MLS season runs from end of Feb to October, not sure how that would be a viable option for him, unless they can just do a deal till the prem season ends.

Unlike Nixon to cover all bases. Given Cooper said they’ll look after him, I could have written that!

'Creating' football stories.

The truth hiding in plain sight.

So Nixon's saying in the S*n rag that the LOB appeal has failed, but then when questioned on twitter he denies it's failed? 

I don't get the Nixon hate most of the time, but I do today!

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....

I reckon it’s the former, hence the confusion.

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.

I remember getting banned by him by asking an innocent question

Nixon's guess work approach is to sell stories. Why would he know decision before Rovers do??

Yeah, he blocked me for politely pointing out a basic error in one of his Rovers ‘stories’.

Seems he’s not keen on being proven wrong and his guesswork being made obvious.

Today’s piece is a perfect example. Big headline that the appeal has failed, then when probes: ‘well, I’m just saying that it might fail, but it also might not…’

Most of us on here are blocked, he's a really odd character who acts like a baby as soon as you don't wedge your tongue up his arse.

It has to have failed - he'll miss the game on Weds too now.

That's 3 matches he could have played - gets to the point where the loan isn't worth it.

If by some miracle O'Brians loan was approved, who would pay his wages for the two weeks he hasn't been available to us ?

If by some miracle he is approved I think our lawyers should be onto the EFL around compensation. Three games without a top player simply isn't fair on us should they admit their mistake.

Why would we wait to announce? Do we have to wait for forrest etc to get things in order too?

I imagine it’s not happening but we simply arn't accepting it - We just need to put this to bed, could get embarrassing as it really shouldn’t of got to this stage in the first place - only ourselves to blame.

Nixon saying the decision is "odd to say the least "

Wonder if the loan has been given the go ahead but the permanent transfer deal scrapped ?

After all it's been confirmed that the initial paperwork was sent in in time, but the EFL then threw a spanner in the works by wanting this confirmation of what would happen if we were relegated ? Maybe they are accepting some responsibility ?

That's what I'm thinking. It could give the EFL the option of ratifying the deal whilst saving face. An option which suits all parties. If that is the outcome it would be peculiar, given the EFL's constant fear of litigation from other clubs.

A red-top journalist, who apparently knows the answer, is not going to spill the beans as it's for Rovers to announce. 🤔😁

He doesn’t have a clue then 😂

[roversfan99]

😂 he makes it up as he goes along, powered by the fumes of those who seemingly hang on his every word.

[K-Hod]

Nixon hedging his bets to keep the clicks coming in. I can’t believe it….
