Ending up in League One would be an apt conclusion for our board

if they were to leave next summer.

Whilst Peter Grant can shoulder some of the blame for what is happening on the pitch, the board are largely to blame: Look at how they handled the Nigel Worthington scenario and the fact that they appointed a novice to guide a club in decline out of trouble. Added to that, Doncaster's inability to run a football club and the fact that the club is a soft touch when it comes to negotiating transfers.

I don't think it's just a case of getting rid of the board; Doncaster has to go too.
