Pablo Bonvin Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Don’t worry. It’s the regular “let’s lull the grunters into a false sense of security before the Derby game at the Stain” injury update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B_SWFC Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Lee really hurts. Had all the makings of a true Wednesday legend, and his injuries are going to scupper all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee I’m gonna guess around 15k, X 8 =120k Hooper I’m gonna guess around 30k X 8= 240k thats 360k, Christ actually a lot of money when you consider it’s only 2 players The figures you quote are per week wages not per month. The pay off amounts would be over 4 times as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly at least, considering we were under embargo and have been gently shafted by FFP this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players walk off with a groin strain and disappear for 12 months. Look at Hooper as an example. Bullen did an interview in the Star January 4th 2018, 3 weeks into his injury saying he had been ‘set back a couple of weeks’. Who’s treating them, that crackers bird from Misery? The whole thing just doesn’t add up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Fessi Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) They both signed extensions under CC during his reign, which was good business at the time, both big earners especially Hooper so releasing them or selling them is not happening. Given all the injuries I would not be surprised if they both left at the end of this season when there deals run out. What I can't get my head around is HOW they have both been out for so long? Forestieri ruptured his ACL, it does not get any worse than that for a footballer surely?!?! and he has come back and started playing regularly quicker before them. Would love to see them come back and get fit and give us a some more memorable games but i doubt it.

It’s crippling us this is 2018 no1 but no1 tears up a 25-30k a week wage up because its the right moral thing to do ,it just aint happening . as for hooper he is on 29k a week and has put quite a bit of weight on as for k lee he has been advised to retire or long term it will/might impact on his health but knowing Kieran he just don't want to give up because that's his character ,that comes from a very good source believe it or don't . I don't see either playing again . our wage bill of none playing players is totally crippling it must be not far off half our total 28m million wage bill.

ScrappyOwl Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Really disappointing news for the club, the players themselves and fans alike, but deep down I suspect most of us are far from surprised. Given this and the Winnall setback we the fans really need to get behind the lads who do pull on the shirt and do our bit and hope that the young ones continue to develop, the senior pro's like Tom Lees regain their confidence and Jos along with DC can find one or two gems from abroad or the lower leagues who can improve the squad on what will be a very tight budget in January. Although it pains me to say it, we the fans, must not make comparisons with anything the scrubbers from S2 may or may not achieve this season as this will simply heap more pressure on players and management alike who right now have enough on three plate. Let's give Jos time to work and develop the young ones, their is much talent within the U18's and U23's and I just have a sneaky feeling that in 12-18 months time we will have a team of homegrown talent to be proud of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRADDO Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Jos must be really looking forward to the summer when he can shed about 12 players and start to recruit his own players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
