Matt, Dean Saunders didn't take Doncaster down and he did quite well there. Would still prefer a bit more ambition from the board though. After tonight I just hope to god Clough doesn't come into the running.
Wouldn't it be hoot if the blades made a last minute bid for Cookie. Can you imagine the Portsmouth forum if that happened? Would serve them right for pissing on our strawberries.

Apparently we have been innundated with applications so I think we should take our time and make sure we get the best available

"On 23 September 2011, Saunders was named manager of Doncaster Rovers following their sacking of Sean O'Driscoll. His first match gave the club their first win of the season and their first in 20 games, when they beat Crystal Palace 1-0. Despite this opening victory a run of poor results saw a section of fans call for Saunders to be sacked as Doncaster remained at the bottom of the league.


His attempts to keep Doncaster in the Championship came to an end on 14 April 2012 as they were relegated following a 4–3 home defeat by Portsmouth at the Keepmoat Stadium, ending their four-year stay in the Championship. In the transfer window Saunders said " I'm going to try and bring the best to the club (Doncaster Rovers) and I'm targeting Championship quality".


On 14 July 2012 Saunders made a brief return to playing as he came off the bench to score in Doncaster's 4-2 friendly victory over Cleethorpes Town.


Following their relegation to League One Saunders oversaw a promotion challenge which put the club joint top of the division by early January, but on 6 January 2013 Doncaster gave Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers permission to talk to Saunders with the prospect of him becoming the club's new manager."

He got them relegated and took them back up the following season and then left once Wolves came calling. Then he relegated Wolves, then took over at Crawley after John Gregory stood down for health problems and got them relegated.

Turns out Chesterfield will get a lump sum upfront for Paul Cook but will get the rest all depending on Portsmouth being successful.
