Broke their wage structure to accommodate a player who allegedly only wanted to play for them. May as well just scrap academies.
They refused to play him for a year and then they’re surprised he’s pissed off? He’s signed for a club managed by his dad’s best mate, he may or may not end up at Leicester, I’ve no idea, but neither has anyone else.
He refused to sign a fantastic deal and he wonders why they're pissed off? Developed him, nurtured and supported him for 6 years, maybe more. His father is one of the greatest players in Wednesday history. Absolutely adored by the fans as was junior. **** em all eh just take the money.
Post on the guardian article sums it up: "Watched young Hirsty for a while. The only thing I can say is that most Wednesday supporters are very disappointed. I can see little reason, other than money, why he did what he did. The club bent over backwards to accommodate him and by now he would have been playing first team football. His dad regretted not moving to Man U and I think that’s played a part. The laws on money seem to used to penalise some clubs and not others while there are loopholes like this one which make the viability of training up young players questionable. If you can’t profit from making money on the rare exceptions who go all the way is it sensible to have a youth academy at all? Can we afford it, or is the FA just encouraging us to buy more overseas talent, however unintentionally? We’ll put it behind us but it leaves a bad taste. One that other teams may well have to get used to."
One team we will finish above of is Sheff Wed they are a poor team definitely worse than us. We should have put them to bed in the first half.
Funnily enough I went today Entirely based on people’s recommendations on here Very good. Well played everyone who suggested it
