Unfortunately your unexpected Premier League win has only served to make the big money clubs spend more and makes the gulf even bigger. I am not alone either, a fair few on foxestalk dont like how we handled this transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a statement from Chansiri Chansiri, who claimed a contract offer to Hirst “broke our current salary structure for the development squad on a level never previously matched” https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/leeds-united-latest/owls-owner-chansiri-confirms-local-offer-for-leeds-united-target-george-hirst-1-8892679 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a skilled workman on say £17.50 an hour st one firm and another offers you a £4 pay rise then joure gonna move, that's not being greedy that's smart and its life. Its a job to many ... a job that is detached from reality at times but a job non the less .. if someone is offering you more money and you are happy to leave .. f*ck it you'll go .. look at players that move to China or the states but could still do a job in their domestic league... look at players leaving Scotland for more money playing for Salford etc .. Some move where the money is.. yes sometimes it stinks, or shows a lack of loyalty but fizz it, some players careers are short lived. you soak up what you can like anyone would. The frustating thing for me and loopholes that are exlpoited by many clubs - it is them we should be venting our anger and frustrations at ..

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 On 05/07/2019 at 17:57, Ian said: Instead of moaning about the loop hole we should just be doing a similar thing ourselves assuming that Chansiri is still saying he’d chuck millions at us if he was allowed. Buy Bangkok United or the likes for a few dollar and then get them to buy Fox and Nuhiu for £80 million a piece FFP sorted and half of Owlstalk can gloat about one of them in particular being one of the highest value players ever Whats not to like Before this Hirst thing even materialised last year, I wondered why more Championship clubs, who have wealthy owners and wish to get round the stupid P&S rules, haven't done this. As for the Hirst move, a free transfer is a big two fingers up to the footballing authorities in this country to get round the youth compensation rules that exist - Leicester could have at least made it look genuine by paying a fee to their Belgium sisters!

The Wall Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Maybe Leicester didn't fancy him and would only do the deal on these terms. Wasn't Pearson in charge at the Belgian club when this went through? A favour for an old mate perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my point was that maybe Leicester weren't mad keen on him, but would take him for next to nowt if Hirst Snr. and Pearson sorted it out. Hence the apparent great lengths they went to to avoid paying out a couple of million for him. I.e. maybe Hirst wanted Leicester more than Leicester wanted Hirst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What leicester have done is shocking, what we did to Hirst jnr was shocking. It was all shocking You sound shocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
