Eastleigh Owl Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Situations like this are strange aren't they. We have a young player who thinks he's destined for greatness. A Chairman who thinks the young player isn't worth what he's demanding. The majority of the fanbase who thinks the chairman should Kowtow to the young player, who have somehow now disappeared. Looks like the Chairman nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bruce thought he was worth getting back that's good enough for me on a footballing level. But he's on a 5 year contract over there. The idea of paying for a player who we already had and had already offered a deal to won't sit right with many people. And understandably so. I feel for the lad a bit really because it all points to the advice he's received .IMO. Mind... Not that it matters either way. This is probably nothing more than a lad going to watch his old mates play a game while he's visiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner didn't like Hirst standing up to him. That's why the owner did a very good job of ruining gh career. That's malicious. And totally unnecessary. The owner put his own vanity and lust for power and control over the needs of the club. That is downright abuse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh the irony if he brought his son back and turned him into a world beater. We've more chance of signing George Clooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been struggling for so long that we clutch any straws we can see to get out. I never got the same positive feeling about CC than I've got from Bruce in a very short time. And that is a lot as I really didn't understand the hype around him..so maybe we are on our way up provided that FFP doesn't destroy our plans.

Tamworthowl Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Why on earth would Hirst come back here, even if Bruce wanted him? He's on way over what we offered him. And he's hardly justified what we offered never mind what Leicester are paying. Is he going to forego four years bumper pay for another chance back here, but on more modest pay? Or are we so desperate that we will match his current pay? Humble pie is one thing, but a 50% (or more) pay cut is another. Get real chaps ffs.

In my view, its a very short sight attitude to take. Just to right him off. He wrote himself off as far as I’m concerned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
