First post so firstly, Hi to all..... I’m struggling to understand those showing negativity at this situation. Disappointment in Dean moving on yes, but why the negativity. Every day in sports media you hear that fans want people at the helm that understand the DNA of the club. Dean himself has confirmed that he ‘chose’ Phil and is also maintaining a stake, so in effect, you have a handover from the clubs most successful chairman to the new chairman elect. Every post I see holds Dean in the very highest regard so why some folk then seem to believe that Dean would sell to someone incapable of taking the club forward, seems very odd to me. So in Dean we trust. He has asked that everyone gets behind the new owner and give him the full support. Dean is our man - let’s ensure he gets the send off he deserves on Sunday, Phil is Dean’s man - let’s get behind him and give him every support from day one! Negativity all points to one thing tbh, wealth. We are seemingly going from Dean and his amassed fortune, to a bloke whos company turns over a few million a year. On the outside it does not look good enough to run a football club in this day and age. If he has a consortium of which he is the main face, then great. If he is on his own, then folk can sugar coat shit all they like, it is not great at all. |

Elaborate on how this club is “cash rich” please. We are heading into the championship with a guaranteed income of over £40M for the next 12 months, plus player sales. That could quite feasiibly give us around £70M couldn't it - assuming Kongolo, Billing, and Mooy are all off? All remaining players will take a significant wage cut. How much do you think we will need to run the business next season? That we are. You think thats "cash rich" You are thinking next season, probably the worst mistake going. What happens in season 2022/23 should we be in the Championship............if this is the basis of why he has taken over, you lot are in for a ride here. When it runs out, lets see whos about |

Could do with two tickets for tomorrow actually.
Must be a few fans that aren't arsed anymore judging by some of the reaction. I'll happily take any spares off your hands.

Huddersfield Town cannot compete in the championship without a benefactor. Huddersfield Town lost circa 5 million a season in the championship. If we are not promoted in the next three seasons, once the parachute money is gone then the club will need to shrink. If you strip out the parachute payments Barnsley have wealthier owners than town now Stop worrying about what will happen in three years! It would have been way worse to have a foreign owner asset stripping Town, hiking ST prices, etc. It’s feasible that with a German coach who is highly regarded in Germany, with his attacking football style, with shrewd purchases and loans, that we could pop up to the PL for another season or two and grab some bucketfuls of serious cash. If it doesn’t happen then we’re still in a much better position for the next few years. Sure, we can all dream of stinking rich local owners forever pumping their countless millions in to the club, but that dream is over now, it’s time to sober up, but the situation is still good. |

When it runs out, lets see whos about Well Dean will still be about won't he, unless he's sold his other 25%. And if the business has been run right, we'll either still have money in the bank, or we'll be back in the Premier League. Stop fretting. |

Yes the key thing is thank you dean
To put another perspective on it mike garlick the lowest net worth prem owner is worth 80 million. To think we have a chance of regaining prem status under Phil is fanciful. We are back to lower league one high level two level of ownership.

It’s all very well saying we’ll have £Xm once we’ve sold players but they need replacing for us to be competitive. Good Championship players cost a lot of money. We are not going to replicate what happened in 16/17. |

I was that bloke who bought a 10 yr old XR3i around 30 yrs ago as it happens. Just hope this takeover goes better. 😉 Going to post my thanks to Dean on the other thread as I see this one has already descended into tit-for-tat. So did I. Bastard thing always kept cutting out towards the top of windy hill. Did the job I needed it for for £600 though... I had a brother-in-law that had a garage specialising in Fords, made a fortune out of changing engines in XR3i's from people revving the arse off them, pity he didn't like football he could have bought Town  |

First comment on the takeover and reading much negativity about Deans choice of new owner. If, as has been said, this guy has very little cash why do you think Dean agreed to put the future of our club in his hands ? it's not a trick question because surely Dean would have spoken to Phil about his plans for the future, the investment needed, the way the club will be run etc etc...and Dean will be sat there in the board meetings watching what Phil does won't he ? We should wait for Phil's statement on his plans for the club, the investment strategy and how he intends to take the club forward over the ensuing years. To suggest Dean has sold us a pup here is somewhat disrespectful to Dean Hoyle and contrary to what he has always said to us..

Why is everyone so concerned about having money
Sheffield United and Norwich have got promoted without throwing money it. We got promoted without throwing money at it
You don't need to be the richest to succeed in the Championship, just the smartest

Hoyle has kept a 25% stake in the club which says alot especially for ongoing family interestin the club.
Hoyle would never watch this club sink ,and feel he would step back in if Hodgkinson FAILED BADLY in the years to come to get the club back to winning ways.
I also feel Hoyles sons would love to get more involved in years to come , and certainly look forward to the beginning of the new era under yet another town fan /owner.
The one thing we dont know about is if there is any so called SMALL PRINT in the sale , and now i feel the club could be in alot safer hands than many first thought

Kongolo is right, it's more about how clever and canny he is rather than how much money he's got. Clubs like us need to find a different pathway to success like Hoyle did with Webber/Wagner.

Good Championship players cost a lot of money. We are not going to replicate what happened in 16/17.Maybe not, but we might replicate what Norwich and Sheffield Utd have just done, might we?? Both teams have more wealth than our new one, more contacts and seemingly more appeal. What we did in 16/17 was in a way lucky, we had a togetherness. I do hope it can be replicated, but this change over may change that. Had Dean stopped then it could maybe have been. Time will tell, but the financial clout this guy brings, suggests we will be selling alot of key players in the next few seasons and be looking at shrewd signings. Im not against him, he has my full backing |

Exactly this, we got promoted on a wage bill of £10m Dean was putting around £5m a year in to the club. We made profit last season, So on that basis, the £40m for next year could feasibly bankroll the club for 8 years run as Dean was running it, with player sales financing the new players and wages. Norwich had net profit on player sales last season and pretty sure the Blades didnt spend a fortune either. |

Peeps expecting us to spend much in the summer are living in cloud cuckoo land.
This new bloke sounds to be a very astute businessman and lifelong town fan.
Hopefully we will have a good solid player squad to build on after a big clearout.
Tbh I would never wish my club gets like Man City or Chelsea just spunking money everywhere, buying the league tbh.
This season has been very very unenjoyable for me.
Good luck to our new Owner.
Nickhudd.

The club trying its best to emulate 1972-73. Lack of investment, trying to do it on the cheap.
I bet towns championship relegation odds have shortened a fair bit with this news.

I think we have to spend a fair bit this time. Sensible investments but for the right player £5mil here and £4mil here shouldn’t be baulked at especially if there’s reasonable chance of resale value. The new striker might cost more than that. Still think Dwight Gayle would be worth a punt. If we can show some of our better existing players an ambitious blueprint for transfer activity it might convince the likes of Mooy, Kongolo and Schindler to stay. We’ve seen in recent years relegation from the premier league should not equal an exodus of all a team’s best players - it is possible to persuade them to stay.
Now we have money why not use that to our advantage in combination with a good scouting network to make sure we get value for money. Our premier league stay should help us attract quality players from all over the world so I’m not necessarily saying we need to operate in the over inflated English transfer market for all signings although I think we need a couple of experienced top end championship players.

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! Spot on, Cap'n.  |
