Probably a Venkys stooge stalling the Wharton one to make sure it goes through as late as possible today (and therefore no replacements)

I think from memory in the last window Chaddy was using it in every post (hence the previous post). Some sort of vague memory of that. (When the only twists and turns were down the snake and never up the ladder for Rovers)

These supporters are now an active deterrent for this Football club. They are assisting in the death of the club we all love. They may have season tickets, go to youth games, buy all 3 shirts every season, but, if they’re still supporting these owners then they are a huge part of our demise. Imagine these clowns trying to sell us. It would take forever and they’d pull out last minute over some minute bollocks. It’s never going to end is it.

It’s a photoshopped image everyone - he does this when he announces the signings before the clubs.

Only one is selling the club but we wouldn’t be that lucky!!!

But but but but but without them we’d become a Bury. Fuck Off Venkys

Liked by his Mum, unless she’s just basing it on that mls journey tweet too. I’d say that’s another all mighty cock up by the shambles that is our club.

yes that is what I was trying to say - sorry if it was poorly articulated. Was based on ‘loan now buy later’. Ie if we’re going down that route then it is going to be spread over a few windows. Not expecting £10m-£15m to be spent in the last day or two of this window.

I pretty much said all that in the original post. I’m not talking about spending all that in January as I was replying to the ‘loan now buy later’ policy. Regardless, we’re getting £23m over the next few windows plus a potential £4m eventually. Besides, surely anyone we buy runs off the same principle of ‘instalments’ so the point is moot. We need to be spending over 50% of that if we have any ambition of promotion - isn’t that meant to be ‘the model‘?

Ah yeah sorry this wasn’t specific to January - was around the ‘loan now with a view to buy in Summer’ so essentially over the two windows. Making £12m profit on player sales and wages being relatively flat versus past championship years when you consider outgoings - FFP shouldn’t be an issue. If it is we’re not going to put £25m+ of transfer funds into our pot ever 3 years are we so we might as well close up shop now

What do you mean, we can get a good 11 years out of him from 26 😄

£22m Wharton + £5m Raya sell on - appreciate nobody knows all the details of when the Wharton money will arrive but we’ve got £27m coming in before we even sell Dolan or Gallagher over the next few windows

All this loan now with buy in the summer stinks of spending the £5m from Raya we’re getting in the summer while the Wharton cash goes straight into the black hole. Let’s be honest, we should be spending £15m of that £27m at least across various positions.

If it plays out that we spend none / a fraction of the Wharton fee (not to mention Raya fee), and even that doesn't open the eyes of the social media sad acts then god help us all. Nothing will stop them licking the boots of our moronic overlords

Also given the fact there was a flight from Cancun landed at 8am and the players Mum is liking all Rovers content on social media, it's decent odds on that he landed in Manchester and any one of us could be that "ITK". The bloke is a Nixon parody.

Yeah and I agree with that 2nd part, but you hardly want your highest / 2nd highest earner to be that guy

On the other end of the spectrum - why would we want to keep a top earner if JDT doesn’t think he’s good enough to start?

McGuires mum liking multiple Rovers posts, including random fans. He’s coming to us surely otherwise that’s a bit weird. Flight from Cancun landed in Manchester this morning - odds on he was on it.

He’s 19 - we’ve had Venkys for 13(?) years now. He knows no different than the shambles we are.

It’s likely. But he’ll get 6 months with them, then they either stay or Palace have £100m to buy some more juice to play around him. Add the £50k(?) a week or whatever the going rate is these days and it’s a cracking move for him. Just a shame as there is no reason Rovers shouldn’t be in the capable position that Palace are in now.

Looking like we’ll have Burnley, PNE and Bolton next season. Waggot will be chuffed, Lancs police less so.

That Palace team has some serious talent, I can’t believe they still have Roy there - what an absolute waste. Wharton should be relishing being the creator for the likes of Olise, Eze and Edouard.

Yes a good shout and I should have added that too 👍

Would be an improvement on Ennis and Telalovic from Gregg.

Broughton has done an okay job. Nothing amazing, and not a disaster which are the extremes often discussed on here. Very similar to almost every other club in Football. Szmodics - obviously a big yes please Trondstad - almost all of us agree we like the look of him Hyam - has some limitations, but a solid enough championship defender for sure, would look good with a big presence next to him Brittain, Moran, Hill, Sigurdsson, Morton, Thomas - nothing amazing but none are shocking, would all make our squad, Moran should step up to the level above in time, Sigurdsson looking good on paper but needs to deliver more. Wahlstedt, Ennis, Mola, Telalovic, Hirst - The worst of his bunch, the worrying part is 3 of them are strikers. They are barrel scrappers though with no budget. Chrisene, Ayari - No idea yet It's just a mixed bag, nobody can argue with that. He's had his hands tied, and I think the only big negative on him is his failure to bring in a striker (and the O'Brien stuff though I'm sure multiple people are to blame there). Other than that it's fairly as expected. He's also not scared to move out players on bigger wages who aren't at a promotion standard like Buckley and Travis (yes people will say he's moved to 2nd place in the league but he is not a Top 6 player and his lack of appearances now will confirm this in due course) and then moving on the younger lads who are miles off it like Markanday, Butterworth and Vale on loans. We're not in the days of Mowbray extending Elliott Bennetts contract and playing him full back because he's one of the lads.
