I'd still tend to believe that version of events. Even Sharpe acknowledged that Bournemouth passed on Rothwell in favour of Moore, which doesn't suggest their bid was rejected.

Possibly, who knows with all of these stories going around.

Need to give a bit of credit to Rich Sharpe who stuck with story that Rovers hadn’t accepted a bid from any club, after most of nationals were saying the opposite.

With all the Rothwell jibber jabber I've only just realised that Hedges was officially unveiled as our player yesterday afternoon

To be fair mate, yesterday it looked like I was right and you where wrong, but here’s the ‘latest’ I’ve just been sent:

Rovers played silly buggers. Same situation as Rhodes. Rothwell on his way down south, not quite in Bournemouth. Coming back now.

So you where right… again! Fair play.

Joe Rothwingie

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Anybody else get the feeling that they really wanted Cantwell all along and Rothwell was just a back up option if that fell through ? Once they got Cantwell in it was “ Thanks for coming Joe “.  I’m not buying it was a choice between Moore and Rothwell.

I'm not getting much work done this morning...😲

Regarding Giles it sounds like we need a player capable of playing left back. Who knows when Pickering will be back and it looks like Edun was kicked out of the Luton game.

Never a right or a wrong, things can change in a matter of seconds, especially if suddenly a Bournemouth player is heading to Rovers

It could also free things up to allow Edun back into the middle in front of the back 3, giving us cover for Travis or to allow Buckley to move forward. Could be a very good move for us if Pickering is still a few weeks away.

So here we are, nearly 10 am and so far Rothwell is having a lovely day out by the seaside but looks likely to be coming home tomorrow 

I went to Uni in Bournemouth, so Joe, if you did make it that far and if you're reading this mate, hit me up for some boozer recommendations.

Same. Never mind Rovers making signings I'm at risk of signing on at the JobCentre!

The point I was trying to make is that Edun could be injured after he limped off on Saturday. That leaves us with either JRC or the new right back to fill it at left back, neither an ideal choice.

Tony Mowbray to West Brom rumours continue to circulate on social media...

Where did all this mi-information come from yesterday? Bid accepted, Rothwell down in Bournemouth ready to sign...instead no bid accepted and probably around the training ground today.

Great move by the club to keep him. What is £3m worth to a club for one of your best players when you're going for promotion. It's peanuts. 

But if he’s unsettled and the rest of the team are pissed off with him, then the “all in this together attitude” that’s taken us so far has gone.

I can’t help feeling no-one comes out of this well. We should have made a decision early and stuck to it as in “Joe you’re not going till summer and that’s it”.

Seems like the owners did but either it wasn’t communicated strongly enough or someone didn’t take enough notice.

This might well be a determining episode in our season and hard to recover from. Will take a huge piece of man management to achieve our goal now, I hope everyones up for it.

I never for one second thought that this rumour would have me seriously concerned that if it happens we would be  f7cked. What a season this has been.. 

Imagine who we would end up with!

Imagine after all this with Rothwell it's Mowbray who buggers off just after deadline day 😂

[Neal]

Morgan Rodgers I think.

Darrenrover posted the other day that we had bid for a Bournemouth player
