Don't disagree with any of that, Venkys have been completely disinterested for years But I was referring specifically to the steepened rate of decline over the past 2 years. I don't think they are any less disinterested than they have been, they have just now completely turned the taps off too, so we cant even get lucky and employ a Manager/Head Coach/Director of Football/CEO/etc who is even vaguely competent

finances have been further cut, so we cant now afford a even moderately competent people in leadership roles the rest flows downstream from there

He joined us because he couldn't get a game at his previous club and was out of contract in the summer That said, hope he exceeds expectations

he is on loan https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2026/02/signing-sammie-szmodics-makes-derby-loan-switch

2 of them were announced this evening, so you would assume not (although I will caveat that with "announced" does not necessarily mean they were not registered earlier) https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2026/february/02/wednesday-sign-marvelous-nakamba/ https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2026/february/02/joel-ndala-makes-owls-loan-switch/ One was announced yesterday so he should be available https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2026/february/01/tayo-adaramola-joins-the-owls-on-loan/

it is rather silly, "deadline is 7pm unless you say you want longer"

no a soon to be 35 year old winger who struggled to get into one of the few sides with less points than Rovers is not the answer

just to rub salt into our wounds

a few foreign windows still open to do some offloading Spain, Belgium & Scotland all close at 11pm tonight Netherlands, Portugal, Greece & Turkey are later this week

basically they took over his contract so we could get his wage off the books

They probably did, but after agreeing a contract over the phone, they probably changed the goalposts once he arrived & he told them to go forth & multiply

Pratt got his face caved in a week ago in an U21 match (which he wouldn't have played in if he wasn't binned off) Fractured jaw & cheekbone I think, think they were waiting on a scan to see how long he may miss, or if he could play in a mask

Wharton is back in training now https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25811467.blackburn-rovers-team-news-star-man-returns-hull-city/ Kargbo is still 2 weeks away You are right that Atcheson, Litherland, Doherty, Montgomery etc don't need to be registered

did have a years option, but had fallen behind Powell who is a year younger, Pates in the U18s also looks to have some potential, as does Theo Pitt in the U16s who can play full back on either side

Jorgensen is a "versatile forward" Dapo mainly plays on the left, is another "versatile forward", he barely played in the Bundesliga, which isn't exactly lowly (not saying he is either a good or an ambitious signing mind)
