Anyway, more important things today. England God knows.. Nobody knows really what Hirsty had done/said/influenced. That's why I'm not namecalling him or saying he's no legend anymore etc Yeah I'm genuinely buzzing for this game today and I've not been bothered about England for years. It's got exciting all of a sudden Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowl Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 1 minute ago, @owlstalk said: They've not hurt me Because I can see it for what it is There's zero reason for our fans to be disgruntled. We have to trust the chairman that playing it his way and getting no compensation was the right thing to do in the circumstances I trust the chairman's intentions, but not his abilities. In fact, there's a lot that's concerned me about that including this whole issue with the Hirsts. Still, as I say, I do trust his intentions, and I do hope this kind of nonsense about preventing players from playing until they sign contracts never happens again. Such a stupid thing for him to do.

Apart from stocking the drinks chillers up in the suites and giving an academy player premier league wages. I cannot see how he could have done anything to prevent this from happening? You must be blinded if you can't see he could have accepted a big money bid for him, he could have let him train with his peers and let him play football.

Buxton - a long time poster stated that the intention 2 years ago was never to sign for us. Another poster backed this up. He has no history of telling lies and making 'ITK' stuff up on here. If we can't take what he said with any sort of credibility why should we ever do the same with anything you come out with? The fans have been critical on both sides of this saga, don't see why the Hirst's should be exempt from this. Why are they above criticism? You have been critical of the club plenty of times without knowing 100% the full facts. Where did I say it was about Buxton? How do you know (or Buxton for that matter) that the bad blood between Hirsty and Chansiri hadn't already kicked off when Buxton was told? You don't.

I know ultimately it's Mr. Chansiri's money, but we all lose to a degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I don't feel "cheated". Just a bit annoyed that we've missed out on some money and how the so-called "rules" are so easily circumvented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans pay big bucks to help fund good players on pitch. Selling GH puts (say) £2m on top of that. Fans pay big bucks get the good players they pay for AND £2m extra in quality on the pitch. If poor management leads to a reduction in potential funds and thus reduction in potential playing quality, fans have missed out. Then there's the whole sentimental/romance side of things... a legend's son scoring in front of the kop. You get the idea. Though perhaps "cheated" is the wrong word... I kind of understand the feeling implied though. It's a bit like having a lass break up with you early doors... you're left wondering "what if"?. Lets hope DC can get us on the rebound pull and get us a gem or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
