If Wolves are keen to avoid upsetting, or developing Nicol, presumably as they see him figuring in future years, isn't there a bit of a snag with that? I'm presuming that Nicol is an "asset" of Sheffield, and so in future seasons he could be included in their team, regardless of any "investment" Wolves have made in developing him. Unless Wolves have or are about to pay a transfer fee to Sheffield? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, is Nicki Pedersen still a Wolves asset? Both parties hated each other, but Wolves got a healthy loan fee from Eastie for all those years in the 2000's. On that point if he is, has a 'deal' been done on fees with off setting Broc's loan fee against Pedersen's for this season I wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be interesting to see what Sheffield think come the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He might be unpopular but he brings the people in. Chances are he will average more than any of our heat leaders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is still bringing people in though, more people more money, perhaps Sheffield should charge a fee to all the other clubs for increasing their gates 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
