Trondstad is PL-level. McFadz a shrewd signing. Played really well. Hoping he stays fit! Wonder when Fleck is ready.

Failed to omit is something else than forgot to omit. It was widely discussed back then that Phillips and his agent did not want to sign a contract without such a clause. The amount of time it took him to sign a deal with us tells me that it was likely a case of failing to omit. The wording in contracts is always done (at a pro-level) with the aid of lawyers.

can someone post the minutes from this meeting that Glenn has posted on X? Glenn's twitter account is difficult to browse.

What's this? CCTV of a recent emergency-meeting?

Because it involved a loan fee..?

it is astonishing that there is such miscommunication between Raos in India and the directors at Ewood park. GB and the rest were sure that they were able to spend a few millions on a permanent transfer after the record sale of Wharton. Venkys eventually called in and said no. Highly unprofessional by Venkys. The Wharton sale seems pushed by Venkys

Understanding the timeline of the recent Duncan- transfer it all points to Pune and Venkys, though. His DOF-role has effectively been reduced to getting freebies and loans.

Solskjær is only accepting a job who has the right project.

Perfectly put

My understanding is that a permanent fee was agreed up until it was not... and a loan offer was offered late instead

In the post match interview JDT said that one of the signings last played in November, one signing has played 89 (to my memory) minutes in total this season and the rest were young loan players who need to get up to speed... He clearly is not happy

Reading the Athletic-article and LT it is quite evident that that the deal for Duncan McGuire was originally agreed by Waggot and Broughton. Mid-air, and upon clearance, Venkys pulled out. No money from the Wharton sale would be spent on transfers. Scrambling, they instead offered to loan McGuire after managing to sell Ennis for 500-600k. Interestingly the same amount as the loan-fee for McGuire.

Imagine Liverpool blocking Klopp from speaking at a press conference straight after a dissapointing transfer window without any explanation? The media speculation from hundreds of media outlets would be intense and damning. Columns, pundits etc would speculate and put 2 and 2 together. In Rovers' case LET has only briefly mentioned it. I would expect more from LET. LET should critisize and question the owners/Waggot. That would be proper journalism

Viking defender David Brekalo set to sign for Orlando https://www.tv2.no/direkte/0nr51/sportsdognet-live/65bbbd5f3ad0ab67609742be/tv-2-erfarer-enighet-om-brekalosalg

I miss Harry Redknapp's car window interviews on deadline day

It is unfortunate that the Wharton transfer came so late. Clubs are usually more unwilling to part with players late in the window seeing as they themselves need to find a suitable replacement before the window shut. ...Unless Rovers are trying to buy players who are out of favour or not used (prospects)

Sound from Rovers stream is laggy. Anyone else experiencing it?

Haha, that would have been delightful!

Thanks for checking this up!

Thanks!

Does anyone know the best way to buy tickets to Newcastle - Brentford? (I'm vising UK that weekend, attending the Rovers - Boro match first, then taking the train up north to Newcastle)

I'm very content with our midfield options. Travis, Wharton, Sammie, Buckley, Trondstad (who I'm sure will grow into the pace) and Garret means strength in depth! I thought JDT's substitutions were perfect today. I am also happy that we kept pushing till the very end (9 additional minutes, mind!). Speaking of which, the added-added time means more total minutes on the squad throughout the season. It is evident that having the right numbers of players available is important!
