This kind of comment is just stupid uninformed speculation designed to cause stupid rumors when there is nothing in it. If we had to have our EFL share back before it could be formalized and that only happened on Friday do you seriously expect this to be over by the following Tuesday? Its like some people can't live without a scandal to be shocked about or something. I'm saying that if all parties were confident it was nailed on then Phil would already be in working full time, not Deano I’m probably as far away from an expert on this kind of thing as you can get but to me it sounded obvious that he was choosing his words in a way to keep to the rules on new owners. It would undermine the EFL if he came out and said we’re working with Phil to sign new players whilst at the same time going through the process to see if he’s actually allowed to own the club. |

£18 million on Kongolo £13 million Mbenza £13 million on Mounie £11 million on Pritchard £8 million on Diakhaby If they're not ridiculous fees for Huddersfield Town then you can't have been watching us very long Kongolo worth 10 million imo but as for Mbenza Lazy mounie Diakhaby Imo Maybe 5 million for the lot. These are the level of fees being paid by our now rivals, in the championship Stoke Derby Etc in my humble opinion after watching Town since 1962 ( so you are correct not very long compared to you?) the biggest reason we did not survive another few years in the Premiership is because we did not pay £20/25m for at least 3 or 4 good premiership standard players. On this basis in my opinion they never started. |

Mounie £12m better than Wijnhard/Stewart? Pritchard £10.5m better than Gorre? Diakhaby millions better than the Thornley we took on loan? |

Seriously you cannot quote a price for footballers in different decades Maradona was sold to Naples for 5 million he would be over 200 million now. The price for footballers is multiplying so quickly it’s frightening. I love the past and moving forward is hard to accept in most walks of life, football is moving financially quicker than any business you cannot even compare to 2 years ago it’s that mad. |

Sounds to me like there's some doubt about the takeover going through Surely it would just be a formality for the EFL to ratify the deal and Phil would already be working full time and making the decisions with Jan. It sounds like Dean is still the one making the decisions no doubt from me as I see it |

In the words of Positive, we'll have to wait and see Talk of Phil being unable to prove he has the necessary funds might not be too wide of the mark There is no requirement whatsoever to “prove funds” to pass an owners and directors test. However, my interpretation is that Phil meets disqualifying condition 1.e and would be prevented from owning a football club, *although* we were told that specific case wouldn’t have any impact I don’t see how/why, or if there is any “expiry” date for such a disciplinary disqualifies? www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/appendix-3---owners-and-directors-test/Worth asking the EFL for an explanation. |

Whatever does or doesn't happen from now on ( and I'm sure it will ) that interview part one was an absolute fuck up .. also interesting that we are interviewing a DOF...so that post is important again .. it wasn't a month ago .. I'm not one to criticise the club but it's felt a bit shaky for a while imo. hopefully we can settle down and move forwards from now on I must have missed something... when did they say it wasn’t important? In Hoyle’s interview he said that they’d be looking to appoint someone after the summer but for this year he’d prefer the negotiations to be handled by people with skin in the game. |

If it was important how come we haven't had one for.getting on for half of our premier league experience ? I don't know if it's important or not . But don't you think we have been a little inconsistent as to whether it is or isn't? |

If its anything like other professions, even if they appoint someone in 2 or 3 weeks, that person might have a period of notice to work or gardening leave to serve before he can take up the position.
Even with the change in ownership going on, it does seem strange, and not a little worrying, that this vital role wasn't sorted a long time ago.

So 5 Incomings possibly in the pipeline. Reece brown is surely one of them. A keeper will be another, has kieran Westwood signed a extension with the owls yet?

Fair points, but even with greater financial backing, Powell would never have had us playing like Wagner did. He wouldn;t have been as successful. But never really got the boredom tag Powell gets. Certainly not compared to wagner whos side seemed much less gung-ho and more cautious to me. In Powells only (almost) full season here in 14/15 we actually scored more than Wagners side did in getting promotion, even though they were obviously no where near as good. Think the boring perception is mainly down to results than a lack of attacking, chance-creating football. I saw plenty of games under Powell where he was cautious. Often against team in and around us in the league - the very games we should have adopted a more positive approach. We played cautiously under Wagner too, but the difference - for me - is that under Wagner we always seemed to be in games as we often had plenty of the ball. Under Powell we played some decent football, but all too often we resorted to long balls. Given the choice, I'd rather watch cautious passing football than cautious hoof ball. I've acknowledged that Powell had us playing decent stuff at times, but never consistently, and he produced plenty of defensive dirge too. I can only speak for myself, but my perception of Piwell's boring football has nothing to do with results - it was down to what I was watching. And plenty who sit around me would agree. IMO a lot of the football was crap to watch irrespective of the results. Wagner was defensive in the Premier League, but at least we kept the ball and showed some sort of control in matches. Under Powell it was often 10 men behind the ball and boot it as far as possible. |

DOF interviews in 2 weeks, what??? Either we should have had this sorted months ago or like Hoyle intimated, recruit after the summer. Begs the question if we are getting one on board during the transfer window then  have we been doing the past few months. Granted I get a lot has been going on but surely we have sounded out viable candidates and aren't just putting a job advertisement on Gumtree. P.S Powell got some great results against tough opposition which made it all the more frustrating when we resorted back to negative tactics against those around us in the table. Grayson at the start was getting the results and was producing attacking football. Then the wheels fell off and he lost the fight for it, could see it in his interviews. Someone mentioned personal problems which makes sense. |

I really don’t understand this requirement to find scandal where there is none. The club is criticised when it goes quiet, but the minute it tries to be open..... |

The club said we would get a DoF or equivalent in but would not be involved in this window.
To say there's only about 8 weeks until the window shuts interviews in 2 weeks then maybe 2nd interviews or at least the desicion process the window will be about shut so the club have not said owt wrong they are just getting their ducks in line early ready for the next window and start of season.
They have said we have potentially 5 lined up and that's without a DoF.
The time for criticism is after a dozen games if the football is shite and we are bottom 6 or so or January if we don't get the players to push up another level.
We haven't even started pre season let's let Jan get a squad he can work with do a full pre season then see.

Did I read somewhere that the squad are back in pre season training on Monday? 17th June? It seems pretty early as we have been coming back to be on the grass around 1st of July under Wagner.
We are going to do well to get the majority of the squad in and out of the building before Monday.
