Yes of course it’s possible that the club said to Rob that Frank won’t answer questions on specific rumours or targets but it would be odd for the club to ban any questions at all on the transfer window.
“ I’m sure it’s a busy time for you Frank juggling coaching, match prep and recruitment discussions. How do you find the time and are we getting closer to securing some of your targets ?” All very bland and positive but an easy to ask question …,

To Robins credit he would often let out the odd calculated snippet because he knew that fans thrived on it and it put a bit more pressure on the recruitment team to get deals done …

He did ask him if we had any imminent signings, he answered no.

You joke, but I always wondered how Stuart Linnell kept up with his intense radio lifestyle.

Sometimes he would go from a night match, and then be on Radio Northampton for the breakfast show, then I would be driving home from work and he was back on CWR filling in for the afternoon drive-time slot.

I hope this thread doesn't descend further into misogyny. It's easy enough to criticise someone who is underperforming and/or in the wrong role without bringing their gender into it.

What did you want me to say? She's female & she was the commentator last night - I'd usually say 'the twat' or something similar if it was a bloke

I agree that a general question should have been in order

My first experience of CWR before and after the match. The presenters were perfectly fine and professional, but.
Clive and Oggy were to my mind the best football duo on radio who had an amazing rapport that made you want to listen. Even the mistakes about teams and occasionally players were part of the charm.
Duos are sometimes just brilliant. Morcombe and Wise, The Two Ronnies etc.
The person who split Oggy and Clive up (if wasn't Clive's decision) is a nobhead.
