Hirst indeed has done nothing wrong, however his 'agents' have...he could quite easily tell them to fooook off if he wanted...unless he has a binding contract with them And we all know who they are , so it comes as no surprise they are trying to screw the club over Hirst .

Westfield Owl Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 42 minutes ago, Belfast Owl 2 said: Great stats for youth level and he has real potential. But so have a lot of youngsters and haven't went on to anything. But nothing above youth level. If he was demanding the wages of a first team player then we rightly said no. If the club have a strict wage ceiling they don’t to go over, that’s fine. I wish the club had stuck to a strict wage ceiling that they couldn’t break when we were in negotiations to sign the likes of Rhodes, Abdi, Fletcher, Emmanuelson etc. But that’s another matter. Those players are seasoned pros, so I can understand why those players are on big wages, even though they’ve done little to justify their highly expensive contracts. But how does sticking to a strict wage ceiling, justify freezing a youth player out of the first team and the U23s? How is Hirst meant to ‘prove his worth’ if he has been not included in the first team and the U23s all season? Hirst has only been afforded 25 minutes of first team football in total. Which given the amount of senior strikers we have had available in the last 2 years, is hardly surprising. There’s no way anyone can take any conclusions in regards to Hirst’s quality from that. I don’t think many fans are saying that we should blow a king’s ransom on this kid’s new contract. I think most fans are just p*ssed off that we seem to be cutting our nose off despite our face here.

Mountain Owl Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I am beggining to lose faith in how DC is running this club. Currently we have one half decent striker in Joao and that is it but refusing to play Hirsty makes no sense. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. If DC thinks we can't go down then he is deluded. Somebody who could possibly help us stay up and we don't allow him to play does nobody any favours. Crazy decision in my opinion.

Sheffield Wednesday in a nutshell, really. Infact that's Sheffield in a nutshell isn't it. Got to give it to both Wednesday and United, we're both reflections of the city. Lets see who has a better career over the next 20 years, George Hirst or Sheffield Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t give a monkeys about he said / she said, who wants what, and who doesn’t want to pay it. It’s about stopping a player playing football over signing or not signing a new contract. Pathetic.
