His most recent team released one of the players who helped Sheffield Wednesday win promotion to League One in 2012.
In a historic end-of-season drive, Dave Jones continued Gary Megson’s efforts, as the Owls defeated fierce competition from local rivals Sheffield United to earn automatic promotion from the third division. A final-day celebration at home against Wycombe Wanderers produced some of the most memorable pictures in the club’s illustrious history, and an undefeated run lasted from late February to the end of the season.
Gary Madine was a key member of that team, and his 18 goals helped them come second behind Charlton Athletic. Madine made 113 appearances with the Owls overall, contributing five assists and 28 goals. He played on loan for United after leaving the team in 2015 to join Bolton Wanderers. Last year, a move to National League Hartlepool United was preceded by setbacks with Cardiff City and Blackpool.
Madine, who was plagued by off-field issues in previous years, scored seven goals for the north-east team but was unable to lead them over a midtable position. He was added to Pools’ released list along with eight other players, confirming that his one season there will be his only one—at least for the time being.
The club will only have ten senior players confirmed on the books going into the summer, according to their retained list. The team is going through a difficult moment since its owner, Raj Singh, has been under scrutiny for how he handled internal issues and a club sale.
Last week, television star Jeff Stelling resigned from his position as club president in the midst of the uproar on social media. Stelling wrote: “I have resigned as president of @Official-HUFC in response to Raj’s most recent comments. Although I am aware that this is just an honorary position, I believed that this was the best way to express my disapproval of the way the group attempting to take over the club was treating me. Supporters now face an unbearable situation where they believe that if they do not back the present owner, the club’s future would be threatened.
Remember that he was the one who tried to discontinue the club’s funding. Now, though, he appears almost insulted that others wish to assume control.
“Despite being a stockholder, I have never been consulted on this. Although I haven’t met the potential purchasers, I am aware that they have been attempting to purchase this club for more than a year—not because of time-wasters. I will always adore our team, and I want the best for all of our supporters.
