A happy clapper will be saying this isn't the Club's fault! In fact there's a post on the LT site calling fans "ungrateful" for criticising the staff who've stuffed this up. They worked night and day to pull his transfer off and all they get is hostility! He concluded that Rovers staff will be wondering why they bother! PS---was going to paste that post but it isn't there anymore!

Ever since Venkys bought the Club, we've been winging it. Everything left to the last minute. It was bound to bite us on the bum eventually.

This shambles has exposed the chaos at the heart of our club like no single episode in the last few years. If we can't get even the clerical work right with the potential to wreck the Transfer Window and, indeed, the season, what chance have we got of ever being a viable club again? This is down to Venkys. They own the club but apparently it leave to others they've appointed to carry out the day to day responsibilities but where is the accountability? Make no mistake, heads should roll over this fiasco. There is simply no tenable excuse. I'm not holding my breath, I wonder if Venkys will even know or care. Utterly sickening, why do we bother?

Not always but too often. Would you try to argue we are a well-run Club? From Football League World: Even if those deals for O’Brien and Brierley are completed, the fact both players are midfielders means the window will close, without Blackburn signing a centre forward. That means that since the departure of then top scorer Adam Armstrong in the summer of 2021, Blackburn have signed just one senior forward, in the form of the aforementioned and now departed Hirst, who failed to make an impact during his stint at Ewood Park.

Because he wishes things could be different?

Never is with some on here.

Womething positive would be nice! Not expecting it.

Well he's got us in to the last sixteen. Mowbray couldn't manage that in 5 seasons!

Hang on to those straws mate.

Still haven't found a highlights video!

Yep. The only hope we have is that Brereton pulls his finger out, recovers his scoring form and doesn't get injured. That is a possibility I suppose......

Harsh!!

A rare opportunity to big myself up! 😂

More a scumbag.

Would not be surprised if we won this replay. We have a good record at Big Club. For some reason I don't understand, these things seem to matter! 1-2.

I take no notice of Twitter, waste of digital space.

If we're going to have a discussion about a player we've previously written off---how about Rankin-Costello?!! What's happening there? Plenty called for him to be shipped out! You never can tell eh!

I was one who criticised the manager for not giving him more playing time earlier! Because I felt we needed his skills. On reflection though I guess the manger knew more than I did!

Examples? I don't remember anyone saying he was finished. If any individual did, they got it wrong didn't they? Don't make out it was a widely-held view though.

They did but what's that got to do with now? We only have the resources if Venkys agree to expend them, surely? Given up trying to work Venkys out! Hide behind FFP is the Ewood motto these days.

That the squad is too thin is bourne out by the number of late goals we concede. Other teams bring on 3 or 4 with some time to go. They're fresh and make a difference. Meanwhile we hang on or bring on players who are worse. The January window destroyed our promotion hopes last season, it looks like it'll be the same outcome this season. We have the resources to remain in the Championship but no more than that. The sad truth. Very different than JDT promised when he arrived.

We needed a striker and a tough defensive central mid-fielder minimum. It looks like failure.

Sounds like the type of character that will do well there though!!

I was there on the Riverside. Freezing and dangerous!

Well the Ewood Revolution never took off did it? No difference between this Transfer window and those that went before.
