TAKOVER TALKS CONFIRMED AT CLUB

The Doncaster Rovers board today confirmed talks have been made with other parties about a possible takeover at the Keepmoat Stadium.

It has been reported that One Direction singer and Doncaster-born fan Louis Tomlinson is making a trust with former chairman John Ryan,and want to make a £22M bid.

The club's website confirmed talks would be made "as soon as it is legally possible."

Tomlinson,22,has previously worked at the stadium whilst he was a student and,to raise money for Bluebell Wood,he made an appearance for the reserve team in February.

WATFORD TO SIGN TAMAS

Watford have confirmed on their official website that they've agreed a deal to sign out-of-contract Doncaster defender Gabriel Tamas from July 1st.

Romanian international Tamas,30,was part of the Doncaster team relegated from the Championship in May.

With his large wages,Doncaster have had to let him go.

JOHNSTONE:MY FUTURE IS BRIGHT

Former Doncaster loanee goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has explained how the experience he had as a Championship player has had good implications for his future.

Before he joined on-loan in February,U21 international Johnstone had penned a new deal at parent club Manchester United.

"The chance to play for a top club was something I needed to happen for me",he explained.

"I had been at Yeovil a few months before  but an injury denied me the chance to play.This opportunity at Doncaster has boosted my playing chances more."

"Doncaster have a good future even though they did get relegated.They will have to put this to one side quickly and focus on the task ahead."

BURTON'S KEE A ROVERS TARGET

 

Burton Albion's highly rated striker Billy Kee has become a target for Paul Dickov this summer,BBC Derby understands.

Kee,who will be playing at Wembley on Bank Holiday Monday for Burton in the League Two playoff final,has been with the Derbyshire club since joining from Torquay United in 2011.He also has two caps for the Northern Ireland U21s.

Burton boss Gary Rowett has admitted he will sell Kee for a high price should a bid be accepted.

TAMAS TO TALK WITH VILLA

Sky Sports understand that Aston Villa are in talks to sign out-of-contract defender Gabriel Tamas,who last played in the top flight in 2010.

Tamas hasn't played in the Premier League since leaving Villa's rivals West Brom in late 2010.He since has spells in Turkey and his native Romania before joining Doncaster Rovers.

Tamas was on £8000 a week at Doncaster and relegation means his wages are too much.

TRIBUTES PAID TO FAN

Clubs across England and many Doncaster Rovers supporters have paid their respects to fan Ray Dunning who died on Saturday.

The 42-year-old collapsed during the last minutes of the match away at Leicester from a suspected heart attack.He was taken to a hospital nearby but was pronounced dead hours later.

Ross Turnbull,Doncaster's goalkeeper,left a signed shirt next to the memorial garden to pay his respects.He said "RIP Ray Dunning.Rovers til I die.My condolences."

Leicester fans have also set up a twitter account(@FoxesAndRovers) to remember the occasion as "two teams heading in different directions."They have now placed a shirt signed by the squad on the garden gates.

BROWN:'IT HASN'T SUNK IN STILL"

Doncaster-born striker Chris Brown still tells the press and the Doncaster Rovers official website how he still struggles to accept relegation.

Doncaster were relegated back to the third tier in cruel circumstances after Birmingham equalised in the last minute at Bolton,sending the Yorkshiremen down on goal difference.

"I feel devastated,"Brown,29,admits.

"The thing that has been stressed by the gaffer is that one game didn't matter.It's been a likely course of action for the majority of the campaign."

"We will compete in League One with passion and learn from the relegation quickly."

ROVERS FAN DIES AT GAME

Doncaster Rovers are saddened to announce that a supporter who died at the game today has now died.

The fan died of a suspected heart attack in stoppage time and was treated at Leicester Royal Infirmary.

Fans said he collapsed after hearing Birmingham had equalised and was known as an "avid fan."

LEICESTER CITY 1-0 DONCASTER ROVERS

A last-minute goal at the game between Bolton and Birmingham meant the latter club stayed up in goal difference,and relegate Doncaster back down to the third tier.

Doncaster fans were excited when they heard Bolton were 2-0 up but two late goals changed that,along with David Nugent's penalty.

The match was Leicester's to lose with them already confirmed champions,but they wanted to win.Sam Johnstone had to get down to deny Nugent a goal.He then stopped Andy King from slotting home before the break.

Following a series of Mexican waves,41-year-old Kevin Phillips was subbed off for his last ever appareance before retiring.

Doncaster conceded a penalty with just fifteen minutes left when Husband fouled Nugent.DAVID NUGENT blasted it into the net to make it 1-0 to the Foxes.

At full-time,there was a sense of shock and disbelief,knowing a Bolton win would've seen Rovers safe.Meanwhile,Birmingham boss Lee Clark ran into the Blues end and jumped into the crowd.

VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

LEICESTER CITY BOSS NIGEL PEARSON

DONCASTER BOSS PAUL DICKOV
