DannyG or anyone else with a flair for humour could write a sitcom about the running of a football club and base it on the recent history of Huddersfield Town; they'd make a bloody fortune. This club is in danger of becoming a huge joke if it isn't already. Two hugely embarrassing incidents this decade spring to mind - the highly amusing sacking of Mick Wadsworth and subsequent re-instatement of him when we finally figured out we couldn't afford to sack him!! And the empty chair incident when we thought we'd appointed Phil Parkinson only to find out he'd changed his mind at the last minute!! Only Town could do things like this and now, in our centenary season, after the initial boost of the season ticket sales etc here we are again getting rid of someone else so soon into the season. The rights and wrongs of the decision have been discussed many times elsewhere but you can just imagine how the rest of the football world have reacted to it. Just with a knowing chuckle or a tut or a raising of the eyebrows i would imagine. I know Dean Hoyle is doing his best to restore some much needed pride to this sorry little club of ours but he's got an awful long way to go i'm afraid.

I have a lot more pride about my club at this moment in time than I did this time yesterday! Come on since DH has arrived the club has shot forward massively, Ternent will be remember as little more than a hiccup in the scheme of things when Dean Hoyle and co take us up to the promised land

I think the club have made a brave decision.
So many clubs would have just ambled along afraid to make a decision and lived, or died, with the consequences of their inactivity.
Town have been proactive and, hopefully, the new incumbant can help our club thrive and stay for a decent length of time.
Maybe the football world are looking on admirably and wishing they had the balls to make decisions like this?

I cant see Hoyle sacking the lot of them, if he hasn't already got someone lined up. Just another chapter in this once great club, but when 5,000 season ticket holder's stay away from a game, something is badly wrong.

I'd like to know how many of the season ticket holders are 'exiled' fans who bought tickets knowing they wouldn't be able to get to many games but got one to support the initiative/centenary etc. I'm sure its nowhere near that number but i bet there's a good few hundred if not up to a thousand. And how many women bought them as Christmas presents for their husbands/kids etc. You never know there might be an extra 4,000 or so for the Scunthorpe game onwards!!!!

I think any potential manager should be worried about coming to Town. On the 13th October Dean was firmly stating that he believed Stan was the man to take us forward, now 22 days later Stan is sacked....

The opening scene could be Mrs Boothroyd congratulating Aidy on his appointment as manager of HTFC! 'By the way dear what will we be doing for Xmas this year!?' 'Don't make any plans just yet love!!!!'
