Many years ago I, along with a number of other rovers fans regularly used to meet with JW and TF at Ewood to discuss plenty of quite relevant rovers related topics. Some fans might remember it. JW told us that some of what was said had to remain confidential. If it wasn’t then he would simply deny ever having said it. I wouldn’t ever try to tell the trust members how to run their organisation but in my experience, in order to get a little more understanding of what really goes on at the club, confidentiality can be important.

The problem with recording meetings is that the club will be very careful what they say. That’s to no one’s benefit.

Waggott, Broughton, the owners and everyone else involved in running rovers into the ground should read your post oldgregg and take in what you’re saying. I reckon you summarise so well how many fans feel - current and lapsed. They should read it because only they can do something about it.

and what guarantee does that give us? I guess what I’m saying is that in summer the market is a lot bigger. The choices are greater. Why would we stick with paying a fee for a totally unproven player from a vastly inferior league? we’ve just sold Wharton for c£20m and you would be happy with this? I wouldn’t.

Did I ask for a list?

Someone explain to me why Rovers would go to the summer transfer window with Maguire - an unknown MLS footballer as their target? Is that the limit of our ambition?

and the same will happen to the next man.

I blame the walker family. They didn’t care who they sold to.

I’m assuming JDT offered to walk away for free last summer, not this summer because the aim for the club was simply “stay up”. That was turned down and now they’ll have to sack him and pay up his contract. Just for clarification. What a total shitshow.

This situation can’t go on. JDT is making his own position untenable. I respect his honesty though.

5 points above relegation zone.

His bio simply says he’s a fan.

In other words, he hasn’t got a clue to what’s happening.

I can’t see how this situation can be resolved Arbitro.

This might be better here. As for the transfer window…… well the club have known for quite some time what JDT wanted. He virtually told everyone what he wanted. They had time to plan both the sale of Wharton and the buying, or loaning of suitable targets. What happened? Well IMO Wharton was sold without his agreement, none of that money was spent (and none will be) and as for the recruitment of players it appears that once again rovers finished up just taking whoever was still available on the last day of business. How can any manager, with any ambition whatsoever accept that? It’s not an isolated transfer window for rovers, it happens every time. It will happen again in the summer. I wouldn’t blame him if he walked. In some ways it might shake Waggott and Co up. I doubt it very much though. There isn’t a born and bred Blackburn Rovers man at the club is there?

The club couldn’t wait to get him out and get the money in. Couldn’t wait. They didn’t try in any way whatsoever to hang on to him. Football is secondary at Ewood nowadays. Probably has been for a while in truth.

We will never see that money. Loans this window, nothing for permanent signings in the summer. I’ll bloody swear by that.

All Nixon is saying is that Wharton deal might, or might not go through - and the Maguire deal might, or might not go through. Fence sitting in the extreme.
