Well it would be terrible for our season if it derails one of the most organised pre seasons we have had in a long time.
He hasn't achieved anything in the game to be poached by another club outside of sentimental attachments.
Doncaster will want someone who has a track record to get them out of that league and when the likes of Moore are available for free i struggle to see they would pay us for Wellens.
Fingers crossed Donny appoint someone quickly and not Wellens!

Let us assume that DR make a confirmed and official approach. Power turns it down. RW has a decision to make. Stay put and make a fist of it or decide he’d like to manage in a higher league. It the former no problem, if the latter I can only assume with Power saying no, that his only option is to resign? That being the case what would we stand to gain from DR if anything?

If Donny are serious Wellens will go. Quite handy for Power, gets some compo, and can probably promote Noel Hunt, who he seems to like.... Matty Taylor could come into the equation somewhere.

He’s way down the list of who the fans want - plus they can’t even spell his name correctly.
There are far better qualified managers available with experience - Adkins seems to be the fans’ front runner.

Power had the option to do that after he sacked Brown - plus he had to pay him off and not receive any compo.

You'd think they'd rather get the appointment sorted quickly, the free agent market would facilitate that easier than pursuing an employed manager, pre-season starts on Monday afterall.
If Wellens wants to manage Donny he's got plenty of time to do so in the future.
Don't see it this time around.

Quite so. Additionally, this must be his first chance as a manager to have assessed a group of players over a period of time and then have a full pre-season to mould the squad into his image as it were. And in fairness, he seems to be getting pretty good support from Power as well. And in any case as has been pointed out, he's done nothing as a Manager as yet so that's another reason for Doncaster not to persue it - Makes no sense to either side - this time at least.

And I understand the ex-player thing, but he'll be a professional first & foremost. You don't make career decisions based solely on sentiment. And while Donny do play in a higher league, it's a league we have a decent shout at getting back in to soon. And their crowds last season were less than 2,000 higher than ours on average. Not much of a step up in the scheme of things.

Don't overlook what Wellens had to say about the state of our club..... Donny from being a completre basket case, have been seemingly well run for some years now. It might not be much of a step up, but it still is a step up. If Donny are serious he'll go.

Nigel Adkins favourite for the Donny job in most places and with the Donny fans, very few want Wellens in their forum poll, a straight swap Hull and Donny.

From the Donny forum. Wellens has done nothing above average so far. Meh, ok at Oldham, Meh ok at Swindon. There are dozens of managers out there with better credentials than him (and probably temperament).
Got a feeling they’ll go for Flitcroft
There's a few on that list that don't stand a chance. - Wellens McCall Cowley Campbell
Richie Wellens not interested Darren Moore yes Michael Appleton possible David Flitcroft no chance

I'm indifferent... I see how football works. Gaffer x gets a better offer from a club a bit further up the food chain so he goes. I know it's controversial, but I'm sticking with the observation.
