Sorry but the cynic in me says that Ryan has another fiendishly cunning cunning plan.
What kind of journalism is this when the journalist doesn't ask the question "Why did you lie Mr Ryan about the sale of your shares"?
Just look how Ryan can manipulate the press!
I said at the time Ryan was lying and this statement confirms it.
The question I pose is .................
Would you want Ryan back on his terms?
my view point is,
I would like to see Ryan back but on our boards terms which is.......................An apology for his bad behaviour/lies and acknowledgement that Bramall is now the boss.
But if Bramall view is "Tough you are out" I would go along with that.
I hope this takes the game off your mind for a time anyway.
Ryan come back?

Alex: I defended him against your attack in the first comment on your article which I must say seemed rather hostile.

Don,
Not hostile just a little provocative I wanted to take peoples minds off the big game. I expected more people supporting him but apart from you that was it.
If you were to read back my comments before that stupid TO started you will find I was 100% behind Ryan but I consider that he fell from grace big time because of his actions supporting it.
I consider Ryan to be one of us, a supporter of the club we love. His views and comments carry as much weight as any of us now whereas before he was our leader.

Alex, the Belles aren't part of the Rovers' "Club Doncaster" - they are run on a Charitable basis - they really are a community club. The following from the Belles website.
"The Belles for The Community initiative was launched November 2009, becoming Britain’s first social enterprise delivering community, social, health and educational services with female sport as a focal point. This launch was based on extensive research amongst a large number of community organisations and agencies within Doncaster and South Yorkshire and it has certainly raised the profile of the Belles significantly. It has also demonstrated the importance of opening up women’s football to the community and to become more than ‘just a football club."
This is why it is so great that they beat Man City last night - the FA talks about Community but decided to relegate a real community club in favour of a big money club. Man City have signed some of the top women players in England, including the England Captain and yet our little community club that works with schools and other organisations to develop the game and to develop local talent came out on top. Sweet (eh) FA?

Alex: Perhaps people think the subject has been exhausted. No one knows whether we would be in this desperate fight if we had been taken over, but I suspect not.

Crazy,
As far as I am concerned the Belles(Doncaster Rovers Belles) are part of the family but thank you for the information, I stand corrected.
Don,
I suspect that you are right but it is strange Ryan is using his contacts in the press again to get headlines with no difficult questions to answer.
You are right to detect that Ryan is no longer a hero of mine and that I consider he is one of us now, a supporter, having left the club in safe hands.

Are the Belles just the barmaids having a laugh?

You may have seen this, the longer version of the latest Press interview, and to me it only reinforces the need to take him at his word:
