Cheap deal to try and look proactive in early January, not even particularly experienced at this level

He was indeed spot on in that we were signing a player. Fair play. He just didnt know who the player was, which is fine. Its nothing to do with any supposed disagreements in the past. I am not saying that he has done anything wrong or deserves any criticism.

An uncorroborated Mercer report of a recent approach. I hope he's right.

I'm sorry there's no name so it can't be true

Just seen a piece on the LT online about a couple of homemade banners advertising the boycott which were attached to railings at the junction of Buncer Lane and Preston Old Rd. It's good that they caught the attention of the LT but surely they could have been done properly at a printer's? They look really unprofessional. I've seen better efforts tied round lamp posts telling us all "Sheila is 60 today etc".

Still atleast you know the football is still

What is this new owner rumour?

C'mon - you might "reasonably" have assumed someone might have signed for us every day in January before that as well. But they didnt. Well, apart from someone who was effectively completely free.

I do feel that your just clutching to try and downplay because of previous disagreements with Mercer which is your own prerogative of course but he was in before Nixon and any other source and was spot on - on this occasion

I’m just waiting for him to go full Kean and state “There is no chance we will be relegated”. I reckon either him or Gestede will come out with that line before the end of Feb.

This. I find it so frustrating when I go on the cesspit that is X and see the ridiculous level of infighting. Even though I am aligned with their views, there are certain people on there that just do not help themselves at all because they continuously take the bait of the likes of the food tech teacher fella who is constantly fishing for an argument, and it all just ends in them resorting to insults. Can't remember who it was, but someone calling fans who still plan to go to the game 'scabs' just doesn't help at all, it's actually embarrassing and just paints one side in a bad light. Its simple - kill them with kindness and diplomacy. There's no need to resort to calling someone a scab or whatever.

Indeed. A change of topic entirely but the US President Harry Truman used to have a sign on his desk reading 'The buck stops here'. That would be like garlic to a vampire down at Brockhall.

Think you're taking it all a bit seriously. All I said was that you didn't provide information beyond what we would reasonably assume is happening anyway. If people enjoy that, cool. Personally, I'm not sure it's worth it, apart from maybe to say you knew something before other people if the nebulous thing comes to pass. Again, not for me, but if that turns you on, fine. No judgement.

Broken clocks..

Knighthood and stand named after him at Ewood if he gets the new owner rumour right!

I feel like you are missing Chaddy 😂

Spot on regarding the timing. But without a name hardly qualifies as a big scoop.

I hope for the best but fear the worst ! If the worst happens, I hope Ismael is finding his own way home !

I’m sceptical with a lot of the rumours and ‘itk’s but he was pretty spot on with this one Previous track record does enable scepticism but sometimes ya call it as ya see it and he got this one right

I’m interested as to why folk keep putting British players in their line-ups. I appreciate even the OP put a Welsh player in there, but I took the migrant bit quite seriously!

Hopefully we will not have anymore last minute issues with this transfer window. I read that Rovers have ditched the fax machine and have invested in AI on their computers. Unfortunately, a human error meant they ordered the wrong Al

Be playing against us in 3 weeks time so they'll certainly be out of it after that.

But surely the players name/identity is quite important in getting a story/scoop. Not just me being pedantic.

There, There - Radiohead

definitely too many indians
