ES6owl Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 We had the chance to get a fee for Hirst, everyone could see he wasn’t going to sign a new contact with us. What’s more painful is we’ve wasted so much money on other players. When in actual fact DC just diddnt want to risk the 10k a week on GH because he’s unproven. So instead wasted money on Abdi, Rhodes, for deffo few more in there aswell. It’s just typical Wednesday for me. Nobody new it would be a waste. Just guessed wrong I guess. I’ve actually depressed myself now. Getting myself a beer..!! And just noticed Antonio playing for West Ham. The last lad with some pace in blue an white..! it’s getting worse..!!

Lord Snooty Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) You'll all be finding streams to watch him make his second start this afternoon then as Oh Leuven Leicester West take on Union Saint-Gilloise at the Stade Joseph Marien The boy looks set to start again after making his debut last week on the left side of a 4-2-3-1 in a 1-1 draw at home to Mechelen.

If we turned down a genuine offer of 2 million from Leicester then it's our own fault we'll end up with around 150K compensation. Chansiri needs to learn fast that the only loyalty players have is towards themselves. Supporters need to learn fast that we are up poo creek soon to be without a paddle, we cannot and never could afford to hang on to players who have had decent fees offered for them, clubs without parachute payments have to wheel and deal, selling players is a necessity in order to stay clear of transfer embargos, point deductions or fines, Chansiri new the rules but decided the gamble was worth the risk, had we stayed clear of Rhodes or been able to sell FF and generate a couple of million for Hirst we'd have been fine and could possibly have improved other areas of the squad. Westwood is another example, if it's true we could have sold him to Stoke in January for a reasonable fee, why was this not done? We'll end up him leaving for next to nowt or worse he'll see out his contract without playing another game. All these decisions are self inflicted and have contributed to the dreadful position we now find ourselves in which means treading water for the next 3-4 seasons.

Losing £2million is like losing around 2,500 on the average gate for the whole season. Gross incompetence on someone's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the nicest of people, great footballer, a good laugh when you've had a few and are happy to listen to a few laddish stories, but would you trust him with your mrs or to do the right thing when it comes to loyalty. Evidently not and there's plenty of stories of how he's acted in not so nice ways. So yes, i think he's a massive weapon, no matter how much you wish to discuss semantics. For the record, I feel a large portion of blame sits with the club for the GH situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Someone mentioned in the pub last night that DH possibly recognises that GH has only a short shelf life as a player and is making sure that he gets a favourable financial deal whilst they can.

One of the reasons I wanted to change jobs was that covering stuff at Hillsborough was never as pleasant as going to Bramall Lane - largely because Harry Bassett was so pleasant to deal with. But Hirsty was as good as gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
