sonofbert2 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I always try to put myself in the shoes of both sides to gauge how they see things. From DC's perspective it must have been very strange to see a father and son, loved and nurtured by the club and its fans yet behaving in such a mercenary manner. I sort of get why he dug his heels in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) So are we not playing this Belgian club in a pre season friendly then as part of the deal?. Just wondering when I will get an opportunity to boo young Hirsty. Probably have to wait until 3rd round of Carabo cup when he's on loan at Leicester.

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. Well it seems odd. Why weren't other players stopped playing. It's almost as if sumats gone on that we don't know about and nob'dy will say what it is. For the sins of the father? Hope not. Attached to me username. But without any evidence to the contrary it's not to wonder. I await 1st July wi baited breath! Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good.

londonowl Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 4 minutes ago, Mr Farrell said: This. Our Chairman fooked up. Simple as. Worst case scenario should have been taking the 2 million. I know no more than anyone on here but the '£2m' offer was probably the maximum value with add-ons. If the offer was, say £500k with add-ons and no sell-on clause, you can absolutely understand DC deciding just to let it go to Tribunal where we would get around £1m plus 20% Sell-On. Then again, if it was £2m cash in his bin and a 20% Sell-on, it looks like a massive miscalculation by DC. Truth is, we don't know like we don't know if GH wanted £5k a week or £25k a week and we don't know if DC offered £2k a week or £10k a week. I know it's stating the bleedin' obvious but how can people be so dismissive of either side when very few (if any) people on here actually know the facts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a few seasons attend a Leicester City game and you will get your chance. The £50m Sheffield Wednsday Leicester City strike force of George Hirst and Jamie Vardy will be Playing.

torryowl Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 hirst senior's first duty is to his son and if he feels moving from Hillsboro is the right thing for him then who are we to say he's wrong . ….i'm sure all the dads on here wouldn't take kindly to be told what there sons should or shouldn't do ………….IF Leicester did offer 2 million for him and have now got there mitts on him for free then you think some of the money they have saved will have filtered into the hirsts pockets and if it as then you cant really blame them for going along with the deal .

A lot of IF's in there, I would think that for most people, juat going along with the deal is not the problem. The underlying suspicion of engineering the deal is more of a problem.

You can't. I want to known what folks leaving their jobs, players being club suspended and folks getting told to testicles at the training ground have all got to do with such a simple issue. Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'd been suggestions that something similar had happened with Clare since it was alleged by @KivoOwl that Clare was training alone with Hirst.
