And time ticks on and still no news from the club or other sources

Madon's mate?

In fairness I still believe it's been done. He only told me it hasn't for a wind up knowing it would be put on here. 

[Sweaty Gussets]

I'm guessing Sharpe and Jackson both know who we have/haven't signed, but have been told not to say anything.

Agreed. I've had to make a real effort to detach myself from them while still being a passionate fan of the club. It's been a strain and I still get the venkys flare-ups more often than I would like...

 

Lol. Me too.

We used to go to Ireland regularly to see the in laws. My kids would all get up and leave the room, as soon as one of the relatives asked me about Rovers.

Think Michael Douglas in Falling Down!

[RoversClitheroe]

Maybe they are getting the obligatory picture with JDT?

Or has JDT resigned and finding some random bloke for the obligatory pic with the new signing (s)?

[Boz]

Putting to one side, whether we have or have not made any signings on transfer deadline day.

It is now twelve hours since the deadline closed and still nothing from Blackburn Rovers....indefensible in my opinion. 

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Looking like heads need to roll... 

But i think it's a safe assumption the transfer failures will be down to the rubber stampers on the administrative side (pisha, waggot and venks) and it's safe to say those 3 trashy entities wont be going anywhere😤

Don't fancy meeting you in the McDonald's opposite Ewood...! 👀

[ElTwis]

If there was a late issue with O Brien we'd know by now. This is the club sorting the media bits ahead of a decent launch in an attempt to soften the blow of BBD signing a pre contract.

Would assume with players reporting for training this morning that things would be confirmed one way or another. I am sure journalists will be outside training grounds getting info. Hoping that it’s just a backlog at the e.f.l end.

We don't need DFENS though, we need a striker!

I’m thinking Jack Nicholson in the diner scene in “ Five Easy Pieces “.  “ You see this sign ? “

Deafening silence while the fans work themselves into a frenzy is a poor attempt at softening the blow!

Sharpe seems to be as in the dark as we are based on his comments. He's still not heard anything from the club.

Possibly not the time, but this made me laugh. Cheers!

It appears you're right. Maybe they're all still in bed.

Yea I agree, putting something out along the lines of "don't worry, this'll be worth it Rovers fans" would help

What if they have loads of fall out to manage? e.g. JDT and/or Joe Egg have resigned, owing to lack of backing/communication..in a Lambert on steroids event !

Thought of another one. Could be there’s a dispute about whether it was registered on time.

It’s all very strange.

Nothing at all on the official site, nothing at all from the LT - and last night Thomason said he knew nothing about transfers.

Makes you think there’s “something” going on, somewhere.

Womething positive would be nice! Not expecting it.

[goozburger]

Sharpe normally has an idea of when we're done in the window. He hasn't put that statement out, which suggests the club haven't told him that we're done. Something must be going on.

[Tugay Et Labore]

The fact the Brierley hasn’t been announced yet either, gives me hope this is a comms thing rather than it’s fallen through.

The Rochdale forum think that Brierley isn’t going anywhere.

[JacknOry]

Something's gone wrong and they are all arguing over whose fault it is. Doesn't take long for media teams to mock up signing videos - other clubs do it in a matter of an hour. I don't even care about sticker books and all that jazz - just let us know!

Maybe the club camera broke and they had to book a professional photographer, but they are all busy with taking photos of new players at other clubs. 

 

Gregg writes long essays when we sign players so probably needs a bit more time.
