Surely Nixon must have got wind of the outcome by now?

Given how many transfers they were able to successfully conduct in the summer, I’d say they were experts in getting deals over the line tbh….

Yes! Could you ever see us signing that number of players in a Transfer Window whatever the situation?

Going off his Twitter he doesn't think there has been an outcome yet.

Nixon is obviously getting his line from inside the club. I'm certain we purposefully leaked a couple of details to him. 

The club are still waiting therefore he'll know nothing. Even if it's been rejected I'm sure with the appeal being over the club would handle the press release themselves.

I said this yesterday, but I'm astounded this is still ongoing, but with completely the opposite feeling to deadline day when the more time elapsed the more certain I was that it wasn't going to go through, now the more time that elapses the more hopeful I am that it will.

He talks out of his arse. In my opinion.

So, Rovers made the appeal so the EFL will Rovers the outcome.

When Rovers will tell the outside world.....

Yes, of course they will as soon as they are told.

[Atko's Engine]

It has to be a close run thing for it to be taking so long, there can be no other explanation.

Like others I'm more confident than I was about appeal prospects. Whatever the outcome though, it's unfair that it has run into a 2nd game week, that can't be right.

Much of which ends up as a 'bit in the paper'.

Oh definitely our fault just saying that is one of the things the club is basing it's appeal on well according to Nixon anyway 

Got a link to Nixon's comments? I can't see them anywhere

The articles 'Costly slip of the pen' and 'Box ticking exercise foils Rovers'

Hypothetically, had the EFL met the predicted timeline for their decision and the deal been approved we could have had O'brien in the squad today. If it is rubber stamped that's two games he'll have missed due to their ineptitude. 

[Cherry Blue]

Delay by EFL is damaging their reputation.

If they got it wrong we can question their ability in running the organisation. If they got it right then what took then so long.

It's on his Twitter yesterday answering people's questions about it.

People must be at a real loose end to repeatedly message Alan Nixon on twitter, especially asking him for betting tips and speaking to him like he is their mate!

[yeti-dog]

Maybe so, but I don't understand why people get so angry about Nixon on here.

Yes, he's a bit of an old journalistic hack but no-one has to follow him on twitter and taking the piss out of others that do seems a bit childish to me.

Any Rovers fan who doesn't blow smoke up his rear on twitter gets blocked thats been going on a decade.  Doubt there are many left to abuse him and again it's nothing unique to Rovers fans.  Many other clubs sets of fans have him down as a major BS merchant as well.

Nixon goes through phases. And it's often pretty clear which phase he is in by the language he uses. He goes from very vague and hedging his bets to be very sure that something has happened. When he's in that mode he often has an inside line with a club or agent.

It goes with the territory of being an old school hack. He still has his uses in modern day football when a club or individual purposefully want to leak something. When they don't has to portray an illusion that he's still got his finger on the button.

Nixon article saying its blocked?

[AllRoverAsia]

I wonder if he's still on about the rejection of our appeal to the registration rejection OR our subsequent appeal to the rejection of our previous appeal to the registration rejection.

It surely can't be the latter, which would mean Rovers already know....

Just read that.

We knew it would be blocked, just annoying it's been strung out so long.

[ageoftherover]

It's the hope that gets you.

[Tugayisgod]

So, he doesn't know is what I get from this ..
