I'd rather have stab ternant as manager. This is ridiculous, everyone getting excited over someone who's never been a manager?!? He could be awful and get us relegated... But hey it's kluivert!!! It's better than 'He could be awful and get us relegated... But hey it's Pressley!!!'

Stan Ternant - as experienced as they get. Surely THE reason for not going for experience What about Nigel Adkins....less experience than Kluivert

Remember what`s-his-name when he became Newcastle manager and they lost 0-4 to Sunderland.
Also Dutch.
Sorry 0-5

Or he could be brilliant and do something great. It's the great unknown. I doubt UniĂŁo de Leiria fans were noshing each other off when they appointed Mourinho in 2001.

You'd have to say this is the purpose of the interview process, to get the best fit for our club, I'm sure Dean and the others involved in the hiring of a new manager aren't going to be getting all giddy because a big name footballer has been linked with the job. Kluivert may get an interview, if he is convincing enough in his plans for the club and willing to work within the constraints we have then he may be a contender for the job. None of us can really say how good or bad of a manager he could be, but all the managers we've been linked with come with some degree of risk.

Far too big a gamble for me. We need someone who knows the Championship. The fact he's been assistant whatever to the Dutch national side is irrelevant.
I really can't see Dean Hoyle appointing someone like him.

Poor Kluivert, he's stuck in the same predicament that many young people find themselves in: Can't get a job without having experience, can't get experience without a job.
Except in this case, the young person is a graduate from Cambridge University who has loads of contacts and worked as a Personal Assistant to a top level Executive for an international business.

Why would it be hard to turn him down? What he did as a player isn't remotely relevant to managing Town in the championship. If Michael Owen ramped up saying how hed like to have a crack at managment to see if hes any good at it, it wouldn't be hard to tell him to bugger off ,and he was more high profile than Kluivert. I kind of agree but Owen has no coaching experience, whereas Kluivert has been a coach for a few years including assistant to a legendary manager in the Dutch team for 2 years. The comparison is a bit unfair. Massive gamble but it would certainly liven the place up! Thanks for saving me typing all that out. Agree it's a massive gamble and agree someone with specific Championship experience would be the more prudent option but to compare Kluivert with Michael 'paiyce' Owen is absurd. Every second word would be 'paiyce' this 'paiyce' that with Owen. I'd have to boycott his interviews in the same way I have to mute him on the telly.

Oh I bet they are, whether they want him here or not it is great publicity & could offer great leverage when snarling the man they end up wanting.

Ok, Lets wait for Dave Hockaday to get sacked then we can have him. After all, he now knows the Championship.

I have an open mind on Kluivert. There are pro's and con's to every single possible choice, and the fact is there is an element of risk and uncertainty to every appointment. And luck.
All I can say really is good luck to Dean Hoyle and the rest of the Board. They have to make a decision and I hope for everyone's sake they make the right choice.

Thinking about this, could it just not be a smart move from PK's PR team by saying he's interested in X job, that it alerts the rest of European football that he's in the market for a managerial role ?

Let's look at it another way.
At the moment, we have just got rid of our third "safe" manager. All three "knew" the championship. The mood among town fans is, basically, bumping along the bottom, interest-wise. The team isn't good enough and needs strengthening.
So, the question is; do we want to go with another "safe" manager, or do we want to take the attitude that Kluivert may be a disaster but one hell of a ride?
To quote the immortal Harry Callahan "Do you feel lucky?"

I do have some concern with Kluivert being mentioned openly in the media and the hype surrounding him, so many fans seem to have their hearts set on Kluivert that if we're to appoint anyone else it's instant added pressure on the new manager. Hope this isn't the case.

You would have thought that with recent media messes. They would have come out and said we have no interest in Kluivert, if they didn't. Saying no comment just feeds the media beast and leads to more speculation and raised expectation from town fans which will ultimately lead to disappointment. So unless they appoint or interview him. It's another PR disaster.

Tell you what I don't get. He says he's interested in the job but hasn't made contact. What is the purpose of the statement then? Who stands to profit from it? Doesn't make sense.

The more i think about it, the more i want to bring in somebody new, fresh, untainted by the size of the club and budget v others in the league and with something to prove. We definitely need someone with experience in the game and contacts to call upon who can enthuse the under performing players we have right now - am not saying kluivert is that man or that he would even be that interested..............but id take him over coyle, pressley, ince etc thats for sure. This appointment is massive for dean hoyle............the club desperately needs to win some hearts and minds back of longstanding and floating supporters. It all feels a bit stale at present, but a good managerial appointment followed by some transfer activity might just be the answer. Heres hoping anyway!

Picture the scene:
2015 Championship play-off final at Wembley. Town and opposition deadlocked at 2-2 in extra time.
119 minutes: Kluivert plays his final card. Town with their final sub take off Joe Murphy and bring on Alex Smithies to the astonishment of the watching football world. Smithies goes on to save 3 penalties and take Huddersfield back to the top flight.

From a media point of view it would be fantastic! He could also use his connections in the game to loan people from man United and Barcelona!

a dutch manager who speaks better English than most we have had in the role??
played at the top level and been an assistant to a very progressive, successful Dutch national manager??
worked with some other top drawer managers??
obviously will have links the likes of which we have never had?
will create an interest in the club that we have never had before?
no, not for me I think we should get someone who has had a bit of success somewhere before ultimately failing or falling out badly with the board or the players or the fans, and one that will trawl their old clubs to find players out of favour to try and get their old mates back in the earnings lists..
onwards, but upwards please.. utt..
