Why was it interesting? Is he being linked with us?

A past dingle player on radio lancs suggested Andre Gray was out of contract and exactly what we needed.

That's only your own personal opinion. The Club's in question obviously were not of the same view

We don't know for certain where we are or who is available or whether the Club have any genuine intentions of improving the squad at all.  All that is pure speculation at this stage.

All we know for certain is that we are in desperate need of reinforcements and none have arrived to date and we lost at home today.

Did Eustace say anything post match regarding transfers?

I think it could be make or break with Eustace this next few weeks if he is not backed he will be off and we will be back to square one.

He (and his agent) must be weighing up in their own minds whether or not he can afford to give Waghail the benefit of the doubt and leave it until the end of the window.

If he does and it's the usual predictable damp squib or disaster the WBA will probably have been filled by then and it may be a while before a job of similar stature arises again.

If he's able to repeat what he's done with Rovers at WBA then he'd get them promoted. A much better base from which to build from.

In the championship ? Jobs come along like buses.

He’s less confrontational than JDT, but the way he keeps repeating the need for enforcements and now also adding “we were favourites for relegation but look where we are” in pm interviews… we have seen this before, haven’t we..? I.e.:

1. He’s far from sure there will be any good additions to the squad this window.

2. He’s communicating his narrative which highlights to everyone (incl any potential future employers of his) how well he’s done with so few resources available - all very true but which also reflects well on him the day he’s had enough. 

Eustace is clever, collected, honest and obviously very good at what he’s doing - in complete contrast to the management and owners of the club - so should not expect him to stay for long.

The last few post-match interviews are quite revealing I think.

Not all as potentially attractive as the West Brom one though.

Lampard’s already up to the 17th longest serving manager in the championship.

He’s been at Coventry for 38 days.

How un attractive would they have to be for working for the Chicken Chokers be more attractive ? I couldn’t name one team in the championship.

Fair point - but I'd say WBA is one of the more attractive openings.

He hasnt been offered the West Brom job.

In the betting he is far from favorite 

[Penwortham Blue]

I wonder whether Swag will run with ‘Offenders are coming’ like Tony’s famous ‘Defenders are coming’ pledge 😊

[Rover1984]

Another name just seen on X Ethan Erhahon. Never heard of him.

Very decent, would certainly provide something we are missing.

Not doubting that part.

Doesn't preclude his agent from making the right noises though.

Yep,he's been giving the subtle messages out for over a month now but are the Clowns running the show getting it?

Anyone else having that de ja vue feeling..

Saw that before, thinks it's rubbish and was started from a fake account.

He's a CDM so that puts and end to it really.

Rumours his agent said he didn’t want to be approached as he’s happy at Rovers…….. pinch of salt

Searched his name and an article with an Everton striker appeared. Sounds like other’s suggestions rather than a link

It's just an opinion piece on who we should be looking

Hope the "rumours" are correct.

I have him pegged as someone who's fairly ambitious though, not someone like Mowbray who's only aim is to plod on and feather his nest for as long as possible.

The only plus is he’ll never get fired at Ewood. However if he is ambitious ?

yes based on my opinion. I see no-one who would have improved us. 

No quality striker has moved yet or left winger with pace. 

the window has opened 3 days ago and the first 2 weeks is slow cos clubs won't sell players until they get one in normally or others reasons. Yes, we would loved 3 signings in we wanted on day 1 of the window like Football Manager 24 but real life isn't that way
