Anyway I meant more the likes of Fletcher, Hutch and Forestieri. It will be a while before we see players of that standard in a Wednesday shirt again. Fair play mate I didn’t realise you had seen the agreed budget How is the Owner ? He well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichSheffWeds Posted July 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2020 Not read this thread but this last month sums things up. Nuihu stays another month whilst Fox, Fletcher and Forestieri clear off. Got to admire his loyalty in a time when loyalty is sadly lacking in modern footballers. 15 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I know he isn't the most gifted player we've ever had but he loves our club as much as we do. Always gives 100%, always works and has kept going for us even when mainly a sub. Proper professional and if half the players we'd had during his time here had shown the desire and commitment he has we wouldn't be where we are now. Will always remember him fondly for a day at owls in the park when the players were playing with fans. My lad got fouled, penalty. Atdhe picked the ball up and Alex took it off him telling him he'd won it so he was taking it. Scored the penalty and Atdhe hoisted him on his shoulders celebrating. To a 12 year old and his dad that is magical. Thank you Atdhe for everything. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortlandOwl Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 He's been a decent, "entertaining" servant but surely time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Not read other comments but I for one will be sad to see him go. A good player, scores goals and useful from the bench when plan A isn't working. Underrated I feel by many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Kidneys Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Yes the time is right to clear the decks as much as we can. Fair play to the big guy for playing after the end of his contract to help out ... Others couldn't be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless profit and sustainability rules are ditched or severely relaxed its clear we will have very little budget to play with. If we are to come anywhere close to staying within allowed losses for the next 3 year rolling period we will have to cut spending hugely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowyowl61 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If the big man is leaving that is the saddest news of the last few weeks. I, along with many others, wish him every good fortune in the future. Thanks for all his commitment. He could teach a lot of other players about how to show such commitment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but sometimes they get rid of the player and soon get sacked themselves, the new guy comes in and he, the fans and the player all wish was still back at the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mus Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Thanks to the big guy for 50 goals in five seasons, not bad for someone who only played as sub a lot. Good luck for the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Horse Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I am genuinely really sad at this. Thought he'd be given at least another year. Seems to be a great guy to have in the dressing room, unsettles tiring defenders and is a hell of a lot more technically gifted than many give him credit for. Thanks for your time, Adthe and THAT goal from the corner flag in particular. Always a warm welcome back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuhiu was even slagged off for scoring a last min winner a few years ago V QPR on this very site thats how much our own fans hate him ....work that one out? Remember that remarkable spell of 2018 when he scored 13 goals in 22 appearances? All those who had spent so long saying such a thing was impossible and gushing about Rhodes doing that instead were falling over themselves trying to find the wildest of excuses for both. Opponents on the beach, only trying for a new contract, no service, bullying or whatever. They couldn't just accept circumstances had come together, Nuhiu had played well and helped save our bacon at that time. It's so typical of the modern narcissistic age. Once the opinion is formed, nothing can be permitted to cause reconsideration as people generally don't have the humility to acknowledge their bluster was glib, superficial, prejudiced or even plain wrong. Much better to defend the incorrect to the death than accept any mitigation. Express a little doubt about anything and watch the angry people raging about not going all in one way or the other. Good luck to the big man. He has been a good servant, returned far more than many and got WAY more criticism than he ever deserved. He will not go down in lists of our best ever players, but if that is the measure of anyone then he joins only about 99.5% of them in our history who have been failures. And for all the self-proclaimed experts, labouring anonymously in their lecture halls, offices and warehouses instead of taking up their natural place amongst the vast riches of football coaching at the highest level, his record is nowhere near as bad as they suggest either. If our budget allows us to responsibly restock with better options then fine. That's the nature of the game and he was never going to single-handedly lead us to promotion. But I fear some of those demanding we recruit the next Shearer, Henry, Vardy and Owen may be rather disappointed. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably would have given Nuhiu another year personally. Just as an option to have from the bench. So, you seem to be implying we play with just Rhodes as a lone striker, with Dave as an "option" off the bench......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
