He's also behind big dave in the pecking order, judging by lineups Can't see anything in this, not sure why a rumour with zero facts results in so many emotional posts? Can also confirm no academy player is tied down for 6 year contracts. Ketchup comes from u18s coaching team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that it was probably just a throw away comment not meant to be taken in that context but I'm sorry its nothing like slavery at all and its very poor form to use as a comparison.

Agreed, so we need to get him in somewhere to play and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you appreciate that it was 'just a throw away comment', why bother making a meal out of my posts, two negatives, one for defending myself against a keyboard warrior, I reckon that I'll give it a miss if I offend folk that much.

ViolaOwls Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 He's had enough of people like (mainly) nuhui making the bench when he feels it's time his lad was there. He's pi$$ed off with what he feels are very poor players getting above what should be the future of the club instead of the poor past. Plus about 8 prem clubs want him and want to use the elites finest to get him up to the next level, rather than some has been/never been players. only what he was saying in the golf club the other week. oh and he thinks our chairman has no respect for him, the past players/current staff or the fans. Only passing on what I've been told. Don't shoot the messenger, we'll do what you like I ain't bothered. But gutted if we never get to see the true potential of this lad because of some very average striker or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzlebeak Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 David Hirst was one of the best players I saw playing for SWFC and an absolute legend but he needs to lay off the beer it's clouding his judgement YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my bold, it's not just his kid in my eyes, he does care about youth coming through full stop. Edited March 15, 2017 by salmonbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When quite frankly our bench has been awful the last few weeks and there's spare for all those subs. Take nuhui and fletcher. Cc always throws fletcher on. Never going to put nuhui on when fletcher is the sub forward. So why not give afew youth players a chance of the match squad experience more.
