Stuart Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Thanks for the update Chaddy.??You mean Nixon, surely. If the only links we are going to get - and it now seems we have gone from 'Nixon has a good relationship with Koyle' to 'Nixon is exclusively the source of transfer information' especially when ANY other gossip is run by Nixon first and a decision posted - then we may as well close this thread and everyone can just follow @reluctantnicko on Twitter instead. No wonder the traffic is light Gav.
Beta Ray Bill Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Today's update from Mystic Al ... "I see someone from Scotland, two men from England, and a random guy from Europe. And a Chaddy from Blackburn will be celebrating tooooo-oooo"

No wonder the traffic is light Gav. It's not a view I subscribe to, seeing as we've had transfer related updates from Kamy, neophox, Mani and odd snippets from around 4 other non-regular posters in the last month or so. Chaddy posts links from a variety of sources. It just happens that Nixon is very active on Rovers. Whether he is right or wrong is not chaddy fault. Stop shooting the messenger and skim past it like the majority do. It's getting very tiresome for us mods to deal with. Yes the Nixon updates get irritating at times (even to me), but posts like this which suggest some untoward (and unsubstantiated) effect are more annoying, especially as they seem to be aimed stopping chaddy from posting rather than anything else.

I don't not want the transfer thread to be the EXCLUSIVE passing of messages from Nixon. I'm disappointed that you do.I'd like a second opinion from a different mod please. Is this the BRFCS we want?

I'd like a second opinion from a different mod please. Is this the BRFCS we want? It isn't that there just isn't much news from elsewhere I'm sure just yesterday we discussed Ryan Taylor, Steven Taylor, O'Hara, Kanacilic, Frimong, Sanogo, Hutchinson and others none of which were mentioned by Donald from Benidorm I also think it's a self fulfilling prophecy - such highlight has been brought on Chaddy and Nixon that any time it's mentioned someone has to comment on it being chaddy and Nixon and create more Chaddy / Nixon posts.

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted June 10, 2016 Moderation Lead Posted June 10, 2016 I don't not want the transfer thread to be the EXCLUSIVE passing of messages from Nixon. I'm disappointed that you do. I'd like a second opinion from a different mod please. Is this the BRFCS we want? I'm as big a critic of Nixon as anyone, believe me. However, as historically, Nixon is close to Coyle, it stands to reason that a good % of the rumours that come about these days will originate from him. Sad but true unfortunately.
MCMC1875 Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Too much CoD if you ask me. Shame really. I'd go on but, well, you ain't seen me, right? Who said that? Now stop now, stop or I'll shoot!!
davulsukur Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Although i'm inclined to agree, in the opening post of this thread Nixon claimed we were close to signing 2 players and we had a good day. 16 pages later and we've signed no one. In fact he's reduced it down to now saying 1 is as good as done.

Backroom DE. Posted June 10, 2016 Backroom Posted June 10, 2016 Of course, i knew that........... We'd probably be down to about three pages if you took the arguing about Nixon out of the thread...
Rover_Shaun Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 It's been nearly 9 hours. We need our next Nixon fix
dallydally Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 It's been nearly 9 hours. We need our next Nixon fix No - its Nixon that needs fixing!!
gumboots Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Actually it's not. It's the fact that Chaddy posts everything Nixon says as though it's gospel truth. There was a time when I read Nixon's posts on here with interest. Now I'm not bothered, I've got Chaddy on ignore and I've resigned myself to transfers being underwhelming in the extreme. Life is much better.

No wonder the traffic is light Gav. I don't read the papers if I can help it, so snippets posted on here are great, I appreciate chaddys input as do many others. If anyone else wants to post snippets from other sources they're more than welcome to do so, it shouldn't be a problem, it's a messageboard after all. As I said people have lost sight of what this sites all about.
tomphil Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Any incomings will probably be covered by out goings similar to Rhodes out for 9 mill & 4 loans in costing about 1 mill. That pattern has been set now I think.

That pattern has been set now I think. I think we'll lose Duffy, Hanley or Marshall before the end of the season, we may even see 1 of them go before the season starts. I read from several posters that they believed Venkys didn't want to 'waste money' by giving it to Lambert, we're about to find out if that was fact or bunkum, I suspect the later.
Rover_Shaun Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 As I said people have lost sight of what this sites all about. Can you blame them? After all the club has
Hasta Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Has Marshall gone to Fulham yet? No? That's cos Nixon makes stuff up. I might as well make a twitter account guessing at transfers and then one of you can keep quoting me in here.

Roverthechimp Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 We only need 2 threads on this board - 1 for Rovers Fans (like Me) to discuss football and 1 to write Venkys out. I don't dö Twitter or get uk papers - chaddys "Nixon watch" is quite fun as it highlights just how much bs is in the papers and occasionally gets things right. Suspect duffy will be the player to leave - no idea who we will Sign (hence why ANY speculation on here is interesting)
gumboots Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I don't do twitter generally and I don't read the papers either and I don't mind the Nixon snippets except when Chaddy types them a) as though they contain more than 1%truth and 99% speculation and spin, and b)as though the players suggested will somehow be the greatest thING since sliced bread as soon as they sign for Rovers. If he merely typed the link it would be less of an issue. I could then ignore it as I have him on ignore. He winds me up and I say nastier things than I'd say normally and that can't be right so I'd rather be able to ignore Chaddy totally
