Birley Owl 1867 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Yeah there's no way that were repaying Norwich what they gave us to take Rhodes back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes’ loan and/or sale will not be reflected in there. 1 I move a lot of concrete on the QVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was announced that all our players we loaned, Hector et all have returned to their parent clubs. Nothing about Rhodes as yet. When Bruce was asked at the end of the season he said he didn't know what was happening with Rhodes. Have Norwich actually announced their retained list? And why would it be announced anyway that Rhodes has returned to us, the season's over and the players are on holiday. Our loan players have returned to PL clubs whose season isn't finished yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 If Rhodes is on anything north of £20,000 per week at Wednesday, then that is all the proof you need that the individuals acting on behalf of Sheffield Wednesday, that were responsible for that particular contract, are not fit for purpose. The collection of dozy transfer flops like Rhodes that we accrued in the 2016/17 transfer windows, mean that we’re running up huge debts and the rumours that Hillsborough stadium, the club’s home for generations, could be sold in order to facilitate this feckless governance, are not going away. It stinks. Let’s hope the individuals responsible are now gone for good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard they sorted out an extremely sweet pay packet for David Jones, one which saw him earn more in a week than the entire Blades team earns in a year, combined (including coaching staff). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also relatively speaking it could be said I’m not that high up in said company. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they turn down the chance to do so, as presumably they will, then we'll get him back for nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
