Blackburn Rovers failed in their deadline day attempts to sign striker Duncan McGuire - who was also interesting Sheffield Wednesday at the time

Preston North End rivals Blackburn Rovers are moving forward without long-standing club secretary Ian Silvester following an internal investigation into their failure to sign USA striker Duncan McGuire in January. An inquiry was held after the Ewood Park outfit announced the signing of the Orlando City forward at 11pm on transfer deadline day - only to be told by the EFL that the required paperwork had not been submitted.

It has also emerged that the 23-year-old currently has offers on the table from clubs in Belgium and Germany, while the Owls also retain an interest. Luckily for Rovers, they had enough fire-power in their ranks to stave off the threat of relegation to League One as John Eustace’s side finished the 2023-24 season in 19th place - three points above the drop zone.
