Lomas613 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 As above but I couldn’t be bothered to search for other one I’m in hospital at moment lol. i can’t believe the little @rse hole done it to Wednesday if I’m honest what a cunning crafty move from Leicester it’s a joke. anyway what the purpose of this was for someone to help clarify it why is that a loophole when clearly everyone knows he will go to Leicester but they avoid the fee??? Surely something can be done ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it would take is for the premier league to refuse to sanction Hirst`s " Transfer" to Leicester when it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliceInBlunderland Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Maybe as a nipper he just dreamt of playing for OH Leuven when he grew up. Or maybe he just likes Belgium. I went there in the 80s, it was alreyt tbf. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 If the system allows it then play the system tax dodgers do it all the time. The system needs tightening up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Do kind of hope this 'deal' is being investigated - but I won't hold my breath Why a PL club who seem happy to pay £12m for a reserve keeper should resort to exploiting a loop hole in order to 'acquire' a 19yr old academy prospect, especially when there have been previous suggestions of 'tapping up', seems ... suspect at best, or else downright crooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Newsome Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 They'll start investigating once he signs for Leicester officially you'd like to think, at the minute on paper nothing has been done wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 No laws broken. I can imagine the loophole to be plugged for future instances (or not seeing as it benefits PL clubs). We are the unfortunate club to fall foul of this loophole this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I was talking to someone who watched the latest u19 game and said the lad Brereton looked like the real deal, obviously been on forests first team quite a bit so more experience than Hirst but he said George looked a bit too lightweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the team a fair bit that season and on what I saw wouldn't have fancied Hirst for a first team squad at that stage. This perhaps cuts both ways, however. Quite often 17 year olds dominate in their age group because they've bulked up ahead of their peers. When the others catch up, the picture changes. So arguably, if Hirst is strong among his age group now, that's more likely to be sustained if its not a function of early growth. On the other hand, it's interesting that the big clubs evidently ran their slide rules over him, and decided against. For now, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
114mphAndRising Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 We should make an official complaint now about it, so the FA are aware that we know exactly how this is going to pan out and that Leicester are conning the Academy system. If this had happened to another club I’m sure the national press would’ve picked up on it a bit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw pete Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Is it about time we put an end to the George Hirst threads. He has gone now and good luck to the lad. What ever the real story is we will probably never know and I very much doubt the EPL or the FA will give two hoots as to Leicester City's shenanigans buying a pub team in Belgium to avoid paying fees for academy players. Leicester City's actions reflect EPL football in the 21st century and the overseas owners and grubby agents who have turned up at our shores with the intention of lining their pockets with SKY money. David Hirst has lost the respect of most Wednesday supporters. That is something he will have to live with, but he will no longer be welcome at Hillsbrough, he can ask his mate Dave Richards how that feels. So I hope you were well paid for your role in your sons transfer David the beer in Belgium is 15 to 19 euros per pint. Now is the time to move on, a new season awaits with a new manager and at least eight young lads who are pushing for a first team place.So lets put the past behind us and move on. Forget about the Hirsts and look forward to this new season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a bit extreme, I’m fairly sure the majority of wednesdayites would still welcome Hirst snr at the club , and rightly so though I would have appreciated a bit of dialogue from there side of the story, but it’s water under the bridge now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Chansiri ought to ask David Blunkett or someone similar to intervene on our behalf by writing to the FA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
