Got to love this guy sometimes. He calls it out

 

"The project has changed totally. Now, there are still days left so we should give the club the chance to bring players in.

"We need players with experience and goal-scorers. It hasn't changed. "It will be exciting, I am looking forward to this week. I am excited to see what the club can bring in."

My initial thought just from reading that is that he's goading them and applying some pressure at the same time. I like it. I get the feeling he views those above him in a similar way that many of us on here do.

The quote reads like how we would sarcastically say "we can't wait to see which exciting things happen in the last few days of the window". Whilst having a fair idea it's going to be a load of shit and nothing to get excited about.

I'll have to watch the interview to see how it was said. Good on him though, for putting the spotlight above him.

I am certain JDT is 100% in the picture about what Broughton and his team are working on.

If JDT is feeling excited, I am allowing myself a little twinge.

If JDT is genuinely excited and in the loop then i feel the start of a chubby…

JDT not being allowed to speak to press by the club!! 

[Craigman]

Has he gone? Walked or sacked?

Does not sound good at all. Sounds like a falling out and we know what it will be over. Not what the club or new players need.

[nbdrovers]

i wonder if sweden have been on hold til the end of the window 😬

[lsp82]

Elliot Jackson saying it looks like a club decision that he won't speak at presser today. Read into it what you will. 

[BankEnd Rover]

Probably because JDT would have said what we’re all thinking. 
 

The board won’t want us to know the truth (which we already know)

[Trinidad Rover]

Another reason to appreciate JDT. Speaks the truth and what we are all thinking.

Where does this end?

Probably with another Owen Coyle and relegation

Frustratingly this will fuel so much speculation and drama which isn't what we need. How I miss being a normal football club. 

I don't believe he has walked nor that he has been sacked. Poor way to handle it though.

What do you understand to be the reason then? You're usually on the pulse I think...

I don't know in all honesty but resignations and sackings usually get leaked beforehand. There hasn't been a hint of either

Not those on Twitter or Facebook. Pre-this news they were all jolly and positive. Summer warchest incoming, get behind the lads FFS.

I’ve HEARD last night that JDT was fuming about Wharton leaving as the entire way of playing was built round a central pivot point. Unhappy with the signings and the club probably (my guess) knew that in the current circumstances his interview wouldn’t be well received by fans and would only cause more negativity. He was not a happy man last night apparently.

[rigger]

JDT is the guest of honour at the Whalley chippy opening, so can't make the presser.

[JHRover]

I hope he resigns and announces to the world the reasons why.

Might make one or two in the fanbase wake up and would draw the architects of our problems into the spotlight.

[Swanson]

I bet he was promised other/better players than what came in the doors yesterday. Clearly not happy.

[matt83]

Of course he isn’t going to be happy. Lost one of our best players and got in a load of crap.

I know it’s pretty obvious what it’s about. People need to remember he can’t walk as he’s in a contract, however he can be sacked…That’s not going to happen if we don’t have any money.

[Mattyblue]

‘What’s his problem? He got loads of players in, needs to stop moaning’ is the crux of the Twitter replies to Elliot Jackson.

[RoversClitheroe]

Fair play to JDT, awful transfer window.

They need to stop moaning if we keep losing then.
