Thompson is the joint owner. This actually does look promising!

??????

Top man. Appreciated. I’m off to slaughter that belter Mconnell on Twitter! ??

Mods will be all over this pal don’t worry. They don’t like people being deliberately inflammatory. We’ll see their interjection soon I’m sure...

Always the case. If the selling team want rid then the price drops as you get closer to the deadline....

I think he might play Arma up top away from home when we are looking to counter attack with pace.

Is it perm or loan? That egg Jamie Mconnell spouting off that it’s a loan on Twitter! ? Apologies in advance if you are Mr Mconnell ????

Nice one mate. Appreciate the info. ??

Seem confident. Like that.

I don’t rate Nicko at all but it’s usually right when he actually names the player. You know he’s chatting shit when he goes all cryptic!! ?

Be happy if true!! ??

He wasn’t even talking to me pal. Good chat though ??

God knows mate. Don’t even know if it’s true. Suppose Waghorn who I guess fits the remit. Based on the last couple of days, the rest are beneath us. He’s openly said he wants better than them!

To be fair, TM never said we didn’t have the cash to spend. Actually he said he was happy with his budget. And a few weeks back Sharpe said the AA deal was too expensive but perhaps that statement was in context with the list TM has. So it wasn’t that we couldn’t afford AA, just that the deal was too expensive for our “D” choice... when you look at TM’s quotes they actually haven’t changed other than around not being able to get them in early.

That guy is clueless. Sad really.

We have to beat Ipswich. Dismantled squad and a load of League 1 level additions!!

Sorry guys, it was a direct lift from that tweet. Was just passing it on. Sorry for confusion

“Apparently someone is travelling to Blackburn tonight ready for talks with Rovers tomorrow about a move .... interesting” ?

Me too!! ??

I carry the same scars Stuart. In fact, bearing in mind the friendships I have with people who were directly involved with Rovers at the time I can honestly say it was worse than people imagined at times. The treatment of players / staff via the ‘third party’ was deplorable at times. Im waiting too for the end of the window. But I’m not sure we’ve had any of those lies since TM began so I I’m prepared to have faith in him. Agree to disagree I guess. But ultimately we want the same things ??

100%

Reading between the lines I think we had a permenant deal for Gallagher lined up them Bamford went for £7m and Southampton suddenly thought Gallagher must be worth that...

Mate, I’ve been a Rovers fan all my life too. Iv gone through all the emotions you have. I’ve spent probably more than most during that time. But that doesn’t mean I choose to be cynical about everything. Just imagine for one moment if you stopped looking at the worst scenario and actually became excited at what TM is saying....wouldn’t you feel better in general? That’s me. I’m not naive, I run a relatively successful company and employ a lot of people. I know I can still be disappointed at the end of this transfer window. But I choose to be positive. All I was doing was pointing out to Chaddy that he can’t change peoples outlooks. Its genuinely nothing personal. We all care about the club.

Good for you buddy. I trust TM so I’m now going to be excited until the window closes. If it doesn’t work out, at least I’ve had a spring in my step for two weeks. Glass half full and all that ??

Yeah I agree but also insistent on championship experience and goals...intriguing!! You can’t get those types of players for less than seven figures can you?
