Always folk quick to take a pot shot.... let's wait until he shows his true colours.... lossl took at least 12 months to turn up unfit whilst posting pictures of breakfast on Instagram that could have fed the majority of Ethiopia.... and if it wouldn't they could have planted the seeds and been provided for.
I like Phil... primarily for the fact he has/is concealing his genuine wealth. If I got above 1000 on the times rich list, nobody would have a fucking clue, its not a pissing contest.

He was in the Ray Wilson team at the Young Terriers, as was I ... don’t remember him sadly and strongly suspect that’s mutual. Must admit, I do like the fact he’s a proper fan (weird he didn’t mention Stewart though ... or that might be just me)! I don't even remember us having teams like that at all so definitely don't remember him! I had also forgotten the teams until reading this post! Didn’t initially think I remembered Phil but I think it has been slowly coming back to me, I’d need to see photos of his younger self but I think I now know who he is/was! Good to know that a proper town fan is in charge and amazing to think the young terriers produced a future owner  |

Where is Part 2? Quite Bizarre to post part 1 and then nothing for weeks.

I imagine it’s because there was all the rumours about him not having the money etc so they prob rush released it to answer those. Then just waiting for the official change before releasing the 2nd part. Although I suspect they didn’t think it would take as long as it has |

Then just waiting for the official change before releasing the 2nd part. Although I suspect they didn’t think it would take as long as it has You think so ? You think they said "let's have an interview and announce its going to be in two parts , first part covering whether he has any money then leave the second part for a month or so " . . Ok that's not what you said but it's clear something has gone on or is going on . No one announces a two part interview then just shows part one .. it's weird.. I'm.sure sean Jarvis said it was happening soon on the podcast. He said a few things were happening soon actually that haven't transpired.. I know fuck all but I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that this takeover isn't happening |

Since then its gone pretty quiet. Similarly these five signings that we were well on with seem to be taking their time (Elphick excepted). |

It might take a few days for it to circle back round to this topic again. Most likely be Thurs when the fixtures are announced and someone will be telling us we haven't got a pot to piss in, etc. etc. |

Rumour mill or not, I think it's pretty apparent that the EFL are yet to ratify and approve the takeover, and the fact it's taking so long leads me to believe that something isn't quite right.

Since Dean is 100% 'in charge' until said takeover is approved I'm not really that bothered. |

Rumour mill or not, I think it's pretty apparent that the EFL are yet to ratify and approve the takeover, and the fact it's taking so long leads me to believe that something isn't quite right. I feel inclined to agree with you. What I don’t understand is that Dean Hoyle was presumably entirely satisfied that Hodgkinson had the wherewithal to take over from him and lead the club going forward, and that there were no “skeletons in the closet”. The length of time it’s taking the takeover to be ratified suggests there might indeed be some skeletons. It doesn’t all quite add up and is very concerning. I’m beginning to feel a little bit sorry for Jan Siewert. Despite what Winter said a week or two ago, could the failure (so far) to finalise the takeover, be impacting on player recruitment? I’m fearing it could be doing, but that’s just my personal view. If nothing is said about the takeover within the next week or so then I think serious questions will need to be asked about exactly what is going on. |

It'd be typical Town if we were the ones that had a takeover knocked back due to Phil failing the fit and proper test when you think of some of the clowns that have been ratified 😁

I hope Dean has a change of heart, I would love him to stay on as majority shareholder.
It doesn't feel right when he's not at the helm and you trust him 100% to always do the best for the club.

I genuinely don’t see how the EFL can approve his takeover given his breach of betting rule. His takeover would be in direct violation of their own rule.

I genuinely don’t see how the EFL can approve his takeover given his breach of betting rule. His takeover would be in direct violation of their own rule. Yup...I don’t really get why the story about his betting was brushed off with a “won’t impact anything” message either. Directly quoting the relevant bitsfrom the EFL Owners and Directors Test >> Disqualifying Condition' means all or any of the following: Disciplinary matters:
1.e) being found to have breached (irrespective of any sentence actually imposed), or having admitted breaching (irrespective of whether disciplinary proceedings were brought or not) at any time any rules in force from time to time in relation to the prohibition on betting on football matches in England and Wales;
3.1 Where The League decides (whether based on a Declaration or otherwise) that a person who is or wishes to become a Relevant Person is subject to a Disqualifying Condition, The League shall notify the person and his Club in writing of that decision (with reasons).
3.4 A Club must not permit any person who is subject to a Disqualifying Condition either to become a Relevant Person or (if he was already a Relevant Person before the Disqualifying Condition arose) to continue to be a Relevant Person for the Club, for so long as the Disqualifying Condition subsists.
He breached the betting rules, so a disqualifying condition exists, therefore he can’t become a person of relevance at a football club. What isn’t defined is the the term of a disqualifying condition...the implication is that someone who breached the betting rules would forever be prevented from taking ownership of a football club, but that can’t be right can it, you can murder someone or be insolvent but those will eventually become “spent” and irrelevant. There are a load of conditions relating to appeals and reviews due to disproportionate disqualification, and maybe it fits into that...but if that’s the case I guess we’ll find out in about 2 or 3 weeks time. |

I'm not sure it would be the worst thing in the world (for Huddersfield Town Football Club) for the takeover to get rejected and for Dean to remain 100% in control...

More likely down to the new EFL board only being announced today...probably not wholly professional getting any decisions through in the interim period that has occurred since the previous board probably stood down at the meeting when we got our league share back, through to now. Probs complete end of this week or early next week...they’ve got Bolton and others to worry about far more than Towns simple situation! |
