The manager mentioned in his radio Lancs interview at least twice that a hand grenade had been thrown in to destroy his work. He was gagged on Friday simply because he was highly likely to call someone out for the same incompetence as last year, when it comes to getting a transfer over the line. This year the player was announced as being signed and in reality he hasn’t been. What he excuse will we have this time and who will be the fall guy. Last year it was Greg, so if it’s him again (and I’m not convinced it really was last year) do we just shrug our shoulders and just carry on regardless? Last years error cost us a play off place, this year’s could be the difference between us staying up and being relegated. A balls up like that once is unforgivable, but twice should mean it is the end for those responsible, sadly it won’t be and it will be business as usual by the end of next week.

They have to either be plants or plant pots.

No, he is on a bench in his kitchen in the USA. Some slight issue with the signing again, but Greg will admit responsibility in a couple of weeks.

If we knew for definite he was going then maybe let rip at the final whistle, but at the minute, although it looks likely, we don’t know. Maybe a few chants of we love you Jon Dahl we do during the match and Waggott out, may help.

If he does go, hopefully he won’t sign an NDA and spill the beans about what he knows. I reckon him and Waggott have been at loggerheads heads since day one and he has some real dirt to dish.

Hope it's not James Celtic from Forrest, as we know how that ends up.

Whatever you do, make sure we don't headline Burnley sign 19 year old from Rovers.

Send me a PM if you need any help. Hope I am not breaking any site rules there, but I am an independent mortgage adviser.

With no speculation intended on the Adam Wharton deal. He lives with his parents, he has been with the club since the age of six, he is a fan, as are his family and his brother who also plays for the club. He is aged nineteen and has only played on a regular basis in senior football for about 1 year. Suddenly he is thrust into the limelight and he knows only too well that the money coming into the club is pretty important at this moment in time. He is also faced with finding a home in London and will need to adjust to life in the capital. I would imagine that caused an element of doubt in his own mind and also the mind of his parents, so perhaps they were unsure if this was the right thing to do and understandably perhaps stood back to reflect. From what little I do know, his brother has the same agent and is trusted by the family, so a bit of hesitation all round was highly likely to be the issue and who can blame them. Gutted as I am, all the very best to Adam, show the premier league and the world wide audience, what you can do.

We played a team on Monday from another country and beat them convincingly.

I doubt they will even know.

Agree 100%

I could honestly cry about this one, even though we saw it coming.

I will not be holding my breath, that's for sure.

You are right, it is very easy to get overly excited, but form what I see, I really do believe he is the real deal. Time will tell and obviously he is very young, but I would be very excited about his prospects, if I was a member of his family.

Spot on, but I still have a tear in my eye right now.

I have to admit, I rate him very highly and it that's too highly in some people eye's I will hold my hands up. He is the real deal in my opinion and will shine for Palace. My guess is he will be there no more than 2 full seasons and he will get a mega move.

The Wharton move is simply a stepping stone. If, as expected he shines for them, the big boys will come knocking. I hope we have got a nice % sell on clause in there,, as I am convinced that will happen.

It is certainly gut wrenching, but we are in no state to retain such talent any longer. I firmly believe he belongs on the big stage and we have to face facts, we are not going to be there any time soon.

You would think so and I truly believe this will now be critical for the future of the club.

Strong rumour he is signing for Palace today for £22m

Although it is being made out to be a formality, the court case may well not go in their favour. There is no way anyone can be certain, as let's face it, the authorities would simply say, no need to do this any more. I guess we will know for sure on 12/03/2024 but my guess is, it will be blocked and a message will come out to dress it up in some way to make it look like everything is rosey.

I think Adam will be gone today.

We won 0-1 at Anfield the season after our first premier league relegation

It’s on the I Player too
