January Transfer Window.

[StaffordRover]

I know it isn't much but I'm clinging on to the old adage that no news is good news. That, and the fact that Madon's mate wouldn't be so crass as to say the deals off if he didn't know differently. Yeah, having read my post again, I know I'm clutching at the last straw in the bale....

[Darwen Rover 007]

I think JDT comments last night probably summed up the situation... Pretty disgraceful the fans have been left hanging like they have... Communication is key, even if its bad news.

I’m convinced O’Brien is done, just hope there’s another with it 

[smiller14]

The worst thing is - when I went to bed last night I'd have been disappointed with just O'Brien.

Now we are staring down the barrel of nobody.

Feel for JDT if we don't strengthen, he'll feel he's had the piss taken. 

[den]

It’s all very strange.

Nothing at all on the official site, nothing at all from the LT - and last night Thomason said he knew nothing about transfers.

Makes you think there’s “something” going on, somewhere.

Keep an eye out for players having there contracts terminated. They can still sign for other clubs

[speedies gonna get ya.]

I'd settle for just O'brien now. As each minute passes I'm more and more convinced we didn't sign anyone. This is agony.

Only if their contact was terminated yesterday

“Other clubs” being the apt description, ie not Rovers.

Maybe that's the plan.

Almost beyond belief.

Think heads need to roll starting with Broughton's.  Made my views on him quite clear - way, way out of his depth.

A disastrous window.  JDT will be fuming.

Told a mate of mine here, that i wasnt sure about Broughton, just because ive seen many a man talk plenty of words well, and then is nothing more than a chancer. 

I mentioned in another post, that fans have become too relaxed over Venkys, just because they pop a few million now and then.

Just because I’m sure we’d have heard from the other end if it didn’t happen

I’m not currently a rational thinker, because it’s Rovers. However, I can’t shake the feeling that there’s an air of “who’s gonna tell them?” to the silence, an effect of people shirking announcing bad news.

For balance, the rational part of my brain is saying, “he did the medical yesterday afternoon, there’s no way they don’t file the paperwork immediately.”

Not me, mate.

No, fans have become "too relaxed" about the Venkys because they're cockroaches and won't die. 

They're determined not to sell the club and they have enough money / influence / power for their wishes to be adhered to, regardless of what thousands of lancastrians think.

Me neither. The only time I'll relax about them is when they f*** off.

[Neal]

I was told yesterday at 7.30pm that it was done... From a solid source.

It is death by a thousand cuts and we are on about 975, it’s been murder since they darkened the door.

[Northcote blues]

I’m a “happy clapper” but for me, for it not to be announced by now - it’s fallen through. Why would they wait this long?

Madon's mate?

[den]

It could be they’re waiting to unveil him before the press, it could be that there’s an unholy bust up, or it could be he failed the medical.

The other option is I don’t have a clue.

Not going to comment on transfers, just in case I have to eat my words lol

Let’s hope your source is right and the delay is that they somehow managed to get a striker and want to announce together. It’s the hope that kills you

Agreed. I've had to make a real effort to detach myself from them while still being a passionate fan of the club. It's been a strain and I still get the venkys flare-ups more often than I would like...
