Based on nothing whatsoever I wouldn’t have thought that a buyout by OPE would be good for Huddersfield Town. These takeovers rarely seem to work out.

If dean feels these people can take us to the next level financially they I trust him 100%. But as of yet it’s still only rumours.

My source says Dean is selling up at the end of the season, due to his health, but it seems the cat is out of the bag.

Seems to be gathering pace and spreading about more, cant say I'd be too surprised, ideally they would take part ownership and invest money with Dean still being the spearhead of operations? Dean has said on numerous occasions that he won’t share his investment. It would be an all or nothing deal and that’s the right way to do it in my opinion, it could get messy if both parties want to take the club in different directions. In an ideal world Dean will stay in charge, we could really do with some stability going into next season.

Doubt it. Hasn't DH said all along he won't share. He'd want someone to buy him out completely or not at all? I stand to be corrected

Or some might say Ope so. Either way the wagners gone thread was locked and also the Ope board meeting thread went the same way ... ![:|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/plain.png)

And i tell you what. Some town fans are going to have a reality check if there ever was a foreign takeover.
People on here whinging like mad at the prices when cup tickets were 30 quid and rumours of season ticket prices going up.
We have been very lucky with the pricing structure of home games for the past few years.

Fucking depressing this board is now. I'm going to try and leave it alone until Sat because it will be like groundhog day on here. The club are doing all they can in an operating environment that's alien to us and also a little alien to our principles as a well run club.If staying in the PL is the single goal of many and their solution to do that is by spending £m's more on players that's funded by selling out to a foreign owner who can invest hundreds of £m's instead of the scores of £m's DH has. Then I'm afraid a lot of those people have been sucked in by the Premier League plc and are unwittingly showing more loyalty to that than they are the club... The PL as an entity and how it operates is not in the interests of 80+ clubs in the pro leagues, we are one of those 80+. There are no more than a dozen clubs that Scudamore and his ilk would have happily cherry picked yrs ago if they could have... DH has given loads back to the fans since he's been here which he didn't have to. Even in the PL he could have made season tickets double the price, or even half their current price and it wouldn't make a jot of difference to which players we bought. I want to stay in the PL but don't want the club to sacrifice it's soul to do so & become another club that's just competing in a pissing contest with other super rich owners. I'd rather we do it with merit and respect...Good luck this week folks, it won't be pretty on here if the last few days are anything to go by... Just read this. Absolutely agree ![clpe](//storage.proboards.com/2448479/images/mD7ARJqpvrEFmn0H9elC.gif)

Did anyone else hear the rumour about the manner of how they paid for the sponsorship rights in the first place?
Too dodgy for me to repeat!! 🤣

Allegedly didn’t involve the traditional means of paying out largish sums such as online, bankers draft or cheque 🤷♂️🤣😊

We have been very lucky with the pricing structure of home games for the past few years. ...not so lucky with the results or performances lately though Completely. A foreign takeover and a boost in ticket prices also doesnt guarantee any more success on the pitch. The whinging of pricing and potential rises from a fair few was well before we were in this predicament. Some of our lot feel they are entitled to it now. Ive mentioned before the Man UTD fa cup game. 16 or 17000 there with 4000 from them and a good few of them inside the home stand as it kicked off a couple of times. That was 30 quid and there was god knows how many people on here saying they wernt going because of it.
