Shaping up to be one of the worst windows in recent history given our league position, and revenue generated through player sales. 👍

Up against stiff competition as well…

There's also a big difference between getting in the playoffs and having what it takes to win them. We are simply miles off it, and it's largely a board mentality/ ownership issue.

After today I'm pretty confident there will be no hiding for them, from even the happiest of clappers.

I mean obviously you disagree and I don’t think his presence is notable but I think sometimes being a grown up means work commitments come before things you might want to do.

Nah…nothing significant was ever on the cards. I’d have done exactly the same in his shoes & I'm a Rovers fan…

Only up side is he posted this early, so I can now ignore any news for the rest of the day. See you all in the summer transfer thread.

It’s always better then. We’ll have had time to line up our targets and there will be money available as well.

What irritates me is Jackson stating we 'pushed very hard' for Danns.

He doesn't know that. He has been told that by a club employee. 

Some of them are liars and have arse covering to be doing as the inevitable January failings become clear.

Yet Jackson putting this sort of thing out in the media helps create the 'poor us we tried' impression.

It just isn't good enough and isn't acceptable, no matter what sob stories they spread.

Something something Akor Adams, something something Jeffery De Lange

Especially when more reputable journalists are stating we called them up and didn’t get past that stage.

We are just embarrassing.

It’s completely tragic how far we have fallen 😞

Another reason we should be pro active. 
yet certain individuals believe we should be waiting till the last hour to find the “best deals” 😂

This is heading to be the worst of all windows under this regime - and that's saying something.

I know this has been said many times but it just reiterates the point that for the 3rd year (or 4th?) in a row there is clearly no desire or ambition by the club management to make the top 6.

I'm not sure whether anger or resignation are the right emotions. Either way, fans (and the town) do no deserve this

Ironically on the Jackson/stag do controversy - I’ve taken the day off for transfer deadline day. Something about it made me think we were going to leave it late again. I think this time, we’ll probably end up doing nothing, despite leaving it extremely late already. I’m also squeezing in a medical procedure today, tbf, so it’s not a total waste of time. Every likelihood that I grab an Ole & Steen Stænger on the way home as well, because I’m quite cosmopolitan like that.

As many of us predicted last week, all the striker links were simply PR exercises so that the club can trot out the "we tried for some very good strikers" line tomorrow.

We're a tough out. If we got into the Playoffs I'd fancy my chances against anyone not named Sheffield United.

Oh we will leave it, we'll leave it alone....

If we find a goalscorer then we'd have an (outside) chance. I'd struggle to see us beating any playoff side over two legs as it's difficult to rely on them misfiring for 180 minutes and we will find it hard to score the 2-4 goals we would need to go through.

Morning Guys- fair warning, I've hidden a few posts where people are  really getting at each other and we don't need any of that.

Any more of that and there will be bans handed out unfortunately.

Appreciate that Venky's are sh1theads that constantly let us down, sell our best players and don't re-invest the proceeds, but we still need to show each other some respect.

Ta.

agreed! I wish sometimes us Rovers fans would be less at each other and more at the owners and respect everyones opinions.

I suggest you have a look at BTL comments on the LT pages…they live amongst us…👀

Can’t see it, ambitious clubs try do better than their current rivals, no way I’d be helping us out.
