Macey is utterly hopeless, it's is by no means our defence looks so clueless and shaky with a clueless and shaky keeper behind them.
As for this loan deal I think the club was hugely naive to have such favourable terms for Wolves. There are plenty of young goalkeepers out there getting no playing time, we weren't cup in hands begging for him so why were the terms so set against us.
As for Wolves, I'm in no way surprised that a greedy Premier League club would milk us of 6 months wages on an injured player with every intention of having him back when he was fit. Such is the nature of the game at the top, such is the nature with many people who have more money than they know what to do with. What would be peanuts to them is 1-2 full time players for us but because they can save a few peanuts then take advantage of that poorly defined contract for all its worth. Disgusting but utterly predictable.
Sorry, but what obligation did Wolves have? Absolutely none. Why do some still not understand that football is a business that deals in entertainment, not a charity. And then to conflate it with the politics of envy as well. Wolves have done nothing wrong.
And this pretty much sums up the self-centred mindset of the modern game.
Contractually no they have done nothing wrong and please point to where I suggested they did. This isn't about their obligations, it's about decency and looking out for smaller clubs who don't rake it in from Premier League sponsorship deals.
This is no different to the greed these juggernauts show when it comes to hoarding youth players, refusing to trickle down their riches to grassroots football, threatening to form breakaway leagues to get better shares of TV deals. None of which break any rules or agreements, that isn't the point though. It's about greed, it's about all that is wrong with the "business is business" mindset.
We naively signed up to a contract heavily weighted in favour of Wolves and got well and truly bitten on the behind for our mistake. Whoever agreed to that deal is just as much at fault, however the decent thing to do bearing in mind Wolves were probably insured anyway would've been to take him back, the wage is nothing to them, absolutely nothing with the money they'll earn this year. Us on the other hand it's one less player we can afford to pay because we've got an injured goalkeeper burning a hole in our budget.
