S1Owl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Thought Hooper looked good when came back, good footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcGibbo Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hooper will sign for a team in the US imo. Logical move for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetsheri Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 All hooper has done since Boxing Day 2017 is improve his handicap Not having a go at him if he’s been genuinely struggling but he’s a luxury we can’t afford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We'llNeverBeMastered Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The Hoops decision cant have been easy for SB, but this is the ruthlessness we need to move forward. Onwards and upwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastern Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Wish them all well for the future. Abdi the most disappointing transfer since Jeffers. Offered so much, delivered nothing. Hooper is a class player. But the club will have concerns with wages and injury concerns. I do not think this is the last of who will leave. I’d imagine one or two will be sold. Exciting times on who will be coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Not shocked at Hooper going. He is quality but he's on big wages. We need to free up as much as we can. If he was on 15k a week I'm sure it would have been different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Just can’t pay those kind of wages anymore. Especially on a 31 year old who has struggled with injuries his entire Owls career. Absolute top top player who I wish nothing but the best. Well done to Bruce. Tough decisions to be made and we are making them instantly. No sitting around and waiting anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Gutted to see Hooper leave but it does make sense. Glad Boyd and Matias have gone, I was getting worried they were starting to impress Bruce with recent performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 A good start. Now sell a few and let the Brucebuild begin. Exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 8 minutes ago, ohgoditsjames said: Shocked at Hooper, thought we’d give him a year £30k pw just isn't viable. When he came back and did OK in his first couple of games I thought he'd be earning himself a new deal but unfortunately he just hasn't shown anything since then. It's just too much of a risk to give a big wage (even if we halved his salary) to an injury prone 31 year old, especially when we're already gambling on Lee's fitness. Can't afford to be carrying two potential crocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitcat Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 We've had a great run of form without any of them featuring regularly for most of Brucey's reign. No great loss or surprise really. Should slash our wage bill massively too. Roll on next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCOWL Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I think he’s got it spot on. Id love to keep Hooper, but I also want Westwood and Lee Dont think we can keep all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Any guesses at the wages that has freed up? I reckon upwards of 120k per week. Edited May 5, 2019 by Beholder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I was told today that details of those released already would be published after game, he also said we were trying to get out a similar number currently on contracts. He gave no details of names but got number right on those to be released. There will be some more released over next couple of weeks I understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
