Mrs Desai: Have you seen Rovers’ form lately, Venkatesh? Venkatesh: Who? Oh Rovers... no why? Mrs Desai: Says here they've returned just five points from their last 11 games... Venkatesh: Oh right, is that good? Mrs Desai: No, apparently it's concerning... Venkatesh: Ahh... didn't they just sell a young lad for £18m or something? Mrs Desai: Sure did. Venkatesh: Nice. Anyway... *Balaji walks in* Mrs Desai: Oh, Balaji - you heard that about Rovers? Balaji: Who?

Good point. If he actually wants to, then i'd like Gregg to stay - he's done a good job considering some of the bollocks he's had to put up with. He's tied down key players and young prospects with long contracts, and is responsible for some shrewd bits of business in the transfer market. He's received a lot of undeserved criticism, and has clearly had to make himself the scapegoat during his time here... but I feel like he's one of the few people left at the club with a brain. Keep Gregg. Let Eustace come in, to focus purely on the football.

Who's his old friend? Swag? Gregg?

Has anyone else picked up on how responsive Nixon is being on Twitter to those who are suggesting that the cock-ups were intentional? Seems unlike him to repeat himself so much, I also don't recall a time where he's defended the Club this much... Something's telling me that he's been slipped a few quid to dismiss the theories and try to keep the peace a little.

Recent history suggests that we won't get a penny to reinvest. Our star boy, a local lad who was the product of the Academy that Jack built, was sold to keep the lights on and save a few quid for those greedy fat muppets in Pune. P.S. Also just want to point out, as i've also seen you mention him on Twitter recently, that Max Bird was bought by Bristol City and loaned back to Derby a few days ago.

Ian Sylvester is experienced and knows how to close a deal, as proven throughout his career. I am fully in the camp that these cock-ups were planned to save the Club money, given the lingering uncertainty around the funds being approved by the Indian Courts. Those morons in Pune clearly don't want to commit to paying decent fees for players, even if they prove they're worth it. Once is a mistake, twice is a choice. Sylvester will be made the scapegoat i'm sure, but the truth will come out in time. VENKY'S OUT, WAGGOTT OUT.

We gonna spend any money this window? Considering we've just got an awful lot of it... Who am I kidding? Not a chance 😄

4 o'clock traffic, Wine and Dine with Gregg, Steve Waggott... Can't see this happening!

Hope you're right mate. Thanks for sharing - and please nobody bite his head off if this turns out to be incorrect!

I'm not having this, how was it a 'complicated one'? You agree the financials, get the lad over for a medical and complete the deal - like any other transfer. The only thing that complicates that is pure fucking incompetence from Blackburn Rovers, which is the norm these days. No other club would have any complications with this deal. It's embarrassing.

Gregg: Fuck, the Wharton deal might not go through - and the Yank is flying over as we speak! Swag: Well that aint happening is it, tell them to make a U-turn. Gregg: Steve it's a flight not a taxi... plus, we've got 8 hours till he lands - why don't we just hold off and see what happens? They obviously can't turn ar... Swag: Gregg, don't make me ask again. *bites a pie* Tell them it's off now, and to make a U-turn. (Swag waddles off) Gregg (head in hands): Fuck sake. Stacey, get me on the blower to Orlando please!

It's possible, sure... But nah, I think it's probably quite obvious... The kid is moving out of his family home to go to live in London alone, he'll be at the opposite end of the country to them... he's only 19! It's likely that he's been pushed out of the Club that he adores, against his will, where he's played at since he was 6 alongside his big brother. The poor lad has probably had an emotional meltdown, and I wouldn't blame him.

I get a couple of things from this... - Obviously, we can spend money - but not without this sale, which figures. - The saddest thing of all to me, is that Adam clearly must have stalled on signing the paperwork - the poor kid doesn't want to go 😢

I’m done.

Gonna see how tomorrow plays out, but I know how it goes, and I think this is it for me regarding this Club. Very dark days, we used to be something special that I was proud of - enough is enough.

GB: Uhhh Steve, we’ve actually beat Wednesday in the race here, Duncan is flying over for a medical right now… SW: Wait, what?! They were supposed to outbid us, so we could say “we tried our best” etc. Shit! GB: So…? SW: Well, pull the plug Gregg! GB: Okay Steve. Ummm btw - can you tell Jon this time? I did the O’Brien one remember!

We are an absolute embarrassment, shambolic behavior this. If this turns out to be correct, I won’t set foot in Ewood again whilst those muppets are in charge.

We are fucking tin pot.

Is it not?

Louie Sibley or Max Bird would do 👍

Seems like a good way of doing it to me. Try before you buy, if they’re shite send them back - however if they’re good, they’re bedded in and ready for a promotion push next season 👌🏻

We are struggling for wingers, or anyone with a bit of flair for that matter... I'll be absolutely done if we let Tyrhys Dolan go to Luton. It'd probably be for peanuts too.

Well, JDT asked for "experience" and he's got it... Kyle McFadz has played hundreds of senior games, was in the stands when England lifted the World Cup, and saw the Beatles live before they got big. This fella is the epitome of experience.

I'd be happy with Louie Sibley or Max Bird to replace Wharton... however i'm also mindful that JRC, easily one of our best players, will have his eye on that CM spot. Would it be better to sign a full-back right now and give JRC a chance to shine in the middle?

Shocking signing, bottom of the barrell. Yet after thinking about it, I can only assume that; - It's been done very cheap. - He's happy to be backup - behind all of Hyam, Wharton and Carter.
