After some poor results, Rovers will likely be active in the transfer window before it shuts. One of their reported targets, Nectarios Triantis, could now be available with just a couple of weeks remaining in the window. According to Football Insider, Sunderland are ready to let Triantis leave the club, whether on loan or permanently. Triantis was given an opportunity to impress during pre-season by boss Regis Le Bris. ADVERTISEMENT ´ However, after key signings, both at centre-back and in midfield, Triantis does not have an immediate future with the Black Cats. Triantis had a brilliant loan spell in Scotland last season with Hibernian. Derby County have been heavily linked with Triantis too this summer, but former Rovers boss John Eustace has quashed those rumours. MLS side Minnesota United are also keen, while his former side Hibernian have been priced out of a deal.

He wanted to play against West Brom last weekend, even though Derby were interested in him, and he is keen to ensure that he gives his all until he does depart – however, he does not want to exit ‘through the back door’. The report also states that the Rams have made an offer that is ‘life-changing’ and with just a year left on his contract at Ewood Park, he is keen for a new challenge but the situation must be handled correctly.

While you are waiting in the queue on the phone for the ticket office the club is still advertising tickets for women's games in the championship.

We might have to wait a few years for players to retire and be doing the podcast rounds (as has happened in recent years with regard's to Coyle's time), but very, very intrigued to see what stories come out about this period at the club. The whole setup is completely rotten with not even a glimmer of optimism right now.

I was concentrating on more recent events. I forgot having to sell a generational talent at a knockdown fee (Wharton) to keep the lights on.

....But we could be Bury etc,etc,etc.

Oh great. We aren't Sheffield Wednesday. Yippee. That said, their players showed a lot more heart and spirit against Leicester than we did against West Brom.

This above,the Portuguese player's,Kean and his bonuses for relegation,Coyle...the list seems endless.

That is a terrible situation that Wednesday find themselves in, however, it just means that they are closer to the light at the end of the tunnel and being rid of their terrible owner Our owners, by doing bare minimum whilst clinging on for dear life, will drag us down for years yet

If you're saying that..... we must be.

It would probably only take a 500k bid for us to sell Tronstad too

So that's our Captain and Vice Captain about to jump the sinking ship. "Get behind the lads, FFS."

It's all relative i guess. It isn't great and the culture has changed dramatically. But we could have our stand closed and our players not paid for months, so our key players tear our contracts up and go to Wrexham et al on a free leaving our time full of academy players under 21 who play in the Northern Counties league.

That's an absolute steal! what day do you get this 10% February 29th?

No sight of a right winger then? But Hyam now openly for sale. Quelle surprise.

There's a risk involved here as well, playing 46 Championship matches plus cup football and training sessions with no job security past the next (less than) twelve months. Hyam is a standard level Championship defender who just had a great season compared to the one before. Adjusted for inflation and put a promotion bonus clause in there and it shouldn't be too hard to sign.

We cant allow this situation to continue any longer or this once great Club just Crashes and Burns for good.

He probably had a "shut up" clause in his contract signed in 2022.

On all available evidence, we looked fucked.

A never ending vicious circle

The only positive I can take from Trav being forced out is that he may have the courage to speak honestly and openly about the shit-show behind the scenes. Yes, I know I may be being naive about this. But, if anyone has the balls, it’s Travis. I’m clinging on to the hope that this one is actually a step too far and it brings down the bastards that are strangling our club to death. We have to get Venkys, Pasha, Gestede and the whole lot of them out now. Or, I fear it will be too late.

....And then another out of work patsy takes the Venky coin and the Circus rolls on.

How low can things go? A quick fire list and apologies for not including everything… VI called for stability earlier in the summer - ie let’s keep most of the better players in the squad together… Three stooges come out defiantly following request not to attend matches - only to be clearly talking crap CEO leaves abruptly and still not replaced Captain not happy and wants to leave VI on repeat in every press conference - like a tape recorder - talking about the “mistakes” of the past and who is going to depart next Complete vacuum of communication from the club as usual Can’t sign anyone on a new contract and anyone half decent wants to leave Chat GPT statement from the owners on the eve of the season stating a “renewed sense of optimism” As always, a total shambles….

It's too early really to say whether he is any good or not. He's had one really bad run and one really good one last season.... And as has been pointed out over the summer he's basically had 70% of the experienced players taken out of the squad and replaced by inexperienced players. So I think I'll be waiting to see how the dust settles over a few months before forming a view. What is clear is if he did manage the incredible and get us up around the playoffs like JDT and Eustace it will be an even more impressive effort! Which also would probably mean he would get a new job on or around the 9th of February.

I agree with that, I am just not sure how many of the current lot will be there in September, That's when a relegation battle becomes a real concern. It seems that Venkys/Pasha have decided upon a self imposed restriction on spending to make sure that Sheff Wednesday are not cut adrift at the bottom
