Alex Hunt

Quoted from pen penfras

From what I understand, he's on less than £1k a week, significantly less than our sub goalkeeper, yet it's too expensive to keep one of out most influential players of the season.

It's Fenty all over again!

And where are any facts to substantiate his salary at Wednesday?

Really disappointing, but I can’t make a judgement on the unsubstantiated salary claim, particularly as it comes from a contributor I don’t particularly trust.

Quoted from Poojah

I don’t have all the facts admittedly (not least what his wages are), but on the surface that’s not a great look for the club.

For which club? Wednesday surely? It sounds very much like we were already paying part of Hunt's wage and now they want the full lot because he's doing well for us? Massive fuck off to The Wendies from me here. The arrangement in place was working for all parties and they've sacrificed that for a bit of penny pinching. While Hunt's wages might not be a massive amount for us, it'll be a mere drop in the ocean for a club that has the likes of Barry Bannan, Lee Gregory and Saido Berahino on its books.

Change the f@cking record will you!!..when will you get it into your thick skull the new owners are nothing like that prat!..
Show me the proof he's on less than a £1k a week...a photocopied payslip should suffice!..

Surely with 6 out we can afford to pay for Hunt for 5 months . Then still have enough for other signings . The fans need something to get them interested as it seems this season has been allowed to evaporate and everyone will only have next season to look forward to . Some may say paying more than others are earning isn't right but I'm not sure as their thought could be yes he's good and if he helps us to more wins then we all gain through win bonuses.

As I say, I don’t know the specific details or what was agreed up front, so it’s difficult to comment with real fervency.

But from the outside looking in, we’re talking about one of our most influential players this season at a time when we’re out of form and losing players like there’s no tomorrow. Given how far ahead of budget we’re almost certainly to be given early season attendances, I’d have thought we might be willing to take this on the chin for the greater good of the season.

But yeah, I don’t have all the facts so I’ll stop short of offering up any strong criticism.

Regardless of how much is his salary may or may not be why should we should drop to our knees and give SWFC what they want!..
It's called professional integrity, that's what we've shown here and I for one salute the club for that.
I'd love to know what we offered him as a package to sign for us permanently, if it was a wage increase, which I'd have expected it to be, that showed some kind of ambition by our board!..unlike the last set of numpties...
The only person to suffer is Alex Hunt though due to SW changing the TnCs of the loan arrangement in my eyes.  

Strange to criticize the owners on this one...

We don't know his wages, and maybe Hurst has a potential youngster in the lower league who we can get on a permanent deal.

Just strange to criticize people, without having any facts at all.
Sometimes fans thrive off negativity

Yet I've seen reports that he's on well over treble that muted figure of less than £1k a week.  The point is that there's very few people who probably actually know what he's on, equally so it's not likely it includes anyone contributing to this forum.

Regardless of his wage and/or our contribution to it, if Wednesday have moved the goalposts on the previous arrangement I can understand Hurst's objection to that.  Equally so, he's Wednesday's asset so it's within their right and gift to demand a higher contribution right.  Even more so if there's other interest in him.  

All feels a bit of a game of brinkmanship really.  The fact that Moore is keen for him to stay here and Wednesday have circulated his availability to other clubs doesn't fill me with confidence that they're going to look to keep him beyond his current contract that expires in the summer.  By asking for 100% of his wages, they've perhaps gone beyond the point of seeing him as one for the future and someone they're keen to develop, otherwise they would be happy for him to simply get game time, especially at a club where's he's guaranteed a place in the squad if not the starting XI.

Looks to me like Wednesday are just trying to offload him and make a saving on his wages, as much of a drop in the ocean as they may be (which I don't think that will be the case, Wednesday are skint aren't they?).  Our options are we either cough up and pay the full whack of his wages or try and get him on a permanent deal and match his current contract as part of that.

Would be a great permanent signing in my opinion.
