Knowing what we know now, if you were Fletcher, Fox, Winnall etc would you want to be on board this sinking ship right now? Its hardly the player’s fault that the club allowed them to run down their contracts and walk away for nothing. Fletcher, Fox, Winnall, Hutchinson & Forestieri will all get themselves another Championship club for next season IMO. Not on the money they allegedly were on here they wont...

Is there an echo in here? I haven’t mentioned wages. I’m not sure why it matters to us fans what they’re earning. I predict those 5 players will get offers from Championship clubs this summer.

Thats rocknroll..'innit'? ha ha..we are in FFP trouble,partly as a consequence of said 'wages'.But to answer your Q..Time will tell if these players are sought after,Foresteri & Big Dave i expect to move abroad for their football. Fletcher not wanted by Aberdeen,a Club he has recently been linked with,depends on his wage/contract lenth demands,& if he can pass a medical,at a new Club.WE shall see... Fox,may have some offers,a few were linked to him,pre Covid 19,i believe? Winnal,not the same player since his injury at Derby,may get a Barnsley offer out of sentimentality,without that i think he may drop a division.,(Rotherham maybe fancy him? if he is cheap on his wage/contract wants?Thats why i raised it.. might see him in the Championship after all? ) Hutchinson,may have some London contacts to call on,but to me frankly he looks like a player approaching the end of his playing career.He may be better off looking(or maybe training) for his coaching badges ,if he fancys it. Only my opinion,good luck to all,who have worn a Wednesday shirt,at their next Clubs,or ventures.. Edited August 2, 2020 by parajack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I thought that was going to be a video of Irate fans chasing them out of Hillsborough with pitchforks. I've got a vivid imagination 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring Fletcher that group were poor value for their expense. In the end the trio who wouldn't extend temporarily actually saved us a little bit of money too without impacting on our survival in the championship. Except for Fox and Hutch it's likely that none of them will ever again come close to what they earned with us. Good bye. Hooper wasn't poor value overall, and FF we managed poorly. If we'd had the first 18 months and sold when we got that stupid offer we'd have done unbelievable off him. Instead we rewarded petulance with a big new long contract 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh76 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 With the current financial insecurity a lot of teams will be running with much smaller squads next season, so there will be a few free agents either dropping down a league or getting a significant wage reduction (or both); this is the worst time to be out of contract.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 If they extended for a month and got injured it would have stopped them getting a deal they have probably lined up elsewhere. Can see why fans wouldn't like it but can see why they have done it. Anyone expecting FF to be loyal to anyone else apart from his bank balance and his own ego is urinating in the wind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was injured a lot though and for how some people rave about him on here after he left, he went onto play in Australia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109Waddle Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure any of them really convinced me, over their time at the club, that we would be worse off without them at this point in time.

In the scheme of things he was better than Madine who went for £6m and never scored for Cardiff.

But didnt have best injury record when we brought him so was a gamble that failed (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
