As recently as Friday, Lee Johnson said he was 'not necessarily' expecting a busy transfer deadline day.
Now he has paid the price for Saturday's 6-0 hammering at Bolton, and can take deadline day off altogether.
Johnson's sacking late last night means the club will be heading into deadline day with sporting director Kristjaan Speakman and the recruitment team calling all the shots, and when the new head coach arrives he will take over with the transfer dealings all done.
