Erm...I'd take him as a striker coach tbh, given what his strengths were I think he could pass a lot on. But I don't see what he can bring to transfer dealings. And an odd time to hire him if true, on the day the window closes.

We won't be hiring him, we'll just be giving him work experience to keep him busy and try to get a job done on the cheap. 

Meanwhile almost 4 months on and still no replacement CEO for Waggott.

Who is picking up 'the slack' that he was covering last year? The work that required a £400k a year salary seems to have just fallen into the cracks between those that remain. Interesting.

If we can keep hyam and complete Hickman then it’s a decent window but of course we’ve lost important players and replaced them with unproven players. High risk but potential high reward let’s hope it pays off

Garden-Hickman same agent as Ismael. Also very much looking forward to what narrative is spinned by privy. The “happy clappers” have even had enough 

Interesting Mr Bond !

Comments on twitter suggest that the common consensus on Gardner Hickman is a hard worker, versatile, technically poor and a League 1 standard player.

Fits well here then.

As long as it’s a meaty amount.

I can handle the squad being sold off.

I can't handle the puns.

And how did our last 'work experience' work out?

That will probably go over a lot of heads. 🙂

Under two hours left.

Allowing for Pasha obfuscation and dysfunctional send buttons, we are probably already too late for whatever may or may not have hoped to happen.

so no Garner-Hickman

No Hyam to Hollywood

No Gueye to Aberdeen

No Leonard to Peterborough

No Tyjon to Arsenal

No Pears to a hairdresser.

 

If the Birmingham lad came and the rest didn't happen, that wouldnt actually be that bad.

I’m a fan of a Monday Club beer but I think you have had way too many

Rhodes (like Rudy) loses credibility I had for him if he comes in to be a venky yes man.. free money for him so doubt he’ll care for us fans

For Rovers v Derby for the 150th it'll be Rovers A v Rovers B.

Sadly we'll be Rovers B.

I've followed Rovers for a long time but I've never seen a window like this. The lunatics really are in charge of the asylum.

He'll fit right in.

It’s a Derby, just not a local one.

He’ll come in very handy next season.

Funnily enough, it's the other way round for me.

[K-Hod]

When people said that Waggott was gone and it couldn’t get any worse….

Where’s that Mick McCarthy video at?

[Wegerleswiggle]

Zach Abbott from Forest. 

Deadline Day + Rovers + Forest

Bound to be a success

Rather play our kids, hope it falls through 

[islander200]

Can't even get a couple of decent loans in 

Honestly we would have been much better off if Waggott had stayed and Pasha and Gestede went, fuck all championship experience signed with the exception of one signing and a yes man as a coach willing to accept it, who will be under no pressure even when results are terrible 

I'm not writing any of the signings off or calling them shite but the owners and whoever is making the decisions on recruitment have ripped apart a squad close to a play off place and turned lnto likely relegation candidates 

Some ego on the people making the decisions thinking they can let go of near all their strongest 11 from last season and replace them with cheap league of nations 11

Gambling with our championship status

The latest Twitter rumour is that Zack Abbott on loan from Forest is Hyam's replacement. A 19 year old who has played 147 minutes of senior football.

I’ve seen that rumour. If it is true hyam is definitely going then. So a 19 year old replacing a 29 yr old. Damn this club

[Roverthechimp]

Has anything actually happened? Are Leonard and Pears still here? Is Hyam on the M6? Anyone - anything?
