But that's exactly it, I'm not cherry picking

Where was the club when Doncaster inherited it? Championship

Where was the club when he left? League 1

What was the financial state when Doncaster inherited the club? Weak

What was it when he left? Horrific.

We were promoted to the prem after the stand was built and after the ITV scandal. Doncaster had the chance to deal with it but actually just made it worse.

Where was the club when McNally took the club on? League 1 with horrific finances

Where was it when he left? Championship with solid finances (albeit some overpaid players).
