Snowflake Royal Hound Obvs both Hec and Austin would have to come at the right price
If they were relatively cheap then yes. Certainly wouldn’t break the bank for either
You'd think a player at the end of his career and a player whose career had, allegedly, stalled probably wouldn’t be too difficult to get at reasonable wages. Especially if they're without clubs. And both have links to the club, which adds a dimension.
But this is football.
Austin has a tenuous link at best having been rejected by the club at 15 (?) for being too small. I doubt he cares much about us !
We’re constantly told we’re an unattractive club, that no out of work managers would come here, that we can’t compete on wages. Not sure how that means players on very good wages are suddenly going to join us on cut price deals.
If we could get Hector on a sub 10k wage as a replacement for Moore that looks a decent deal depending on how motivated he is.
I’m really not sure why Austin fits any criteria we might have. I really can’t believe I’m seeing people advocating signing end of career players when that is EXACTLY what has been argued against constantly ! For what Austin will have been on we could probably extend the deals of most of our OOC youngsters which would be much better value.....
