We'd need Pasha to facetime the Venkys during any protest, otherwise they won't know its happened

Notice how Gregg goes into great detail about the planning for the window, did he say 6 weeks they were talking to the agents of O'brien? Make it out that the planning was impeccable then pull the wool over people's eyes so they think it was just unlucky we missed out. Get fucked honestly, some of us have a brain cell or 2 🤣

There's a few pro venkys/swag 'fans' popping up on Facebook now. I find it impossible to believe they're not club plants, either that or utterly brain washed to the point they won't have a negative word said about the club. I can't see much of a fan reaction on Monday, unless we get well beaten and people will really go into a meltdown. More likely some vocals directed at the hierarchy next away game.

Sharpe's swerving any questions aimed at him, usually takes time to reply. Someone's had fat Waggott on the phone saying keep shush or you'll get no info from now on.

Yep - imagine if they gave the green light. Sheff Utd would be livid, they wanted him and others.

Yes I don't think the exact specifics were ever revealed, Bruce moaned about it for some time though. Hopefully something like this is dealt with on a case by case basis and some common sense will prevail. Ultimately this IS the EFL though and their incompetence is usually off the scale so........

Think I need to take some time away from reading about this whole sorry scenario now, still absolutely livid and it's getting worse of anything! I find it hard to believe there's many fans not feeling the same either. Obrien would have been the best signing in many a year and IMO would have transformed the season. These 'transitions' JDT goes on and on about - Obrien is literally exactly what he needs to execute that gameplan. I posted on here last week about him being available but never thought it would happen. To get so close and fuck it up is unforgivable for me. I'll continue to support the players but anyone else behind the scenes can get fucked. Our reputation is in tatters, we struggled attracting player anyway, imagine now? Agent: got you a deal lined up son to Blackburn Player: so they can fuck my season up like they did with Lewis? Not a chance Same will apply to managers. I think JDT will walk, probably at the end of the season. I do not blame him 1 bit either. Imagine the pitch to potential new managers?

Wheres Gregg based? Brockhall I assume? Because there's gonna be a lot of people willing to chip towards a massive fuck off Gregg banner unless things shape up soon

Same issue according to Sharpe

If we don't manage to somehow get the deal through I'm genuinely not sure how many more games I can be arsed to attend for the remainder of the season.

Something must definitely be imminent. Sharpe has been pretty silent on socials and so have the club themselves, both would be a few tweets deep usually by now. Expect an announcement after 9am.

Great banter posting September tweets

Only just noticed Stoke nabbed Pearson on loan as well after announcing Tuanzebe. Couple of good signings there...

Is it possible they want to do the silly sticker book video to announce obrien but there was nobody at Brockhall to do it with them being in Brum? Clutching at straws maybe but it's all very amateur one way or another!

Markanday confirmed on official twitter, nothing else...

Not sure where any updates coming from tonight......

11:41pm I'm going to have to hit the road as they're wanting to shut the stadium

Bristol have released Chris Martin so he'll probably sign in a few days

Aye still not completed though apparently? It must be as good as though.

I'll be more than happy to do so. As it stands only 1 is confirmed though....

Forest still have 3 deals to complete here, Shelvey being one? Maybe the delay ain't all down to us....

Andre Ayew being offered about now he's a free agent. No we won't be in the hunt, just can't believe anyone would want him especially if he's still after stupid money

I'd take him if available at a reasonable price, but it would no doubt be an inflated one

By default even our current crop of strikers should improve with Obrien picking the ball up making things happen going forward. If it fails now I'd be gutted, if it happens it's a huge coup.

Probably just say no updates but working hard behind the scenes then
