Transfer prices inflate 50% in January, evidenced by the fact we paid £2m for a L1 striker with 6 months left on his contract. We are down irregardless, save the cash for Summer for Jan to work his magic. Ffokin yes bro.. That's the spirit. We are Huddersfield town We do it our way.. We will be back..

The fact is, the Hierarchy have let the fans down badly. (See my full post on 'Elephant in the room' page 2).

Fun fact: we were offered Peter Crouch last summer. We turned him down.

We can`t blame Jan. He`s getting to know the players.He does not know the Premier League nor the Championship. At the moment it is the blind leading the blind so we have to trust him as we did with DW, but you can bet your life he knows the sort of players he wants. He surely did not pick Grant. He is for the future but I expect to see him soon if only for twenty minutes! Think we have now been told Why Jan was the man. Nothing to do with experience. He was cheap because he has no experience and wouldn't demand money to be spent in January or summer probably. Despite what lies the club collectively tell us about trying to stay up they have given up. Lots of damage being done to trust by the club with their decisions and communication at present. go away you spout garbage

Is it OK to be still supportive of the club while being bitterly disappointed with the recruitment over the past two windows? And of the message about not "sleepwalking to relegation" being basically ripped up and thrown in the bin inside a month?
Just asking for a friend.

C’mon lads football is about the highs and lows. Without the lows the heighs aren’t the same.
I’m as disappointed as anyone with the recruitment, but this just isn’t our year.
We’ll be back.

I think the ''we won't be sleepwalking into relegation'' quote was inaccurate. We are walking into it with our eyes wide open. Signings from league One sort of back that up.

This window has been absolutely shocking.
Closely followed by the business we did in the summer.
The ‘not going to let us sleepwalk’ quote is one of the daftest quotes ever produced - and by a man who has given so much and is so smart I’m just amazed it was said and not backed up.

Unquestionably this has been the season from hell, and it’s nowhere near over yet. Literally nothing has gone right on or off the pitch and, unfortunately, I think things will get worse..... in the short term.
The biggest concern is that Dean Hoyle’s reported health problems have meant that he’s presumably not been about to steer the club. Questions surely need to be asked about the capability of the rest of the board in his absence. Even so, Dean was (I assume) fit and healthy last Summer, so he can’t be totally exempt from some criticism. Everyone makes mistakes.
I just hope Town have got the right man in Jan Siewert. He won’t have come here with his eyes closed. He’ll have realised the odds are massively stacked against Town surviving in the PL this season. Same for Winkler. Same for Grant. Realistically the rest of this season is now about Siewert AND the board planning for NEXT season.
Off the pitch, infrastructure will improve with Canalside - a true legacy of our two seasons in the PL, that will benefit the club greatly in the future. I’ve no idea what the club’s thoughts are now about a Director of Football, given the apparent failings of Rebbe and Moss. I just hope the board are looking hard at what’s gone on this last 9 months or so and learns lessons.
On the pitch, Siewert has 3-4 months to assess the squad and plan for the future. Irrespective of what division we’re in next season - realistically it’ll obviously be the Championship - there’ll be MASSIVE player turnover, both in and out. Let Siewert get on with his job.
I see no point whatsoever in spending inflated transfer fees NOW in the forlorn hope of Town suddenly winning more than half the remaining games. It ain’t gonna happen. Give Siewert a break. He’s done nothing to deserve any criticism.
As supporters, it’s bloody awful. The parallels with 71-72 on the pitch are incredible, and ominous. No wins since November 71 I think it was. Fortunately, off the field, there are major differences. Town aren’t skint anymore and Dean Hoyle will still, hopefully, be steering the club.

Fortunately, off the field, there are major differences. Town aren’t skint anymore and Dean Hoyle will still, hopefully, be steering the club. It seems puzzling that Karlan Grant was brought in during this window given all thats been said above, i dont think there was a huge number of clubs chasing his signature . why not leave it until the Summer ? Perhaps it reflects on just how badly Mounie and Depoitre are viewed by the powers that be? And if now is a good time to bring people in like Grant why not a few more for next season, seems a bit odd/ inconsistent thinking.

Yes 1 from the prem if needed Not sure on how many from Europe. I understand to a extent why they haven’t got anyone in on a permanent. But a loan deal could of just give the fans a little lift, myself included

I think we can but we seem to have moved away from top 6 loans as there was pressure to give them a certain amount of game time. The previous manager didnt like this so i think it became a non option. Ironically having only two strikers meant Mounie and Depoitre have been guaranteed a certain amount of game time. Nice.🙄
