Owls wise up

The money men at Hillsborough all breathed a huge sigh of relief today when another eight players were struck off the club’s wage bill – although Chris Turner took no pleasure in the task.

Goalkeeper Paul Evans, defenders Ashley Westwood, Danny Maddix and David Burrows, midfielders Trond Soltvedt, Phil O’Donnell and Simon Donnelly and utility man Tony Crane have all been told they have no future at the club.
