Could DH be getting cold feet about leaving? If I were him Iād want to sort this perceived shambles, if it exists, out before handing over.

Just a thought
Given the fact that its our financial year end in June, maybe they're waiting until next week (July) before confirming Phil.

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 donāt 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 āskeletons in the closetā. The length of time itās taking the takeover to be ratified suggests there might indeed be some skeletons. It doesnāt all quite add up and is very concerning. Iām 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? Iām fearing it could be doing, but thatās 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. Even more so now! |

Simply FWIW, copy paste from examiner (so you dont have to hit the click bait s**t):
With changes being announced in Jan Siewert's backroom team, Huddersfield Town fans are wondering what's going on with the Phil Hodgkinson takover of the club.
Just a week into preparing Town for the Championship campaign, Siewert has a new assistant head coach in Colin Bell, who has taken over within hours of Andreas Winkler leaving the club by mutual consent.
Siewert, Bell and first-team coach Mark Hudson will be cited with bringing stability on the playing side to a squad already featuring three new faces in Tommy Elphick, Reece Brown and Josh Koroma - and certain to see a number of other outgoings and incomings.
Off the field, supporters have been waiting for weeks for Hodgkinson's takeover of the club from chariman Dean Hoyle to formally be announced.
It was in early May the agreement between Hodgkinson and Hoyle for the sale of a 75% controlling interest in the Terriers was made public.
Hoyle has remained at the head of the club since then, with Pure Business Group boss Hodgkinson needing approval from the EFL to finally spearhead operations at the John Smith's Stadium.
The lifelong Town fan has, of course, been involved in and fully kept abreast of all that's been going on at the club.
And latest information from sources close to Huddersfield Town is that Hodgkinson's takeover and installation as chairman is very close indeed.
It seems only final pieces of the jigsaw need to be put in place with regard to the EFL approving the 'fit and proper' ownership test - and everything is set for that to happen at some stage in the next few days.
Julian Winter told ExaminerLive almost three weeks ago: "We are literally now in the hands of the EFL to finalise the fit and proper test.
āIād hesitate to put a date on it, because we are in their hands to finalise it now."
There is no suggestion anything has gone awry, or there are any more barriers for Hodgkinson to clear, so the waiting appears to be pretty much over.

Can anyone actually enlighten us on the takeover deal before a few do themselves a great deal of harm speculating in the Transfer thread (sorry, takeover thread is locked). What do we actually know, if anything?
- is PH in sole charge.
- will be backed by a yet undisclosed financier?
- what do we know (facts please) about the terms of the deal? Repayments etc.
I know for one a nice, concise, summary would be helpful.
Otherwise, I guess weāll just have to wait for the deal to be done and the club to update us.
Cheers.

Document on twitter showing companies house confirming PH removed as director of Southport and it's dated today. So I'm guessing confirmation this week

Sadly there won't be second installment of the interview as Phil has sold off all the camera equipment to buy himself a bottle of single malt whisky.

So I'm guessing confirmation this week I wouldnāt go as far as saying that this move is proof of his ratification, but itās certainly a requirement. Either way, I donāt think he could return to his role at Southport under the circumstances so I wouldnāt read too much into this. |

I really hope to be proved wrong but my gut feeling is that as a club we will not progress forwards with this chairman, at best Iam guessing mid championship table status.
I just don't see us having the team on the pitch or the backroom team to be able to mount any sort of challenge once the transfer market window closes.
I suspect some of the better players will leave near the end leaving us short or desperate.
My opinion keeps changing on JS aswell and I am far from convinced this manager is right for us, experience motivation the new manager effect all lacking when he took charge and if he thinks we can change all that with the quality of players recruited I don't see it.
Then look at the DOF situation the fact the ast manager has been a quick turn around all looks a bit unstable for a club that mocks the unstability of other clubs.
Hope iam wrong mind and we have a really entertaining and successful season.

After the last ten years and itās culmination, itās HIGHLY UNLIKELY weāll progress forwards on the pitch in the regular sense. Premier League football doesnāt come easily....ask fans of Forest, Leeds, Blackburn, Derby, Reading, Wigan, Blackpool etc. Weāve got to just take it for what it is, look forward and enjoy being in the new moments that come along, just as we enjoyed our various trips down to the 4th division and back. Football is a journey not a destination. Embrace it. |

Whilst I donāt want to take the gloss the news, and Iām happy that we finally have (some) clarity and we can move forward, I have a question:
The article notes that PH has stepped down from his role of both owner and director at Southport. Thatās not strictly true, is it? I.e. he wasnāt owner of Southport, was he?
I thought part of the concern on here was that he didnāt have enough money to complete the deal to but them. Or have I missed something?
EDIT: irregardless of discussions on the above, he came across well and very positive. Hearing we have the DoF signed and sealed is a bonus. Glad he didnāt make public commitments to signings as this had more than few knickers in a twist the past two weeksā. Letās get behind him and the club and stop squabbling. UTT.

Just seen the second part of his interview.
Got to say I feel better about the shape we're in after it than I did before. Phil comes across very well IMO.. basically just another version of dean hoyle.
You can sense his passion for the club and the role he now has in it and he seems very intent and determined ( and confident ) that he is going to move the club forward.
