When I was told about that around the time Waggott left, I was told it was a verbal agreement between Rovers (Waggott) and Adidas/Gary Aspen himself.

When Rovers (I would guess Pasha?) kaboshed it, I supposed it broke the proverbial straw with Waggott because he resigned about 2 weeks later.

Waaaaaay more to it than that. And it’s unbelievably ridiculous.

Funny how there’s no broken fax machine ala Maguire / O’Brien when we’re the selling club. Gotta give Venky’s credit, they’ve been consistent with that.

[Ricceh]

Cheap utility man to replace Hyam woo....

Yeah this window just makes that look more and more like a stitch-up, if even possible. We’re treated like mugs

Still muppets lapping it up though.

[CambridgeRover]

New guy on a loan btw

Not even a perm. But an option to buy that will never be taken

Hate that he types that update as if we should all be happy that we didn't c*ck up the sale of one of our key players without bringing in a replacement...

Yeh now did we not mess this deal up?!! We managed to mess up when we are apparently trying to buy players but sell players seems to go without any concern

The Football Manager game analogy is perfect. Sell the old guard in one feel swoop and replace them with mainly fast or tall or athletic players in the hope of breaking the game engine.

I know its part of his gig and he’s essentially a Rovers yes-man, but surely to fuck he ought to be the voice of the supporters and ask what the bloody thinking behind this one was.

Indeed, although in the middle of deadline day probably isn't the time.

[iSeeRed]

Hate those announcement videos of them biting flowers and striking poses.  Rather they just put out a press release.

[neophox]

TGH may be a good signing adding to the midfield. Good age 23. Option to buy. Now keep Hyam.

The only interesting thing about this player is you can say those three names in any order and he sounds like a disgraced firm of solicitors.

[neophox]

It's a player VI knows since his time at WBA.

[Neal]

Is he shit?

Are you well sir? Hyam is gone 

[ihateburnley]

He's a decent player tbf. I know we're all slitting our wrists about Hyam, but as a signing in it's own right, it's decent.

[OnionBalaji]

What would you rate the window out of 10?

4/10 - losing hyam was criminal 

[Ricky]

I mentioned earlier that my Birmingham supporting friends all think he’s a solid signing.

It’s not so much losing Hyam as the sheer lunacy of the timing.

[Old Codger]

Has Hyam gone? Nothing on Rovers website. Nowt on Wrexham's... It's a mystery and a miserable one at that..
