That *was* the January Window

[Hi Mack]

Lewis O’Brien part 2.

Our name must be mud in the footballing circles.

Wharton deal has not collapsed as of a few hours ago. 

If we sell Wharton and don't bring in at least a couple of players...

[RoversClitheroe]

@TheKitGuy Laurence Shankland the target then? 

[Polky]

Could you imagine JDT right? I bet he’s fucking fuming.

[den]

Maybe that 37yr old we signed could give it a go up front?

Unless Whartons pulled out no way should this deal be pulled

That, or having a better target suddenly available, are the only acceptable reasons (and the latter is still pretty shitty to the player). If the rumour is true.

Not sure what’s worse?

The deal collapsing or Nathan Jones being right?

Well Jones did also tweet that he’d landed this morning, chancer

McGuire deal off. 

Did you hear this from someone reliable who isn't Tom Bogert? And did you hear why?

If true, what a shambles.

He'll walk as will GB as a fuck you to the board and owners.

No, I took it from Bogert’s X account.

I'm confused, do you not think that's his name? (Tbf it's not, it's a double-G at the end)

Apologies. I'm equallyconfused why you think that's important.

I think it's rather more important that he would appear to be fucking useless. The only way in which we can salvage a bit of self respect  from this is if someone better has suddenly become available AND we land him.

Still leaves a sour taste though.

Been out for a few hours. I assume we've not signed anyone except a 37-year old defender?

One of them might.

Unbelieveable, or maybe it's par for the course

Tomasson must be pissed off in the extreme

 

[RTM08]

If this is true then the campaign against Venkys needs to step up. If we can't spend any money, even when we sell players for record fees, there is literally no point in the club existing. 

Absolutely unbelievable, but at the same time absolutely what I expected to happen.

[Gamst21]

What a joke of a football club we have become. I can’t believe it’s happened again. Last year was bad enough with O’Brien but for them to do it again! This one feels worse with McGuire flying across the world for nothing. It’s unforgivable from the board.

Deal collapsed with the American lad, according to an MLS insider called Bogert.

We've looked at a lad out of favour at Nantes but not put in an offer.

Not much else.

This is @Kamy, formerly of this parish, who doesn't spread shit.

I hope to gid this is false otherwise I think i'm done!!

fuck off u chicken murdering bastards!!

[Miller11]

Collapse all the deals please Gregg. I’d happily go with what we’ve got and keep Wharton.

I know, I know, he’s gone… but this is giving me a sliver of false hope that Adam is now staying. I know I’m setting myself up for a fall, but I can’t help it. I know it’s just our usual incompetence that causes nothing but misery deep down.

The window closes at 11pm on Thursday night, not tonight.

[Inferi]

Not convinced by McGuire although highlight clips obviously doesn't paint a fair picture of what he could offer. But if it's true that everything was agreed and we pulled out at this stage it's obviously a total disgrace. Not that we should be surprised considering our horrific owners. Even if we get someone in the building we should remember that the same clowns who oversaw the last january transfer window are still employed, ready to fck up once more.

Best case scenario Wharton is staying. That would be great.

If it's true and we have pulled out of the deal for the American then for all we know there could be a good reason that benefits/affects our club i.e. someone better, terms were unrealistic, Wharton deal off so can't afford it. I'll wait for some clarification before assuming the worst.

I'll assume the worst considering the 13+ years of ineptitude.
