Lunt 'Infuriates' Laws

TERMINATE his contract now what a waste of space money money money thats all he sees swfc as

Lunt infuriates everyone. What an absolute Lunt he is

Nick, how tempted were you to replace your headline from Lunt to...C....ya know what i mean. haha

I say play him in the next game.

what you on about rob? lunts said he wants to play regular first team football, a LOAN offer comes in (hes still on contract with us) and he turns it down to stay in reserves. Completely different to our captain starting every game and demanding a transfer

Wesp, it's exactly the same. Lunt has a contract to play for this club. He doesn't have to accept loan moves. Woody has a contract to play for this club but doesn't want to honour this contract as he can smell the ambition of Coventry (it makes you want to weep, it really does). If we as a club try to force Lunt out, we are not honouring the contract we signed and are no better than a player who thinks the grass is greener elsewhere. The emotional, and public, blackmail of the publication of this contract dispute is altogether wrong and as immoral as Ronaldo describing himself as a slave. I agree with everyone who states that Lunt would be better off at a club that wants him but no-one can knock the man for honouring his contract. Some people need to examine their own double standards on this one.

It's exactly the same because whilst your argument holds water in purely footballing terms it falls down over the legality of contractual obligations. Lunt is not obliged to go out on loan if he chooses not to. As he would be receiving the same pay regardless of who he went on loan to, it cannot be a matter of money for the player. BL, who ordinarily I have a lot of time for, is completely out of order for publicly villifying a player who wishes to honour his contract and play for our club. It is nothing short of emotional blackmail to lay the blame for our inability to bring in new faces at Lunt's door. I understand that BL is as frustrated as the rest of us are by the thinness of our squad but the blame, may I suggest, lays with the ridiculous length of time Mr Heard is taking with the buy out. I think Man City have proved that if you want to buy a club you can do so quickly. The current board are keeping a tight rein on the finances as they clearly don't want to lay out any cash that might not be refunded. The sooner Mr Heard jumps in or out the better. Sorry got a little off point. If I were a cynical man, I might think that BL was trying to defer supporter disatisfaction away from Woody, a player he made captain and plays every week, onto Lunt, a player he clearly has no intension of playing. The fundamental point is that Lunt cannot be forced to go out on loan (to a noticeably nameless club) and we shouldn't point fingers at him for wanting to stay. Woody on the other hand, I can't remember when he signed his last contract but I suspect it has a couple of years to run, acted like a typical modern footballer by smelling the money (and, god help us, the ambition) of Coventry and decided to try and force the club into selling him (watch the january transfer window). I ask you honestly, which of these two players is acting honourably and is our club behaving well in this matter.

Quite right, Sheard not Heard, my appologies. My point was that the current board members are not going to shell out any cash if they're not going to be in control. And the Abu Dhabi group may not have finished the paperwork but City still threw £32m around on the strength of the takeover. Their far eastern owner wouldn't have given it to them as he's currently liquidising his assets in order to keep one step ahead of his national courts. Once again, sorry for the lapsed S.

Good question, I don't know but we waved goodbye to a large number of players at the end of last season and only bought in one out of contract player and one loan player. Due to our injury crisis we've been allowed to bring in 1 loan defender. Now in previous years the board did stump up some cash (usually following the sale of a squad member) but this hasn't happened this year. No assets have been sold in order to provide finance for purchases. A stricter financial regimen appears to be in place meaning that BL has to move Kenny Lunt and Leon Clarke on before he can bring anybody in. Unfortunately there appear to be few takers, only loan deals available. This means BL and the fans are left feeling frustrated. I can't help but think that much of the blame lies in the protracted take over proceedings. Once upon a time someone would have pointed the finger at Wednesdayite (I'm not a member) but that myth has been blown away. So I'm left asking one question, how much longer?

I knew nothing of these accusations. I only voice my frustration and I don't think I'm alone. I wouldn't go so far as to call Mr Sheard a crook and a fraud. BUT I would say that his use of a letter from one bank to prove his financial backing when he is getting that backing from another bank does make one raise an eyebrow. Also I'm a little worried that the lure of the USA may be too much. Those are my doubts. What is a cast iron fact is that this take over feels like it's gone on forever.

On that I'm in full agreement. My arguments aren't accusations. Just examining the current stuation.
