Now I have to apologise about this and I do so sincerely. Just searched and it wasn’t you but another poster and he said that Wing took Bannan to school not once but twice last season. Really sorry about that but I’m always right about everything else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say. I’m Bannan’s number one fan so was racking my brains on what you could be on about. No problem mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_owl Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 The rumours I've heard it was his dad that needs questioning. He was trying to ring the club and DC dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It winds me up that some many of our fans are accepting of what those two former legends did. People forget that when Pearson was at Derby he unsettled Fessi. Literally sabotaging the club from within and some fans think that was ok. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What annoys me about Hirst is that he shows no humility towards what happened with the club. Every time he about to play us, bangs on about how he wants to prove something, it would be special to stop us reaching the playoffs etc. Compare that to Vardy a player who was dropped by the club. A move that could have killed his footballing career, a player with an actual axe to grind with the club. Instead Vardy has no issues with the club and tells every interviewer that mentions what happened….and nearly came back to us 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Thing is, where we are as a club, and where Hirst is now as a player, is now a perfect fit. It wasn’t the case 2 years back. What annoyed me was the behavior of Leicester. What they did absolutely stank. Regardless of what league we are in next season, it would be brilliant to see this lad up front for Wednesday. Both sides, and some fans, need to put things behind them, move forward and look at the bigger picture. A front 2 of Hirst and Gregory would be very decent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I actually think today went some way to healing the situation a bit. He got his goal which reminded us he’s capable - but SWFC are still standing with or without him (and got the win). He’ll know deep down that playing against us for Portsmouth isn’t what he should be doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I can imagine at the time there was so much silly money being paid to so many bellow average players past their best Rhodes , Abdi , Urby just to name a few that it’s understandable to see that Hirst senior thought he could get a decent deal for George and probably did Who was right? Who was wrong? who knows? Time to move on maybe one day he will come back ,if he is good enough I wouldn’t have a problem with it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think you can compare him.and Vardy, Vardy accepted he wasn't good enough when he was released, Hirst wanted a better offer based on his potential. Yes it wasn't handled well by either side, but his mate at the time at United who was his partner up front for England was getting more game time and a better deal yet Hirst at that point was supposedly the bigger prospect. Just cos he, his Dad and Pearson are Wednesday fans doesn't mean they wouldn't put their career and livelihood first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know Pearson was at the club Hirst went to. We know Hirst Senior resigned from his role at the club prior, we know the club offered Hirst Junior the biggest youth to senior contract and the Hirst’s wanted more. You can choose to ignore all the ITK stuff that was put on here, but you can piece together what happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Vardy wasn’t let go because of his footballing abilities Thought most people knew the reason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961OWL Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 My take on GH. League 1 is his level. Hope he goes on and makes a decent living as a pro footballer. Of the 2 centre forwards on show today is he in the same class as Gregory? Not in a million years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having a problem with a young lad that made a decision at 17 to get more money after no doubt being strongly guided by those influencing him is misguided IMO. No, just because there is a loop hole in the rules to exploit, it doesn’t make it right to exploit them. What happened was very much to the detriment of Sheffield Wednesday and at the end of the day I’m a Sheffield Wednesday fan, not a George Hirst fan. You don’t have a problem with it and that’s fair enough, each his own. I do so just agree to disagree. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sign him for next season him and Gregory would be an interesting pairing. His movement was top notch ! Looks a good player and I know the chance of him returning is slim under Chansiri but I’d have him back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its utterly bizarre. I guarantee you Hirst won’t be giving it much thought. Football is a career for these lads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
