He came on at half time! (for Stoke)

Qpr make a triple sub. JDT being reactive rather than proactive again?

Won't be long before he gets one right though

We aren't great either though. Gotta win this to put some good distance between us.

Looks like Moran is taking Wharton's role. Not sure about that personally.

McGuire aside, all other new signings look to be in the squad at least

It seems the 2 new defenders have been identified for one thing only. To head the ball. McFadzean is a big ol' unit and the Liverpool lad was asked what his best attributes were and his response was heading/winning aerial duels "if the ball is in the air, it's mine" (something along those lines)

It just shows the level of incompetence we have at senior level, that they can't get something as straightforward as this correct.

Because if that was the explanation, there is no issue with saying that. It's also been confirmed it's the club's decision, not the managers.

Feels like there is an awful lot of disharmony around the place now. This never ends well. Reckon we will get comfortably beaten tomorrow as the club just feels like it's in total chaos.

Venkys don't do Insubordination. They'll find the money (to the detriment of the club)

This can't happen very often at other clubs? Clearly, he's fuming. He would be asked at a presser about the window/sale of Wharton and clearly the club weren't going to like the answers he was going to give. This is the endgame for JDT now, he'll either walk or get sacked within the next few days.

Not sure Fleck will be all that tbh. Sounds like he's finished at any reasonable level. (Probably why Sheff Utd gave him to us)

This seasons Lewis O'Brien. We've royally fucked this up and now we are in a no win situation. We've paid a "hefty" loan fee, so if the guy bombs, we've paid loads for a crap player and if he comes in and bangs in loads of goals, we've accepted a much higher permanent transfer fee, which we clearly can't afford. Run by total clowns 🤡

The sale of Wharton clearly points to one thing now and thats to reduce the amount of money needed to be put into the club the owners. Fairly certain GB is on record as saying this was one of the aims. And now they have an upfront lump sum from Palace and the rest paid over installments over the next few years that plan is already in motion. Board/Sulhail/Waggott blocked any transfers costing a fee almost instantly, meaning any incoming money is earmarked for something else, most likely the running costs for the rest of the season. We won't be spending much in the summer and we'll need a hell of a lot of players coming in.

A truly abysmal window. All we've done is paper over the cracks. IF we stay up, it's likely due to the players we already had prior to the window. So, the plan all along was to sell Wharton and spend nothing. "The project" has been a smokescreen.

So the Wharton money will now just evaporate and we'll have forgotten all about it come the summer?

A free transfer to boot, so like keeping that powder dry then.

Straight out of left field,John Fleck signs until the end of the season

Looks like we're getting 1 more in

So central midfield has gone from being one our strongest areas to being a huge fucking concern in the space of 3 days. McGuire is an interesting signing (albeit another loan!) but JDT will start Gallagher for the foreseeable I suspect. Ennis leaving for Stoke on a permanent transfer is weird after giving him a 4 year contract and he's been deemed not good enough after a few months.

I don't know why the pride line keeps getting pushed (no offence to you) I've worked with Indians for years and they take very little pride in their work. Happy to send stuff half done/poorly done and when stuff goes wrong they just bury their heads in the sand or you just get radio silence (sound familiar?) It's definitely No.2, and it must be a tyrannosaurus size skeleton for them to hold on for 13 years (like them going to prison, basically) They would have absolutely no issues with dropping us, regardless of what state we are in or how bad it made them look otherwise.

Who the fucks this Liverpool kid? Played about 15 games in total for 2 clubs no one's ever heard of. Absolute barrel scraping.

This is code for, this deal isn't happening.
