Some of its difficult to be clear about, I agree. And none if us will know the finer details but with so much open to speculation it isn't great.
Football has certainly become a greedy man's game.
Swfc as a club  have fallen out with Hirst Sr so I don't see Jr staying to be honest. Even of he did sign would there be tensions now? Is there any bad blood still in it?
Again I've heard rumours about Sr being broke so if that's true he's going to be pushing for as much as possible, which won't be with Wednesday

TBF the couple of times I did the hospitality suite Snr did a good job of circulating with everyone, signing programs and having a banter with the young kids who were there for birthdays and or game mascots. Not sure what other sources of income he had/has but emotional attachment defineitely doesn't pay the gas bills. it looked like his missus was involved in the hospitality group too.

I guess if he's not the last person on the celebrity player wall the writing is definitely (not) on it with respect to relationship with the club and as a parent probably just wants to get the best deal/opportunity for Jnr.

Of course the bigger the club the opportunity is not always there- just look at the size of the M City and Chelsea overall squads and the extent of their younger player loans. Arnhem Vitesse is largely comprised of a combination of the Chelsea U23/Reserves. Most of them never ever get intto the main squad because the need for constant success drives the recruitment of foreign player stars each season.
