I hope you’re including Tomasson in that. This is his team out there today

Moran has been poor for many weeks, should be on the bench. Team needs changing half time

You got it right this sentence. They were afraid of what he might come out with. I still doesn't make much sense though because presumably he'll have his say when he leaves, which could be today according to some

We all know Venkys take very little interest in what happens at Ewood, unless money is involved And we all know who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the club. The latest farce is yet another example of their incompetence and poor decision-making. The club could function properly, even with our arrogant, absentee owners. But these aren't good people in the Ewood boardroom. That must be obvious

253 all out and another mountain to climb. England got away with it in the first Test but batting fourth is unlikely to happen again. The Times made England favourites to win the second Test which never made much sense

The mess at Rovers isn’t all down to Venkys. This is down to the amateurs and incompetent management in charge at Ewood. It’s not unusual sadly. Tomasson has had an eye opener over the past 2 seasons on how this declining little island operates.

If Tomasson does go I hope Broughton goes with him. I don’t like the dual role model and would prefer a traditional manager in charge of player recruitment and the team. Broughton as far as I can see has added little extra value in the players he’s recruited, one or two good ones but plenty of duds too.

The rumours don’t sound right. Managers who know they are going don’t normally hang on for one more game. They walk away and don’t look back. Let’s see but I’d be surprised if he left after the QPR game

How can If he's going I'm sure he'd go on his own terms and resign rather than be sacked. None of this is a surprise though: this window must have been the final straw for him

Cheer Gregg. Another corker

It's a surprise he's still here to be honest. I thought he would have walked by now. He can't need the money so I'm not sure what's keeping him at Ewood except pride and perhaps a desire to see the season out. I also don't understand why he puts up with the coach / DoF model either. He's be far better for himself and the club as an old fashioned manager with responsibility for signings and coaching

This transfer window has been a sticking plaster over our structural problems to get us through the next 4-5 months. What they've done is kick the can down the road, in others words put off hard decisions until the summer. They're hoping the court case resolves itself and the club can perhaps move forward. But there's a possibility that it won't - and we'll still be in this same situation in the run-up to next season. As it stands, with so many loanees and the squad constantly in flux, there will need to be another rebuilding job in the summer, possibly searching for a new manager too. And so it continues

I'd have taken any money on offer for Gallagher. The Ennis is fee is baffling but welcome. He's lucky he's still a professional footballer

With money on the table we should have let him go to Ipswich. He had a good game against Wrexham by his standards but just doesn't offer enough at Championship level and I don't see the point in keep picking him with this new US lad on the books. Did Leonard go out on loan anywhere? He certainly needs to because he's another who struggles in the Championship

Fleck is 32 and the Coventry loanee 37 so you have to say the need for some experience in the squad has been addressed. Fleck's arrival should mean JRC can stay on the right flank, where he is best. Wharton has gone but add in the American lad and getting money for Ennis and the window could have been worse. Let's see how it goes

From the BBC Said Benrahma's loan move from West Ham to Lyon has collapsed. They say everything had been agreed but West Ham forgot to enter information in Fifa's transfer software. Does Broughton work for West Ham too?

Why assume they'd go if we were relegated?

Two conkers and a dead frog maybe. I don't understand why Stoke would pay anything.

So goodbye to Niall Ennis. Have to say I've never seen a player look so disinterested / unfit / lacking in ability in a Rovers shirt - and there's been a few candidates over the years. Ennis was a Broughton "discovery" I believe. Thank you Gregg.

Why have a DoF, really? It's a waste of a wage and I'm sure Tomasson could do the job and come up with better players too.

Have Palace released the Wharton money yet? Broughton needs 50p to feed the electricity meter to make the fax machine work

Gregg says fans will be very excited with this player. So let's be thankful

Wolves midfielder Joe Hodge is set to join QPR on loan for the rest of the season too

The post wasn't about us but the bigger picture of the ridiculous nature of the transfer window

Another hour gone and still nothing confirmed. Why do we have to go through this agony? Time to abolish the transfer windows and go back to the old system
