If that was done to you as a means of forcing you to sign, would it make you more or less inclined to do so? . I know if it were me it would just make me think 'f%ck you too then' It was a terrible decision by DC to do that. We know he was refused a loan move because he made it clear he wouldn’t sign. You wouldn’t want him away from the club in that scenario. However, there had been suggestions before this that he wanted to move on so who was the insitgator, I don’t think it was the club. From then on it was clear he was leaving and in my view the club should’ve played him to protect their position at tribunal. However there were rumours some months ago he’d move abroad and perhaps we knew this much earlier so this was a means of reacting to it. I’m not saying it was a great move but it may explain it. I also think DC is the kind of guy who would rather lose money than be bullied by these characters, particularly if he felt disrespected by Leicester’s actions in the process who are also owned by Thais.

Ever the pessimist Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I am more upset that I didn’t see this coming: knowing that Leicester were interested and had a foreign feeder that could allow them to circumvent compensation... my cynicism radar needs servicing.

Rebowl Yell Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I am actually crying, David Hirst was my favourite player when I was a kid. He signed my replica shirt and everything. I looked up to him, I probably even loved him in a way. Why just why? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWFC have done a miserable job of managing this situation, starting with the offer of 4 years @ 4k with no contract clauses whilst simultaneously pimping him to Notts County for 5K per week. And they then had the temerity to be shocked when he said no thanks. So instead they've cut their own nose off to spite their face by effectively stunting his career by a year. I hope he goes on to lead the line for England and that we learn sufficient lessons to have made it back to a level where we can persuade him back to score goals for us at the top of the premier league. Neg away. Wish I could’ve been earning £4K a week when I was his age. How dare the club insult this proven youth team player in such a manner. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Not sure why Pearson is getting grief for this. As for the Hirsts though, it stinks. To have nurtured his development for 10 years and offered him a more lucrative contract than we ever have to any other player of his age and experience, and then not get a penny in compensation is scandalous and Quite frankly I’d be delighted to see George’s career ended by some Belgian second division clogger before his inevitable move to Leicester materialises. And what’s just as sad is that his dad’s legend will now be tarnished forever. Can’t see him ever being welcome inside Hillsborough again which is a sorry state of affairs it really is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebowl Yell Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 You know what how must Mr C be feeling? He poured his heart and soul into this club, given us everything we could have asked for as fans and has been embraced as a club icon by all. He must be hurting more than anyone here.

Neg away. Small time and bitter is moving to a Belgian second division club rather than directly to Leicester. 4k a week for a championship player who hadn’t appeared ready when he did play is hardly insulting. I’m assuming that’s also a pretty solid wage in the Belgian league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All parties are looking after themselves. We'll get over it. Pearsons managerial career seems to have stalled, I have no problem with him. I don't imagine he had much of a say in it. Hirst senior was never the sharpest tool; at a time when he was supposed to be on a par with Alan Shearer, he was often in the pub. The rest is history. I remember being gutted about Ron going to Villa, Warhurst to Blackburn..,they were real losses. GH is just a kid who didn't make it at Hillsboro.

stanningtonowl Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Regardless of what he's done, and we don't know the full details, I don't think wishing career ending injuries on him is right. He's gone, just move on. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I wanted Hirst to sign a contract with us just as much as everyone else, but if the lad doesn’t want to play for us then I’d much rather see someone else take his place that would love to play for us. There is still a big chance he will flop, he’s unproven at the top level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 1 hour ago, StudentOwl said: Well obviously not officially no... there's nothing to stop the owner of OH Leuven from paying a player's wages out of his pocket if those wages are very high and aren't covered by other costs. The fact that the OH Leuven owner is the same as the Leicester City owner is inconsequential If it's a simple matter of calling such a practice 'not official', then why don't all owners do this in order to get around FFP? It would be an extremely risky thing for an owner to do, and I can't see why George Hirst would be considered worth the risk if all he's trying to do is get out of paying compensation for him - compensation which would be 2 million absolute tops, and much more likely to be less than a million.
