Owls fans join Brunt debate

From TomG: "What are the current board playing at in terms of contract offers? We have already lost one of the star players of the Championship (Brunty) to a rival team because we fail to offer him the contract he deserves. Yet despite a tight wages budget, we somehow persuade Francis Jeffers to sign a contract that must be worth more than what any other player in the Owls squad is on!

Crookes Owl: Brunty saw the bright lights and wanted away. Magic (Madjid Bougherra] did the same. It's not the first time and it won't be the last time a player moves for financial reasons. Why is anyone blaming the board? Because they put a value on a player and stick to it? Because they are trying to avoid the financial mistakes of the past? No doubt someone from Wednesdayite is drafting a response as we speak. Let's stop being negative and support the players who still want to wear the shirt!

Holl: Just goes to show how the club intends to move forward, letting its best players leave. What a joke! Last season gave a glimmer of hope and belief to the blue side of the city. I don't believe Kaven Walker or Dave Allen are doing anything that would make me believe we are moving forward.

Superslick45: If Chris Brunt thinks the Baggies have a better chance of promotion than the Owls it shows what a mess this club really is in.
