Guest MARKOWLS Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If Lee Hughes came to Hillsborough and scored week in week out, and gave his all for the cause, Wednesday fans would lap it up and regard him as a legend. There are a few on here that have taken the moral high ground, fair play to them, but what they forget is that we're a business in a competitive industry...we need players to score us goals, we need players to make us successful. If Lee Hughes is someone that can help us to gain promotion, i would support him. well said big dan and you know what you are 100% correct, see my earlier post.. i call them 2 faced fkrs, can see it now, him bangin in the goals that take us up, last match ov season needing a win for second spot, hughes scores in 89th minute and these 2 faced fkrs wouldnt cheer???? personally i think its more mandaric callin the shots on this one, at 34 hes not what we want in the long run but if he could take us up then??? thats wwhat i think hes thinking...........UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Judging by the hysterics it has caused on here alone, it would be a bad move. We don't need all the baggage that comes with him and the trouble it would cause with fans saying they will stay away etc. He is a good player though and he would get us goals....also he has had many years out of the game so his body could well be in decent fettle for a 34 yr old.

Guest MARKOWLS Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 He ran away and left someone to die, bet you would'nt be saying the same if it was your family member tut tut. ZAK DO YOU HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD??? EVER BEEN IN THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF TROUBLE??? IF YOU HAVE DONT GO TO HILLSBOROUGH AGAIN I DONT WANT TO BE IN THE SAME GROUND AS YOU .........................FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying that someone guilty of petty theft is just as bad a person as someone who caused death by dangerous driving, fled the scene, and has appeared remorseless ever since?

I would say a minority is 49% or less. I would say a small minority is probably 10% or less. In the poll on this forum, 76% of fans don't want him here simply because of his past. Is 76% a small minority? I can assure you 100% I would not be cheering his name if he ever signed for this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc-dan Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thank god for that, I don't want that thug anywhere near Hillsborough. Im still shocked that Irvine considered it, especially when you throw in footballing factors too (enough good strikers already, old, lower div player etc)! Sorry Irvine but that statement about thorough background checks on players has been made a mockery, we sign Madine who has have past problems and now want Hughes!? Either Irvine's getting completely wrong information when doing these checks or he has a twisted idea on who's a good character... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A poll on here is about as good a feeling of Wednesday fans opinions as you're going to get short of asking every man at every game what they think. Even if an online poll wouldn't be fully representative of a whole fan base, it wouldn't be far off. If 76% of online supporters are saying they don't want him here, I reckon the offline supporters' figure wouldn't be far off - maybe 5% either way, but nowhere near 90% would approve his signing - that would be a swing in opinion of 66%, just based on whether you're an Owlstalk member or not. Not having it. Edited January 21, 2011 by KivoOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 At least the saints on this site will be happy now... I'm not a saint, and i don't think many people are. However, I'm not a killer who runs from the scene of a crime either, just like many people aren't either. Some things are just unforgivable tbh.

stompingowl Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Never rated Irvine as a manager, but thought he was probably a decent guy. After his attemps to sign Hughes I think his integrity has to be questiond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Distraught! Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Still think it'll happen. :biggrin: Your life must be a barrel of fun! Can't you ever look at things optimistically? I bet when you were a kid, you used to sit there and think I can't be bothered to write a letter to Santa because I might be dead by Christmas! He ain't coming to Hillsborough so we can give up fookin' worrying about him. Leave him to rot at Notts County. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) At least the saints on this site will be happy now... If by 'Saints' you mean people with A) a moral compass and B) a football brain then you are right...'they' will be happy. Hughes just didn't top up a few penalty points on his licence, or get involved in a nightclub brawl ...he killed somebody through his own recklessness . Yes he has served his time and may be a reformed character, but that doesn't mean I am going to sit in the stands cheering him, no matter what he does on the pitch. More practically, we just don't need him. We have three very decent strikers for this level; an up and coming youngster and an ' enigmatic' winger that can fill in if we are desperate. An absolute senseless signing that can only cause disruption within the fan base and the dressing room.

wisewoodowl Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Happy if this deal is dead. Hughes is not The Wednesday type, we don't have thugs and murderers on our staff. We might have players who dabble in illegal betting scams but we don't have players who break other players skulls. Hughes would fit in at S2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
