JDT and Stephen Warnock's lovechild...

Or they were just keen to mug Elliot Jackson off.

Id say that's clearly not the case now having seen the 3 stooges interview and read recent comments by Pasha. Might have been a few years ago.

If it was a ruse to flush someone out, then the clues were there. Didnt Ismael previously say that we weren't interested in signing a RWB and the rumour about Donnum also came out a few hours after Jackson was fed a lengthy puff piece from the Club speculating that Hedges might be back sooner than expected. Looks like Jackson subsequently happily regurgitated Rover Xtra's rumour. Wasn't Rovers Xtra thought to be someone from within the Club?

I dont think he is in this instance. He is a journalist who said that there is a player not of interest to us, but in at the training ground about to sign. So he has seemingly got the story totally wrong therefore clearly did not undergo the necessary checks. He posted the story at the exact same time as one of the twitter rumour feeds. And he has since removed the story but despite hours having passed, he has not commented on it. He has always been quite poor in terms of finding out transfer news. I wouldnt be surprised if the club has played a part to try and make him look bad, and the way they have treated him in general is disgraceful. But in this instance he has totally messed up and its not harsh to say as such.

It’s a shame there will be no interest in selling it

The biggest deal so far could be the interest in buying the club. Can we hear more on this from @Mercer?

Imagine having all that money and not having a mirror in your house.

Short n sweet haha

Just admit you got it wrong on that one. Blimey.

That's what I mean, I think someone from the club was given a false name by Rudy/Pasha as they were suspected (I assume correctly) of being a regular source/leak to Jackson/various ITKs, and when Jackson et al posted the story, the leak was confirmed Expecting a sacking

It's also a long drive to Blackburn Toulouse..... I'll get my coat...

Looked more comfortable in the middle I agree better for him to have more outlets than one sided dispatch. (I heard Tim Sherwood say that term once and wanted to use it 🤣)

He'll be right at home on Whalley Range

It's a long drive from Toulouse to Blackburn

Something really strange here, Jackson would never go out on a limb and confirm a player without verification from someone at the club. Suppose we'll know more soon enough

Hahahaha

I get what you mean, just knowledge of the role albeit on the otherside might not be as hard a transition as say playing CB and being asked to drop out on the left. Time will tell but I'd say its worth a try as he looks confident on the ball and sure of his abilities

Could definitely branch it out, into a more BRFCS space, but also present our agony of the last 15 years to the world.

Ask him for a link and you can see them.

I feel like EJ is getting judged a bit harshly. His accuracy is better than most “ITK” types. Even if he’s got this one wrong (I guess we'll find out today?), nothing is confirmed until the contract is signed and the club makes it official. With plenty of people involved in transfers and football, it only takes a couple of trusted people to get the wrong info for it to spiral out of control - especially when news is breaking fast. Let's not think everyone involved in football is innocent. Trusted sources can be told lies from agents, managers, owners because they might have an agenda. Journalists aren't in the room where the most private conversations happen so they may need to rely on leaks and sources. If it isn't right, from what I've read, the LT has removed the article or sentence from an article. If they now believe it isn't happening then at least they're removing potential false information.

I think it’s damning that he said he didn’t have a name and a few minutes later he had the exclusive. How much verification did he do? Seems to (only) have the same source as the RoverXtra account these days. Vaguely recall that he made a mistake on one of the recent deadline days by declaring Rovers’ business was done only for another signing to be announced (Forshaw I think). Comes across as very likeable on his podcast and has been treated awfully by the club though.

Always seemed too good to be true that we were signing both Jorgensen and Donnum.
