Eustace isn't the person that's going to be able to give meaningful updates on transfer progress, so if you're relying on his daily interviews for anything of substance I think you're going to be disappointed. Who we really need is the latest unqualified weasel in the chicken hatch; Gestede. Our Rudy was going to ensure that he communicates with the fans more often.. then immediately tried to pull the wool over our eyes in his first communication, and hasn't been seen or heard of since.

I speak about our plight a lot, mainly as 90% of my friends and family support Prem teams and so take pity/are curious as to why I still bother, and a common theme that comes up is that it's a cultural thing about not wanting to admit failure. And (sadly for us) they're so disgustingly rich because of Daddy, that they can afford to cling on and lose $$$$$ rather than lose face. Spoilt, pathetic, horrendous cunts

The lot of us deserve a fucking medal putting up with this nonsense for the last 15 years

Feel like you'd need to be 100% certain of this given the current mood on here

I think Broughton did pretty well with the hand he got dealt, so we'll have to agree to disagree. How anyone achieves anything of note under these wretches blows my mind.

It really is worrying, taps have been completely turned off and it's clear as day we're getting no additional funding for Jan I reckon the cunts sit down with the fat cunt & shadow cunt at the start of each year to tell them the budget and that absolutely nothing changes that - including 30m+ worth of player sales So people (previously) on the ground with any football nous (Broughton) go and try and get players in that will help us for a promotion push - McGuire, O'Brien - but this likely sits outside of the previously agreed budget and so the plug is pulled last minute, probably by a Venky stooge. Jan 2025 and we now have no one on site that has any real capability for a successful transfer window, nor is going to bite the hand that feeds them, so they won't even try and go outside of any previously agreed budget, which means we're bargain basement shopping. Also I imagine very few clubs take us seriously after the last few January debacles won't be helping. 15 years of gross mismanagement and it utterly fucking disgusts me

Cant believe we're still in the play off places. Soak it in, as soon as we drop out (no doubt in the next week or so) that'll be it for another year. Just fuck off and die Venkys you cunts

Oh Toth Cant believe we're going to lose to these cunts, they've been absolutely appalling

Good effort by the big man, keeper made it look closer than it was though

Our bench is weaker than Frank Lampards hairline

I know we're down to the bare bones, and the Venky cunts have slowly fucked us over the last 15 painful years, but we can't go as low as losing to Frank fucking Lampard, can we?

Nailed it. As much as it pains me we're never making the play offs this year, fantastic effort by JE and the squad to get us where we are. Hoping and praying they'll be gone within a couple of years and that we're not in League One or Two when they do fuck off.

Release some names we have no chance of getting to keep the masses happy Fat cunt CEO 101

Who is deeming it acceptable? Because we certainly ain't. Venkys ain't as they have no idea what a transfer window is. Rudy & Co? The Facebook lot?

Absolute clown Most of them are from that era.. Neville, Gerrard, Rooney, Van Nistelrooy, Parker etc

Brittain, absolutely cracking player

Sir Makhtar, love the big man

Thos thread should be named "people trying to convince person with chronic confirmation bias that there is an alternative narrative"

You're going to have a long January if you try and make sense of this place

Repeat ad nauseum until they're gone

Not great from JE but I think he is merely trying to reinforce the point that we're over achieving. He's clearly ramping up pressure on the board to deliver, he'll be well aware of what happens to Rovers in the January windows and is doing everything he can via the media to reinforce the point we need more quality in certain positions. He's also still not great with his words in front of the media, which won't help.

Agree with this, I thought Buckley was fucking appalling when he came on against the Dingles I guess he's going to get a lot more game time now though as no chance we sign a replacement, so he best pull his finger out

If JE isn't backed in this window surely even the most deluded Venky backers will finally see them for what they are.

Buckley is dogshit £40m vs £150m, no quality at all Venkya you cunts

If the cunts and the incompetents they have running the place fuck this transfer window up, it'll be up there amongst their biggest crimes since darkening our doors. Back JE and get us in the top 6 come May you wretches
