The January 2026 Transfer Window

Rovers negotiated this with the FA, as the broom cupboard where the fax machine is kept gets too cold over the weekend due to the heating being switched off at midday on a Friday, and it takes a while to warm up again once the switch is flicked at Monday 2.30pm after training. Oh, and it takes a while to get the fax machine out from behind the Henry vac, the Amway cleaning stuff that has been stuck in there since Shelfy left, and the piles of unanswered letters from disgruntled fans which Pasha can't read as he never bothered with any of that old fashioned and inconvenient school stuff as a kid. And, of course, the broom cupboard is locked, in case anyone seeks to tamper with the slightly dodgy switch on the fax, which was bought for £2.73 at a car boot sale in Longridge in 2012.

It doesn't really matter when the deadline is - Rovers management pledged to 'get their business done early' this January. And so it is. Deadline be damned, except for outgoing players and incoming wonga for the beshitted ones.

PASHA OUT!

UNRELIABLE TEA BOY OUT!

VENKYS OUT!
 

Is that the official club statement 😁

It is an official Old Codgerism. I would not be surprised, however, for the geniuses down at Ewood to cut and padte it in future comms with theirvdevoted, dedicated and discriminating fan base.

Yea we all know we are done for, the players know we are done for, the owners probably don’t know what our HomeKit looks like, only way is down. 

thing is we are helpless to change any of it, so I’m done fretting about it , football is dead for this club until we get new owners

Someone remind me, is deadline day tonight at 11pm?

No, it's Monday at 7pm apparently. 

Would be no excuse if Rovers still think its 11.00pm - and there's their excuse ('all agreed but couldn't complete on time').

Only just realised that the window is open until 7pm on Monday night. 

Does anyone know what time any new signings would have to be made to be available for Tuesday? 

Why would it matter they wont be playing ... it would be the same situation garbage that comes out of the club and the Vi ... 'they  were our no 1 target we have been looking at since last January but need time to  get up to speed and adapt to how we play ,or they are carrying a slight injury and we need to manage their playing time so will be a few weeks away from starting '... .......and thats only if by some remarkable miracle anybody is transferred in 

The club is joke

You forgot to mention the hundreds of letters of support that a former manager, used to get weekly.

They must be taking up a large room somewhere.

I can't see why they would want him tbh. Then again I can't see why we want him.

This is by no means a comparison so don’t take it that way but what are Bristol c owners at too selling their best forward and best defender to play off rivals 

owners truly baffle me - if you aren’t in it to get to the prem what is the point 

Ask Tony Mowbray.

He wanted to sell Rothwell to Bournemouth, our immediate play off rivals at the time.

Makes more sense why they would want him, Wrexham are forward thinking and looking towards the future, so buying a few young players who can improve over a few years (especially seeing as they haven't yet got an academy) makes sense.  They may even be able to flip him for a quick profit in a year or so if they outgrow him

Rovers on the other hand are looking at this goal shy kid as the answer to their problems up front because they refuse to engage with the financial reality of being a Championship club.  Although once League One is realised, and he outgrows the club, he can be sold on at a nice profit.

I suppose his main attraction for any club at this level is Championship experience whilst still being young enough to not be included in the 25 man squad

in true rovers deadline day moves,someone will be coming in on loan,most likely unfit and unmotivated

would`nt surprise me if sam gallagher landed here on loan at the last minute

Another query I can't remember.  When was the last time we signed a player and introduced them on the pitch before a game?

Jayden Danns on loan?

Hardly kicked a ball since we missed out on him last January.  In fact, has only featured in 12 games at any level since the start of last season)

Because he wanted to buy some players in January to improve the squad, money wasnt forthcoming otherwise and Rothwell clearly didnt want to be here. 

Yet you stick to this weird theory that he had a big warchest that he turned down, which doesnt fit in with being willing to sell Rothwell as a sacrifice to have some money to spend. And more importantly, doesnt fit in with any January window that you have seen since under these terrible owners.

they would`nt entertain offers for brereton either,brighton were supposed to be very interested and we could have doubled our money on him

that season if rothwell and brereton had been sold and o`brien and undev came in we`de have been a serious contender to win the play offs

rothwell was a sulker who disapeared if it was`nt going his way and diaz was a one season wonder

I think those 2 were different seasons as Brereton had a year longer on his deal and the O'Brien/Undav situations were the year after Rothwell left.
