It’s a good idea syndrome to do it during the game as it would show live across the globe what we fans think of DH. 10 mins is too long to get everybody behind it tho imo. I know what you mean but I just feel after what he's done for this club 1 minute just won't cut it. A minute for each year he's owned the club was my thinking. |

We've done blue and white army for longer than 10 mins continuous I'm pretty sure we can keep chants of Deano going for that long |

Isn't his company based over Southport way. I thought he used to be on here too but I can't remember his user name, was he Mersey Terrier ? Could be the popular Wirral Terrier That would be fucking brilliant 😂😂😂😂 |

Jan Siewart to be here come Aug?  Football is littered with the tale of new owner new manager. Interesting months to come Apart from the fact the Dean was talking to Phil and may have already agreed to sell BEFORE Siewart was appointed. |

No one has a clue how this guy can afford to buy town. I don’t get it. Did Hoyle give it away so it would be in the hands of a fan? (Because all successful clubs are owned by fans of course 🤔) or did no one else want it and Hoyle wanted out? You really have to put in overstrength rose tinted specs to see this positively. Dean has stated he had serious interest from around the world. He APPROACHED Phil. To be honest I reckon he (Dean) can do what he wants, and IF that means effectively handing the club over on the cheap (although that’s just speculation) then that’s his call. As he states, Phil is expected to be the custodian of the club, just as Dean has been. There’s a subtle difference there compared to a traditional expectation of football club ownership...Dean has found someone with similar ideas about how the club should be ran, and he’ll be hands on in the day to day running of the club unlike some faceless mega rich person from thousands of miles away. It’s happening, all we can do is trust Deans judgement and back the team next year, giving Phil every chance to grow into the role and succeed. He’s got a MUCH harder job than Dean had, the bar of expectation has risen massively in these last ten years...in fact thinking back, if was actually pretty difficult for Dean to ever really fail, given our starting point. Taking that same job on starting next season it’s going to be VERY challenging to be seen as anything other than a steadily failing club over the next 4 seasons if we do anything other than get back to the EPL (which must be pretty unlikely). The one advantage at least is Phil has some real awareness of what the business side of football is really like, even though he’s gained it at a much lower level, compared to Dean who came in out of pure desperation, seeing the club in a state and wanting to do something despite having no directly relevant experience. |

Best of luck to Phil Hodgkinson. Don;t know anything about him at all, but personally i like the fact hes a lifelong Town fan. Lets hope this is the beginning of another great period for the club under his ownership. As for Dean, every HTFC fan should hold the man in the absolute highest regard. He picked up a total mess 11 years ago and has gone on to build the club into something that is totally unrecognisable from what it was. Hes given HTFC the best seasons weve had in many decades, way beyond what most thought was even possible, and did it whilst allowing us fans to pay at least half what fans of other clubs pay. The man is a total Huddersfield town LEGEND and always will be. Thank you so much for the brilliant memories we'll all take to the grave with us! Nothing I can add to this. Well said and echoes my thoughts entirely. Well said sir. Phil as some big shoes to fill and i wish him all the best and really hope he finds success. At this moment i feel as though i have been hit by a dump truck and would just like to say a big thanks to Dean for what you have achieved for our great club thank to you the ground rocks every game the fans have seen the best players take to the pitch week in week out an d best of all wonderful memories. |

There have been plenty of goals recently conceded due to players not putting as much effort in as they should or just simply not doing their job like marking someone two yards away from them It's somewhat understandable when cut adrift but still unacceptable |

Are people really questioning him owning Southport?
The bloke seems to love football and bought into his local non league club ( Town weren;t available )
Theyre not exactly rivals are they!
The only thing of any note about his ownership of Southport that actually matters, is that he seems to have done a tremendous job there for them.

I can't even be bothered (or perhaps can't keep up), reading the multitude of comments that are understandably being posted. But it wouldn't be DATM without all the negative shite being posted. It's as though people think Dean has sold the club and in the process has applied as much due diligence as the bloke that sold them a 10 yr old XR3 25 yrs ago... 😁 |

So he rung up a bloke he knows who claims to be a lifelong Town fan but actually supports Southport and hasn;t got anywhere near enough money to buy Town, and convinces him to take it off his hands knowing he'll have to syphon off most of the parachute money we are due for the next 2 years to do it. Thats just dean hoyle to a tee isn;t it! |

What is worth reading is the statement from Southport, that seems to indicate we’re getting a hands on owner who will be pushing things every single day...doing exactly what Dean has not really been able to do this season. Interesting times...the money situation around backers or not and his capability to directly invest his own funds is largely irrelevant for the next 2 or 3 years, as the allowable shareholder investment under FFP rules is a drop in the ocean compared to the parachutes anyhow. Anyway... southportfc.net/club-statement-boardroom-changes/Southport Football Club can confirm that Director Phil Hodgkinson will be leaving the Club, both as a Director and shareholder, with a view to his taking over as Chairman and Majority shareholder at Huddersfield Town Football Club, once the necessary approvals have been received. Director Ian Kyle said, “It is with a very heavy heart that everyone at Southport Football Club says goodbye to Phil, whilst at the same time wishing him all the very best of luck at Huddersfield. For me personally, I have worked hand in hand with Phil on a daily basis for the last 20 months or so, and enjoyed every minute of it. The texts from Phil usually start at around 7am most days, and this is indicative of the passion and drive that he has had for this Club. When I first met Phil it was by way of a meeting between him and the then Board to try and unite everyone who had the best interests of the Club at heart after a summer of turmoil. I was in no doubt, from the first minute of that meeting, that Phil wanted nothing but the very best for the Club. Since then, he has played a huge part in turning the Club around, both in respect of stability on the pitch, and of course by planning and carrying through the rebuild of the main stand. Our intention on day one was to stabilise a playing staff which was very much like a revolving door, improve performances on the pitch, and give the Club the opportunity to become self-sufficient. Phil has never waivered from this , even when the opportunity of Huddersfield became a reality. We are now preparing for the new season having won both local cups, and for the first time since my arrival, having a core of good players contracted for next season. Off the pitch, the hospitality has had great reviews all season, and we have in excess of 40 events booked in already for the next 12 months. We are clearly much closer to the self-sufficiency target. Clearly all of this has taken much investment, a large proportion of which has come from Phil. Indeed, Phil has, very much in keeping with his character, further agreed that upon leaving he will be responsible for any outstanding creditors, ensuring that the Club moves into next season debt free. People talk about players being an “asset” to a Club. I am in no doubt that Phil will be considered one of the biggest assets that this Club has ever had. I am sure that everyone involved with Southport Football Club will join me in expressing huge gratitude to Phil, and wishing him all the best with his new and very exciting journey with Huddersfield Town. I certainly expect to see Phil and Josh back at Merseyrail Community Stadium on a regular basis. Phil will, prior to the transaction being completed, be selling his shares to myself , Liam Watson, and Steven Porter. I welcome Liam and Steve on to the Board. Both Liam and Steve are Southport FC through and through, and I feel extremely confident moving forward with the two of them as part of a new Board, and excited at the opportunities now lying in front of us. UP THE PORT! UP THE TERRIERS! PS can we have a pre-season friendly :-) |

As a proper thank you could Uncle Ken be stripped of his life role (whatever it is), then we could give this title to a proper town owner and Chairman, Sir Dean Hoyle

Thanks dean, I never felt that I'd feel such emotion at a football match that I felt at Wembley. I cried when Chris schindlers penalty went in. A dream fulfilled . It was more than David cowlings goal in the cup, more than bullocks penalty at Brentford, more than Carlisle away to get to Wembley the first time. More than the fourth at bury. More than I had ever dreamed. THANK YOU. We may be promoted back to the PL again but it will never feel like that again. Will be shit. Because we will know we’re even further behind the money machines. Dean Hoyle gave us that moment, that most folk never thought would happen. He gave us the season extra, that most folk never thought would happen. My old man never managed to see it, I never thought I would. DH and the elements meant that me and my boy actually did. If he ever fancies a pint, there’s one paid on. |
