.

Hi Connor. You were a shite host

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Benji's been offered a new contract - a long one with a good increase.

The host is doing what any good journalist would do and ask the tough questions. I haven't listened to the full podcast but fair play to the lad.

 

[mr chuckles]

The host is a bell end.

Why?

 

[Seaham Towny]

The host is a bell end.

He really isn’t. He’s doing what majority wanted him to do and showing real balls in my opinion.

aye they could afford the millions for gigg amd stewart is worth tens of millions but you think they cant afford 250k? madness..

 

[Jasper]

In fairness though, I got the impression Stewart wants Ross to stay but Methven wants rid.

I got that too.

I don't know, it was merely a suggestion.

Stewart saying some very good stiff mind, he's very much reiterating the thoughts/expectations on here i.e. wanting an attacking team, playing good football and having the ability to kill off games. Donald believes we can get there with Ross by altering the squad and he thinks we can do so in the summer.

Methven adding that season two is when time for excuses is over.

 

[Jasper]

Whoever said they heard Donald and Methven weren’t on good terms has decent intel, it’s blatantly obvious from listening to the two of them.

I'm not really picking that up mind. Both saying they expect to win the league and want to win the checkatrade trophy as well. They are saying they have the resources/finances to get us there.

All very uplifting actually and Methven clearly agreeing with Donald.
