Atmosphere at Ewood on Saturday is going to be toxic.

Is it heck, 20 lads shouting Venky's out, apathy has set in. Our fanbase don't know how to protest en masse, just don't have the amount of mobilised hard-core to make any impact. Go on the Burnley forums and you'll see a mirror held up to how pathetic it all looks.

He’s probably right. Until Wharton money hits the bank, nothing will happen. 

We pay the first installment on the same day we receive the first installment for Wharton...

 

How difficult is it?

It's coming by pony express. Really didn't think the club could fuck up more than the summer window but looks like they've managed it.

Last season for me as season ticket holder, they've finally worn me down

Exactly…These lot will get away with this until they decide it’s time to sell.

It's a cop out.

Facebook 'fans' will think it's fair enough we aren't spending a penny.

It feels to me like Wharton really didn't fancy the Palace move but Rovers have been pushing him as hard as they can and, possibly, using 'emotional blackmail' regarding the club's finances.

Despite the personal financial rewards, I don't think it's a good move for Adam and the only people to benefit are Venky's.

Palace are struggling now and will lose Eze and Olise in the summer, both are quite brilliant.

It may be that Palace will be in for a more difficult time next season.

I wish one of the top clubs has come for him.

I wish him all the best.

I wouldn't say it's bs, but it it stating the obvious. If we're reliant on funds from Palace to sign someone, and they don't complete the transfer and send money until 1050pm, we've no money to spend. Or certainly not the funds for a multi million pound transfer. 

A competent CEO says to Palace  “here’s the price, here’s the payment terms….down payment of £xm now in escrow to secure it on those terms” & then uses that to confirm to Orlando that they will get their money.

Wouldn't it have been priceless if Adam W had seen from last night's fiasco that Venkys had no intention of using the proceeds of his sale to strengthen the team his big brother will still play for, and simply turned round and said "if I'm being sold just to pay off the Venkys, the deal's off...."

[and yes I do know that it's professional sport, chance of premier league etc, but sometimes looking out for the family counts.......]

Interesting take from Nixon. Still absolute farce from the club but interesting that he's putting across as the player jumping the gun.

Wishful thinking is that a preferred option for a striker has now become available, but I bloody doubt it.

[TommyRovers]

Brannagan at oxford being looked at. However same situation as Mcguire. We don't have the wharton money....

[TugaysMarlboro]

I'm biting my tongue until after the deadline. Concerns grow for my tongues overall safety.

Possibly Leonard going the other way on loan could grease the wheels

Whats happening with the Wharton deal? It should had been completed by now or called off.

I absolutely don't understand this at all.

If the deal is being completed - we know the money is coming in.

We just arrange the payment plan around when we do have the money.

[CheshireRover]

On the plus side, this entire fuck up has brought their ownership into the mainstream of American sports media. Any other yanks fancy buying a Championship side?

Brannagan been linked before.... not the answer. will be 28 years old,  league one...

I believe we've had a bid rejected for Jamie Reid at Stevenage last night (info coming from their #ITK), and we're expected to make another bid...

Brannagan wouldn't be a bad signing -  He's towards the top end quality of League 1 and has a fair bit of experience.
