So if I recall, there were 3 teams after O'Brien. 2 dropped out leaving us. I bet he wouldn't have chosen us in a 2 horse race. Then I suppose O'Brien was the last choice for us. He came available only on the Tuesday. Cantwell had already fucked us off. Goodness knows who else. Thing is, if O'Brien hadn't become suddenly available, who were we bringing in instead ? Clearly nobody. Venkys Out.

At that stage they indicated they didn’t have space in the 25-man squad for him. At that stage there, of course we have to offer the support mechanisms in place. but every penny of that, for a club of Rochdale’s status right now, is absolutely vital. We have to find a way of ensuring that income can go to them and ensuring that Ethan can become a Blackburn Rovers player.

Did I read that correctly from Broughton, we are basically going to be paying what had been agreed to both players ? Support mechanisms and find a way to get the money to the Rochdalr lad.

At least he was able to get a shirt (as a momento).

The optimist in me wonders if Forest can cancel O'Brien's contract by mutual consent so we can sign him next week as a free agent. (?)

The cynical pessimist in me thinks this has been done entirely on purpose to avoid the costs and make do with what we have.

3 day Deadline Day. At least we got our money's worth.

Total radio silence from the club on deadline day plus the following day. This is a complete lack of respect for the fans. No wonder there is none in return.

EPIC FAIL

Probably couldn't find a spare shirt to announce O'Brien. Amateurs.

You and your fucking advert revenue

You know that you know better... right Mike ?

Balaji went to bed early. Sign off tomorrow.

Erm...hello... normal club ? Absolute Shambles Look forward to Chaddy telling us it was a great window in the morning.

Approval process

Jon ?.... "Ask Gregg" Gregg.... Gregg ?.... GREGGGG ?

I am expecting literally nothing to happen today.

We may field a weaker side to save ourselves for Wigan. Problem is we have seen it all before. We will get dumped out the cup and then our saved players will forget to turn up at Wigan. 2 must win games at a pivitol moment in our season.

What was allegededly said to him ? Does anybody even know ?

Fucking Shit Show Again

So now the official line has turned to we are hoping we might get one more. Pathetic Again How predictable

What about when the BBE threw bananas at Alex Williams ?

Like a suicide crossfield pass we do. "At least we can concentrate on the play offs"

Wait.... do all clubs use the same player stats database ? Isn't that a flaw in the cunning plan ?

It was an Astounding....not.
