Yep. Well done on losing another couple of million.

 

Assuming the lad would have agreed terms wih Leicester 

He might have turned them down to get a dream move to Leuven.

Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good.

It's not just the scale of it that differs, though.

 

Morally, a chairman using a loophole to pump a bit more of his cash into the club he owns in order to attempt to compete on an even footing with clubs whose bank balances have been artificially inflated by obscene parachute payments is hardly comparable to a club screwing another out of a development fee for a young player who came through their academy.

 

If someone creates sponsorship for the club then it needs to be at or around market rate otherwise there can be repercussions (at least that’s how I understand it).

 

The transfer issue seems unprecedented and i think it remains to be seen whether anything comes of it. If a player remains at the feeder club for a substantial amount of time then I’m guessing nothing will.

SURELY THE WHOLE EFFECT BOILS DOWN TO A SIMPLE ANSWER. 

 

IN ORDER FOR THERE  TO BE A CONTRACT, TWO PEOPLE MUST AGREE!

1THEPERSON OFFERING THE CONTRACT MUST DECIDE HOW MUCH IT IS WORTH PAYING FOR THE SIGNATURE/SEVICES OF THE PERSON INVOLVED, 

 

Absolutely

 

In this instance I guess what happened is not too far removed from these lines

 

Young George, spending more and more time with England and doing well, gets chatting with his teammates and finds hes earning about 1/5th of that the other lads are on.

He's also in contract with us - and we start negotiating a new deal

He turns down whats offered because its nowhere near that of his peers in the England side

The club ask him what hes prepared to stay for - and he gives them a figure similar to that of his peers in the England side

The club says no

Hirst is happy to play out his contract at the club before moving on to earn what he's worth elsewhere (thats football)

We get an offer for £2m from Leicester and turn it down

Club tell Hirst they've turned down the offer - and ask him to sign again

Hirst says no unless they pay him what he has asked for and compared to his peers

We ban him from training and playing in the U23's with his Wednesday peers and refuse to send him on loan when hes got one arranged at Rotherham

Chairman releases his public statement - widening the chasm between the two and making any resolution even more unlikely

Player leaves

His being banned from playing in the U23s had already happened before the bid was turned down and before Hirst's agents told the club he wouldn't be signing.

If thats the case then its utterly ridiculous we turned down a bid of £2m

End of thread he's gone forget about him

 

Its not compulsory to read the thread, or to contribute.

 

You must be the 20th person to write end of thread - and its clearly not as people are still discussing it

 

If you ARE Owlstalk Police then I apologise. But if you are you could also close the thread

Agreed.

 

I don't know if DC still felt he could convince Hirst to stay, or whether his own pride interceded, but we were never going to get more for him in January, so whichever way you look at it, it was an odd miscalculation.

This.

 

Our Chairman fooked up.

 

Simple as.

 

Worst case scenario should have been taking the 2 million.

Because? 

 

Precisely. It's inexplicable.

 

We could all just give DC the benefit of the doubt, and say he must have had a good reason for it, but I've genuinely no such faith in DC's motives here.

Errr the thread seems to be continuing without your say so.

 

I suggest you write a strongly worded letter expressing your outrage at a discussion continuing without your authority.
