That was the narrative at the club.

Ooopsies

This was sarcasm

He's still there. Possible he goes. Someone has to.

Then why weren't they sent?

No....

Digital fax. Digital.

You're right. All the required forms were signed and sent to the correct places. Duncan Mcguire has been cleared to play and be registered as a Blackburn Rovers player. He's looking forward to playing against Stoke this weekend.

Nope

A digital fax my friend

More than likely a form of digital fax on a pc. Colloquially calling it a "fax machine"

Just a minor update... And one that has blown my mind. Some of the forms needed to register McGuire were lying on top of the fax machine and hadn't been sent. Whether these were visa, international clearance/registration I do not know. The club sent all relevant forms to the EFL and went ahead with the announcement. It wasn't until hours later that this was discovered thus creating the mess we are now in. I wish it was satire. An incredibly embarrassing situation that has created a whole host of finger-pointing and infighting. Heads will roll, it's just unclear which buffoon will be made the scapegoat.

There are always tactical decisions that leave you baffled no matter the manager. Trying Moran in the Wharton role is one of them.

Fleck on for Moran please

It's a relief Sinclair Armstrong is a poor footballer

Not at all.

There's certainly some form of complication but he will still be registered a Rovers player.

Just a formality I believe. Duncan is currently at Ewood for the game. This isn't a repeat of O'Brien.

This scenario.

I don't know. He lead training as usual. Club have decided against holding a pre match press conference.

No. The club have decided not to hold a managerial press conference for the QPR game. He will return to media duties after the game.

Thats my point. he hasn't been "prevented" or banned from speaking. Jackson's wording is horrible.

It's a nothing story. Really really poorly managed. Knowing full well the reaction it would have, its baffling the club handled it this way and didn't let people know through official channels that JDT wouldn't be talking. Jackson's wording hasn't helped things either. No plans on JDT leaving.

I don't know in all honesty but resignations and sackings usually get leaked beforehand. There hasn't been a hint of either

Frustratingly this will fuel so much speculation and drama which isn't what we need. How I miss being a normal football club. I don't believe he has walked nor that he has been sacked. Poor way to handle it though.
