McGuire deal off. 

Any idea why?

[Andy]

You can only hope that it means we have someone better lined up...

 

[J*B]

We’ve chased McGuire all summer. We’ve convinced him to join us over Sheff Wednesday. We’ve put him on a transatlantic flight then changed our minds mid flight? 

What is wrong with this football club? Where are our standards? This is not how we should operate, it is embarrassing.

Poor lad flying across the Atlantic for nothing.

He'll sign for Sheffield Wednesday now you'd assume.

Holy fuck how can you treat people like that?

What you got to say about this one "Greg"?

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

How about now?

(I feel like I’m interrogating you 😁)

Hope so for the player's sake.

Either hearsay or we've agreed a deal with someone better, this guy looks a huge risk.

Or they're totally inept and signing nobody

I’d wager everything I own that it’s the latter.

Morally fucking bankrupt if we have changed targets whilst the poor lad is on a fucking transatlantic flight.

Yes. We've signed an 85 year old striker called wrinkly kickabout

Yeah, agreed - thought the same after I'd posted that.

Very, very strange thing to do.
Even by Rovers' standards.

*Edit - if it's true, obviously.

Hope he scores a lot for Sheffield and they stay up in our place, might get rid of these clowns 

[Polky]

Not sure what’s worse?

The deal collapsing or Nathan Jones being right?

[Roverite94]

it’s beyond embarrassing at this point, the same shit time and time again

[TheRevAshton]

We are an absolute embarrassment, shambolic behavior this.

If this turns out to be correct, I won’t set foot in Ewood again whilst those muppets are in charge.

Even if this (if he exists) target is a better option?

It's a disgrace.

[CD_93]

This club.

This fucking club.

These fucking feckless owners and the shower of shite they employ.

100%.

But then again if you can stop a poor kid from being a mascot because they can't buy an up to date shirt because you've run out of stock, maybe not so surprising.

Unless Whartons pulled out no way should this deal be pulled

I liked Yates at Blackpool, I'm not saying he wouldn't be a good signing, although apparently Swansea would be happy to cut their losses already, which casts a bit of a doubt.

I just think I'd rather stick with Gallagher personally, if he's fit I'd say he's quite a bit more accomplished, and experienced at Championship level. 

It's all about opinions. 

It certainly is because in half a season he's scored 7, in another poor team.

If only Ennis or Telalovic had managed that.

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