I appreciate the positions of both parties on this matter and I know Wednesdayites have strong feelings on this subject, but perhaps we can come together to grease the wheels of this deal as follows:- Weekly direct debits of between £1 & £5 can be set up by Wednesdayites. Target is to raise £10000 per week. Removes any concerns Chansiri has about this deal impacting our FFP model. The gesture in itself I would hope would carry significant significance with both parties involved. Hopefully Chansiri could also as a gesture allow Hirst to play for the first team. If he ends up leaving we can donate the money raised to the Owls Foundation, which supports our Academy which under the leadership of Haslam and young Wilko is doing a great job. With apologies to Mel Sterland, young George Hirst is the best prospect to come through our academy in my lifetime (born 1973) and I think we owe it to ourselves to try and break the current stalemate. Joao and Hirst up front next season with Forestieri playing in the hold just behind them? I’d much rather give my money to charity than line George Hirst’s pockets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonycunningham Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 It was worth a try. I was lucky enough to be at the Everton game when his Dad made his debut and followed the Owls home and away during his career. I hope my kids get the same sort of opportunity at some point, even though I could take or leave the Premier League myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F. Spiksley Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 What we need is some pop stars to all make a hit record. Then follow it up by having a massive 24 hour concert with live links between Hillsborough Park stage and Venues in LA, Berlin, and Sidney. Broadcast in full on national TV and radio Sheffield. You could even get Noel Edmond's to fly his helicopter between Sidney and Hillsborough Park so that Kylie can perform twice in two venues. The sky's the limit. Put me down for a volunteer slot on the phone lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people have £5 a week to give away then Bluebell Wood is a very deserving charity. http://www.bluebellwood.org/donate/ Thanks, actually took you up on that suggestion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strings Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Let’s not and say we did! But seriously if his heart isn’t blue and white the let the mardy bugger rot in premiership reserve team. Even if he had been ill advised by an agent surely he should know what the club means to his dad and take inspiration from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls Loyal Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It seems that the idea has not been well-received. Maybe I am different to others but I would be happy to contribute. Harry Kane is now worth £200 million. There is a chance albeit a small chance that George Hirst could be the next Harry Kane 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedave Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 i think its a great idea. If he has a bad game i can stop his wage for that week. Or at least my £5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
