McRightSide Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Pages and pages of people saying Nixon is talking bolloxx. Sheffield Telegraph confirm story Hope that egg isn't too hot on your faces I see nothing to suggest that the Telegraph haven't just lifted a story from Nixon. Especially seeing as they say they 'can reveal' it...err no, Nixon already did that. Repetition doesn't make it any more credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The deal is dead, we move on. Not interested in a player that wants to squeeze some freebies out of us. He's on 32k a week FFS, let him pay for the executive box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I can believe entirely that Hooper and Norwich fell out over a box there. Just can't see how the bit about Wednesday refusing fits into anything else that was said. Unless he was talking Michael Ballacks in the first place.

Just can't see how the bit about Wednesday refusing fits into anything else that was said. Unless he was talking Michael Ballacks in the first place. How I understand it, is hooper has a basic salary of £32k a week. As a benefit in kind he has an executive box at Norwich to the value of £30k (not sure if that's the actual figure) for the season. A transfer to Wednesday would effectively render that box useless to him, so rather then having the box, hooper wanted £30k (or whatever the box cost) adding to his salary over the course of the year. Norwich refused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich refused If true, fair enough a contract is a contract and taking away the stupid figures most of us would do the same (albeit on a much smaller scale salary wise). The concern is however that he would rather sit in the reserves rather than be guaranteed a start with us. Doesn't seem like his heart is in the move or he would have pushed it through and on that basis better off looking elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRUCE LEE Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Doesn't make any sense, everyone loses out Norwich have a striker doing nothing for his £30k a week, Hooper doesn't get game time, his friends and family watch him pick his arse on the bench from said exec box, and Wednesday miss out on their main target Seems bizarre for Norwich to haggle and not reimburse him for the box, when it will inevitbly cost them more to pay him a few weeks wages over the international break I'd guess, Norwich said what the deal would be, Wednesday matched it and pressed on with the player, back in Norwich a few problems reared up with Grabban and other targets not coming to fruition and they used this basic issue to delay the process and eventually retract it Poor form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 the whole situation seems totally bizarre and too bizarre for football, but then in this modern day, it probably isn't that bizarre!! its absolutely appalling that a deal is scuppered due to issues with a executive box ... jesus flipping wept ...

Norwich refused Thats more believable - especially as players virtually being forced out of clubs like to ensure they get weighed in for every possible cent they are owed as they feel no loyalty to a club they feel is showing them none However, him refusing terms because we refused to give him an exec box is rubbish imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ash76 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 He's in the final year of a £5m contract, probably the biggest he will sign Is say it's important to make sure that every bit of that contact us honored before moving on at the end, probably with a big signing on fee, probably in January. I think he will do OK without'kick starting' his career just now He'll not get nowhere near 32k a week without playing some football between now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
