Speculation that the Rovers are utilising any funds generated by the Dons is rubbish in my opinion, they are determined to get us into super league, the extra income this would generate would be substantial and potentially on a par with the football operation based on a league one status.The Dons budget hasn't been used in full is my opinion, I believe Paul wants to use this season to build a solid foundation to possibly go full time next year, my issue is that if we are not careful we could risk relegation and it could ruin the 3 year plan or 5 that Carl referred to at the fans forum prior to the season.
I believe the money was available to go full time this season but the staff didn't think we were ready to do so and needed time to prepare which makes sense, however I believe we should've added a couple of experienced players to give the fans some hope and remain reasonably competitive.
I am not involved within the club and this is just my interpretation of everything we've been told via tweets, Carls weekly interview and at the fans forum.
