Unfortunately I fear the man least culpable for this charade is likely to be the first out of the door. As much as I've admired JDT and his style of football, it's now looking pretty obvious that his general demeanor and disillusionment with the current situation is having a detrimental effect on the players on the pitch. The uncertainty around his future can't be helping, it needs to be resolved one way or another. If he does go I hope he is swiftly followed by the real culprits in this farce that is Blackburn Rovers at present.

If the egg is still here after this latest fiasco, he presumably would be the man who will decide who takes over from JDT if he walks. If that's the case, it won't be the likes of a Warnock or Ainsworth or Jones. He's on record as saying it would be someone with similar principles to J DT as all the current sides from the 21's to u9's all play the same way. Who that would leave I've no idea. The guy Will Still was linked with Sunderland earlier in the season and he seems to have done a good job in Ligue 1

Absolutely correct, we go down, we ain't coming straight back like before Had characters like Danny Graham , Dack and Charlie Mulgrew. There's nothing like that here now

His transfer dealings ? I think the last 48 hours or so certainly disproves Broughtons comments on his arrival when he said that no signings would be made without the managers approval That seems patently not true now

The deal almost collapsed late Wednesday so he may have been down there, but the money certainly won't have been. Like I say, after calming down slightly,maybe, just maybe I can now seen some sort of plan. Short term fixes hopefully get us through to the summer and then have a real go. I'm hoping the LT are asking the same question of G B when he pops up. If Fleck is fit I'd give the window 5/10, before that 3/10 at best. McGuire obviously an unknown quantity, thr other loans don't see making a huge contribution, especially the Liverpool lad

Went to bed last night after the McGuire signing very disillusioned and actually was going to come on here and ask for Waggots and Broughtons e mail addresses to let them know what I thought of their transfer window. Woke up to find we had signed John Fleck (on another short term deal admittedly) and after some thought I am hoping this is the case : Certainly we lacked leaders and experience as admitted by JDT and these two certainly bring both of those qualities without doubt. I should know better after all this time with these owners , but I am prepared to accept that the Wharton money may have come to late to do any major deals and to possibly make some mistakes by panic signings IF that money is made available in the Summer (and it won't be £18m) then it gives the recruitment team breathing space to identify targets. Let's see if Broughton confirms that in his post window assessment. If not I'll be back on asking for those e mail addresses

The bloke that worries me is that Sinclair Armstrong. Big, quick, powerful unit , can see him having a field day against our defence. Have to keep his back to goal, if he is allowed to turn and run at us we are in trouble

It's not happening this time of night, if it ever was

He won't be playing on Saturday as he is injured. Can only imagine it will eventually be Buckley and I'm not his biggest fan tbh

It's got to the stage where I really don't care anymore. Another total shit show of a window but no doubt GB will charm his way through the post window review and nobody ( certainly not the LT) will ask him the tough questions

Yeah, we are going to miss him, especially if as it seems we don't replace him. Players like Adam are rare indeed , someone who can make the game look ridiculously easy at times

Did you watch the game the other day ?

Can someone remind them it's McGuire and not Maguire

Oh shit 😱😱 what could possibly go wrong ?

Although we won't be getting £18m up front for Wharton, the fact we have only spent around £500,000 on ,McGuires loan deal, means that we are being taken for idiots by the people in charge. It's a fucking disgrace tbh

❓

Aye, 2 hours since Jackson last posted some trivial detail. No idea what is going on there, useless

Don't mind that personally, gives us a chance to have a look at him before making a decision.

Ths deal says there is a big loan fee involved plus if we do decide to take up the option to sign him it will cost more than the £2.3m we were due to pay

Hefty loan fee involved .....

Glad someone's got some info cos we are getting absolutely fuck all from Jackson today. Come back Rich Sharpe

Nixon

It's coming by pony express. Really didn't think the club could fuck up more than the summer window but looks like they've managed it. Last season for me as season ticket holder, they've finally worn me down

Flashback to Leo being pissed about at the airport while Rovers fiddled as Ewood burned

Have no idea why the Wharton deal nearly collapsed, but if I was guessing I would say that Rovers moved the goalposts and asked for a bigger initial down payment than was originally agreed, possibly to be able to bring in these players they were.linkef with last night. Unfortunately it's probably all too late now
