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. Do clubs still have scouts, I thought they all just used agents nowadays ? We use a lad who plays fifa |

If you do facebook, go and Sead Sean J's views on the new chairman. Should settle a few nerves. Sean is a salesperson through and through. He’s unlikely to say anything negative is he? Clever move by Sean to get ‘onside’ from the start. I’d be more interested in Julian Winters thoughts. |

I presume this is what is referred to.
Sean Jarvis.
Phil Hodgkinson....
As we know a chapter will end tomorrow but a new one will begin on Monday....
I can think of no one better to take this Club forward.
I have known Phil for the last decade and much like Dean, cut him in half he is pure Huddersfield Town with Blue and White blood....He is cut from the same cloth...
This gentleman and his family are very similar to the Hoyles... they are genuine, honest people who will do everything for the Club.
There will be a lot written, speculated on, made up about our new Chairman, but let me put the record straight.... whilst he has a tough act to follow (he knows that) he will also give it his all. He has been a young terrier right the way through to shirt Sponsor and has not once wavered at supporting his club. His passion for the Terriers is unconditional and at the same time is a true gent.
He is driven. He is determined. He is equally humble and compassionate and I know will give everything to the Club. We are very lucky to have someone like this filling Dean’s shoes...
Inevitably he will do things his way and I am sure there are more changes to come but again I am certain that every decision Phil makes will be in the interest of Town and it’s supporters. He will continue to make Town a stronger club.
Passion and pride and the ability to lead Huddersfield Town is what the Club needs and this man has it.
Not everyone can lead a football club, but this man can.. he has all the right attributes.
I for one trust Phil and will back him in every way I can.
I urge for supporters to get behind our new chairman, give him your all but have patience and am sure the next chapter will be another amazing read.
Phil, it is great to have you at the helm and here’s to the future.
UTT

So brilliant we've taken this route and not sold out to a Chinese consortium. #StillOurClub #TerriersTillWeDie
Thank you, Dean Hoyle, for everything. And thank you most of all for this.

Wages are way too pricey though. We wont go that route. Maddison and Dembele at Peterborough (cant go wrong with a Dembele these days) Clarke at Portsmouth. I memntioned these on the transfer thread, they would be affordable and have the potential to be a very big sell on, should we not go up at some point again... Woodrow at Barnsley looks decent - worth a punt maybe Case argument he didnt pull up any trees at Fulham in the Champ. Could easily see how he gets on at the beginning of the season. There are some players unproven at this level as yet, less money, who need to be given a chance. I hope we do, as we have done Grant. Not overpopulate the squad with unproven, but one in each position, along with steady players at this level, may work well. Sheff United did this and did it very well |

Dwight Gayle will have wages in the 40-50k per week, you guys say shrewd signings. How would that be shrewd? We won’t be in that league of wage payers anymore I think we have to be. A few like him are what’s required. Doesn’t have to be the whole squad. Not going to happen. |

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. Fucking hell! What's happened? I understood every word of that and it made bloody sense. And you didn't mention the Zulus, Sobhi's arse, the Leeds badge or Man U fans! Is it April 1st? Dean Hoyle was obviously a bad influence on Nick and now its the beginning of a new era under the watchful eye of Phil. |

He makes it abundantly clear there will be no splashing of the cash and no DOF until all player movement is complete. |

In the 10th minute perhaps a RATHER LOUD minute long rendition of "STAND UP IF YOU LOVE DEAN HOYLE" should echo around the stadium.

A more than decent bloke who has left us with some outstanding memories. It's a shame some morons have crawled out of the woodwork, it's a new era, let's look forward.
Thanks Dean, good health.

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 I believe that Dean had to agree to that... A new chairman won't have the same constraint. |

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 aHoyle wanted out? You really have to put in overstrength rose tinted specs to see this positively. Wow talk about urinating on a parade! Get this: maybe Dean was on deaths door at one point and rightly and unselfishly thought that he could not responsibly leave the club in the hands of his family to pick up the pieces. What he sells the club for and on what terms is no business of yours. He's again rightly gone for sustainability and custodianship with another Town fan whose also got a) experience of running a football club in the right manner b) business acumen Bolton Wanderers anyone, anyone? |

Hmmm... Facts are ;
• Dean isn't going to be chairman
• however he is still here and going to help and advise.
• he is still on the board of directors
Is he really gone? Nope. Not in my opinion.
To me it looks like he wanted to ease of the running and enjoy life, he found someone who appears to be good at running clubs sustainably and he's a town supporter. If he doesn't have that much money so what? The club does now.
Dean's still around if we need his guidance but we have someone to run the club and move us into the coming years.

On the face of it this is an odd move.
However watching the video Hoyle doesn’t want to sell. He’s doing it because he can’t run the club day-to-day anymore. He could have sold it overseas for more money to people who may have seen it as an investment.
He’s decided against it and picked a fan with a bit of brass who he knows well. Phil probably said I’d love to Dean but I don’t have the cash and Dean’s told him that’s not an issue.
Seems like Dean has decided he can’t trust guys like Rebbe and Winter to run things properly and he needs someone who is properly invested in it. He wants to keep the community bits which someone else would get rid of.
Can’t see Phil buying Deano out unless we get promoted again and Hoyle stays in the background on the beach. Doubt he’ll oversee a slide into League One after working so hard to get us here.
Just my take, might be miles wrong.

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. Hmm - so to what extent are you aware of the new owners ability to fund a club either from his own resources or elsewhere.... you know nothing fella.... you're just trying to be provocative for the sake of it.... |

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. Wadsworth by name - hmm Wadsworth by nature - the wrong call on both counts.... |

So its not a case of not knowing, its a case of basic facts freely available. He cant afford to bankroll us with his own fortune, not one bit |

Burnley is and always has been the model to follow. There owner is local and while a millionaire isn’t in the same league as the rest. Likewise Norwich Looking at Phil Hodgkinson he’s sold a business he built up for £13m (so obviously has good acumen) and then started Pure Legal. By the looks Pure Legal have been on a aquisition drive so the losses will be part of a stated 5 year growth plan www.lawgazette.co.uk/practice/abs-start-up-enters-pi-market-with-13m-acquisition/5052679.articleWe have huge revenue for the next three years and need a experienced and successful businessman to ensure it’s not frittered away. The fact he’s a real town fan (and sponsor), already involved in football and has some coaching badges means he’s a great fit and you can see why Hoyle approached him Truthfully I would not overly care if town don’t play PL for the next 40 years - scraping the odd result while mostly getting thrashed and cheated isn’t fun. It’s a crap competition - well it’s not really a competition - and the championship is more equal and exciting The prospect of doing a Bolton only for the chance of a couple more years getting thrashed and cheated isn’t for me Spot on! |

All this talk of Phils wealth, yes you can check on his companies past and present but I wasn't aware you could check on his own personal wealth ie bank account, who's to say he didn't have a very rich granny lol.

Shortly after Dean took over the club I was sitting in the Riverside lower when a chap started to walk up the steps,my mate said to me"thats Dean Hoyle" I was nearest to the steps and stuck out my hand and Dean took it.Thats my opinion of the man,and it will never change.A true gent,and a man that has given me 10 years of sustained pleasure.I wish him all the best in his semi retirement. In my lifetime I have only met 2 people who can walk on water,Dean Hoyle is one of them!

Are you in anyway related or pals with Phil? You have pulled up a hell of alot of posts just merely questioning it. Calling someone a jerk, implementing im being provocative etc. Very odd as you have just started posting now, on this subject...... |

The efl wouldn’t pass any form of mortgage to purchase a club after bolton.
People want to be supportive. There are questions about this takeover people understandably want answering.

Has he got £100m sat in the bank, highly doubtful i suspect. Like i have said on a post above, youre eagerly going round questioning people about this subject, do you know the bloke, assume you do the way youre bleetering on. If he has a tenth of Deans wealth, i would be very amazed indeed. Dean keeping 25% seems that there is more to this going forward. But keep pulling peoples posts up |
