Quoted from Teesknees


There was a weather man on Anglia TV years ago called Michael Hunt, an ex RAF guy I seem to remember with a waxed moustache.

I can remember only one occassion that they said " Now over to Mike Hunt for the weather"!



Did he hand it back over to his colleague Dixie Normous?

Hunt signs for Oldham. It does make you a little concerned as to how they were able to afford him (they have no money and are in the excrement) yet we can’t.

Oldham probably can't afford him. They're an absolute circus. Plenty of previous of not paying players. They were one of the few clubs that were more of a shitshow than we were under Fenty.

Can’t say I’m happy but can just about see Hurst’s POV on this, even if I don’t necessarily agree with it.

Hunt won’t be here next season and both the board and manager have spoken about the need to think long(er) term when it comes to recruitment. For whatever we were paying Hunt, we might be better off spending that on someone who’ll be with us next year or we can sell on if they do well.

He does need to pull one out the bag though if he’s to find a replacement near Hunt’s calibre.

Nobody said we can't afford him. Wednesday wanted us to pay all of his wages rather than the portion we have been paying and as a principled man, Hurst told them no and I agree with him there.

Quoted from GhostDan
We'll never know the full story but I do find it strange we've not pushed the boat out to get him back for the rest of the season. He can't have been on that much money as a 19 year old at a League One Club & the loss of his energy, drive and forward thinking passing is definitely going to be a miss.  



The rumours are that his wage is quite large; unless he took a large pay cut when he signed his new deal last week which is quite possible given Wednesday are now a League One club and he's arguably further away from their first team now than he was when he signed the deal.

Hurst spends the boards money like it's his own which has its advantages and disadvantages but I suppose Oldham will be a useful experience for him as he will need to get used to relegation if he plans on breaking into the Wednesday team regularly.

The Board and Hurst have spoken about planning for the long term but on the playing side there is little evidence it is working. We are in Hurst's 3rd transfer window and of our current squad only the following are contracted for next season:

Sam Russell
David Longe-King
Shaun Pearson
John McAtee
Jordan Maguire-Drew

It’s quite a worry but I would expect that several players contracts include an option to extend.

I feel that if we could have kept him on the old deal, or signed him permanently, then there was a deal to do.

If we were going to have to pay him full whack and see him leave at the end of the season anyway, it probably makes more sense to look longer term. If Burgess fits in and performs well, then I'm sure he will be given a longer deal.

It may also be that Sheff Wednesday want him at a higher level for his progression, or even the player himself may have wanted that.

He was never going to be here beyond this season, so may as well cut our losses and look for someone else.

Good point. Not sure which do but it seems to be more and more common.
