With McGuire, it could come down to timing of funds too. They will obviously need money up front to pay for him. Without being privy to exactly how these things work, if the Wharton money doesn't arrive in time, they wouldn't be able to proceed even if a deal could be rectified."

Does Jackson really believe his own bullshit?

A clever way of framing the narrative according to the party line. Preparing the fans in advance. What does that quote say to me?

It is:

a) The Wharton money didn't arrive on time.

b) As a result of the above, Rovers could not sign McGuire and other intended targets.

Can almost guarantee that Wharton to Palace will be announced close to the deadline and the likes of Jackson, Nixon etc will jump on that as being the reason for a failed deadline day. Nothing to do with the owners. Oh no. All to do with the Wharton money arriving too late.

The party line is clear to see.

Nixon

 

None of that makes any sense.

We wanted him, agreed fee with his club, told him not to travel because of a snag, he travelled anyway, snag didn’t happen, he got here.

Now don’t want him?

What is this nonsense? Is he on the naughty step for travelling when we told him not to?

[broadsword]

Thought I'd be mental health positive last night and swerve the forum for a bit.

But fuck me, next thing I know, I get a news notification this morning that we pulled out of the McGuire deal mid flight.

Venky's and their acolytes have dragged this club through the dung. Long gone are the days when we could be proud to support this club.

Adam going brought me low, but pissing players about like that, that is an absolute fucking disgrace. I just can't believe it. It just gets worse and worse. What a clown show.

There's always so much irony involving Rovers and the LT it's comical.

Young Elliot whilst bemoaning on behalf of Rovers will be getting wood at the prospect of his team nicking a signing Rovers were all but about to finalise.

Dont forget all the press shots parading Wharton in Palace garb will be done outside in daylight just to rub salt into the wounds... Too late my arse

Comical but very sad!

Imagine gaining £22m and then the transfer budget is £0 😂 the Rovers way.

Just cut the sh*t fella. We're not in the race. He costs money. The owners have pocketed it. Just patronising at this point. Put your balls on the line and start asking where the money has gone, ask some real questions and be a f*cking journalist.

If any people still make excuses for Venkys after all this, they should change their season tickets for Turf Moor or be psychiatrically evaluated. They're either self denying Burnley fans or so devoid of seeing reality they're mad. Making excuses for the Raos and saying they're good as they pay the bills is like being stabbed and saying "well at least I wasn't shot in the head." 

We will be in the National League before these detestable rats sell the club.

Considering we had agreed terms with orlando and are the sole reason for Mcguire being in the country the logic doesn't really add up to me.

Wharton deal hit a snag so we informed orlando the deal currently isnt possible. Snag has been resolved and yet we are not going back to complete the deal. Something is amiss.

Amiss ... no shit sherlock.  Only  been amiss since that greasy fat bastard walked on the pitch with his sweaty moobs on show

Are they really trying to say that this lad has done an intercontinental Odemwingie?

By a 'journalist' (quotes as I don't know if he is or just an Orlando fan) who probably had no idea who we were 3 days ago.

 

Yet our local reports from radio and print cry wolf on behalf of Venkys. 

[BankEnd Rover]

From the oxford forum. Lets hope he doesnt lead us on like he did with Blackpool to then turn around last minute and stay.

£1.5m- £15m in 6 months!! Wow fantastic business by Boro!!!

Wish we would behave in this way

[arbitro]

Broughton and his recruitment team have made a great play about their scouting and how they have various lists in case some transfers break down.

We must be on list X by now judging by some of the names being linked.
