[St Charles Owl]

Probably none Chaz. But as I said things could be handled a lot better. Why not give him a kick up the arse by playing him in that stupid f'ucking cup that keeps changing its name to bring him back down to earth a bit then give him another £500 a week with incentives to keep him sweet ? Leicester have bid £2 million for him by all accounts so they've seen the potential. All I want is for us not to come out of this with the usual egg on our faces  

Things can always be better handled with hindsight!! Hirst Snr left the club because of a conflict of interest, we all know what that was. I think everyone sees the potential in him, its a matter of opinion whether he is good enough for the 1st team though. I would also say that from CC's perspective, he is under pressure from our fan base after only 5 games where we have actually started better than previous seasons, I am not sure any of us would pick a completely untried 18 year old when our job was potentially on the line, for me he picked strikers who have sat on the bench and equally need game time ahead of Hirst in the cup games because in all likelihood Rhodes and Winnall are more likely to get him goals to help us get promoted. Managing a football team these days is very short term, and the younger players are the ones who suffer, particularly in the Prem.

I want him to become a legend like his dad but throwing his toys out of the pram at 18 won't do him any good from our perspective but it might just get him the move he seems to want because of the money being offered.
