If PH sack Cowleys that’s PH fucked, this club will drop like a brick and PH will realise very quickly the hatred a fucked of fan base can have.

And then to make it worse, town fans begin to believe it and the club and Phil get slaughtered for it. We should be uniting together not pulling the club to pieces. Now is not the time. This post should end the thread pull together you are correct but some are not interested in that

The biggest fear already is clubs that know where they are playing next season can prepare. Usual case for us, we have no idea so can't prepare so once again we will be a few weeks behind. Won't make any signings until we know as I'm sure the target lists will be different. Decisions on out of contract players may depend on which league we are in. Potentially a whole new squad with maybe 2 weeks to get to know eachother and gel. I think we've got a pretty good idea where we'll be playing, closer to the 2 Rons level

Nonsense story. If we stay up who could we get that we could afford/would want to come? If we go down, would you really want to ship them out?

Big Phil won't be sacking the cowleys. They are doing a good job.... I'd worry more about them walking away at the end of the season than us sacking them. I get the feeling they aren't been backed at the moment, Big Phils book balancing will have crushed next years budget, in either league one or the championship. Somehow we need Kongolo, Pritchad, Diakhaby, mBenza etc to get good moves and probably get a good fee for grant.

Would be harsh to sack the Cowleys. OK, results haven't gone for them but there have been dealt with a bad hand. The signings of the previous regimes Siewart and Wagner has to be called into question as much of them are dire.

You bring in 2 guys who have mainly experience of League 2 and below who look like they have the potential to achieve higher things into a club pretty much at rock bottom in the Championship and it’s their fault if we get relegated? Bollocks.

Anyone who actually thinks there's a genuine chance of the Cowleys being sacked before kick off on Wednesday is mistaken. This is the "article" purporting to claim that a "Huddersfield source" has told them that they're under "serious pressure". www.footballinsider247.com/cowley-faces-the-sack-at-huddersfield/Huddersfield are on the brink of sacking Danny Cowley as manager, Football Insider can reveal.
The hierarchy of the Championship strugglers are weighing up the shock move of ending his reign as manager after just nine months.
A Huddersfield source has told Football Insider that Cowley and his assistant brother Nicky are “under serious pressure” to keep their jobs.
They may be given one more match in charge but if they are, Wednesday’s 6pm showdown at Birmingham City is likely to be make-or-break.
Huddersfield chiefs are considering pulling the plug after the club dropped into the Championship relegation zone yesterday following their 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The board believe drastic action may be needed to avoid suffering calamitous back-to-back relegations.
With seven matches remaining, the Terriers are 22nd in the Championship table although they are level on points with Hull City, one place outside of the drop zone.
Cowley reacted strongly to Town’s defeat yesterday and claimed the club would only get relegated “over my dead body”.
The Cowleys were lured from Lincoln City last September to replace Jan Siewert, who was sacked on 16 August after the Terriers made a poor start to the new Championship season as well as crashing out of the Carabao Cup.
The brothers had an outstanding record at Lincoln, who twice got promoted in their three-and-a-half year reign as well as achieved unprecedented cup success.The guy who wrote this seems to spend his entire life writing up supposed "exclusives", with allegedly 13,900 posts on that website, and writing stuff with "A <insert team name here> source..." is fairly commonplace. There are no direct quotes, no sources named, I can't see anything which gives him any credibility. Long story short, this story/rumour or whatever you want to call it, purely and simply has no basis in truth. There's no reason at all to believe that the "Huddersfield source" even exists, let alone actually has any insider knowledge.

To anyone wanting to sack the Cowleys. Don't be so fucking stupid, do we never learn? I agree in part. But the same could be said of keeping them on too long if/when it’s obvious they can’t improve us a la Siewart. Do we never learn could be equally applicable.

Still obvious that some players here are under sufferance and others seem to be waiting to move on. Had the first 8 games been transferred into any of the same number under them we would have 8 or 9 points instead of one, showing us now on 51 points, with 7 games left. The pay off would also remove a huge chunk of money for players and wages, whichever division we end up in. Burning more money wont make the future any warmer.

Bollocks. You bring in players not good enough for the premier league pay them millions and wonder what went wrong these players also looked like they had potential, perhaps the common theme here is looks like they had potential and failed to make it at a higher level

Jesus Christ they inherited a complete bloody shambles here and but for them we would have been all but relegated by Christmas. Even if we go down there are no better candidates to take over. The fact that some clowns think they should have been dumped in favour of Warnock just beggars belief. Leave them alone and let them get on with it.

I'm not DC's biggest fan, but you can't judge him on such a small sample. His overall record is 41 points from 33 games, equivalent to 57 points in a full season, which isn't bad considering all the shit. The shocking start to the season, coupled with the recent 3 game slump coinciding with virtually every single result since lockdown going against us is the problem. He can't do anything about the latter but he has sure as hell has to turn this bad mini run round and very quick. It looks like it could come down to us or Hull. Their run in is pretty tough so that's a crumb of comfort. I've not advocated they be sacked, just speculating on what others might do..the Wigan game was pivotal though, a must win game which would have seen us joint 17th with Charlton...to turn in the performance we did, with practically the whole team looking out of sorts has to be down the management. Or perhaps something that happened 90 minutes before the game which was beyond the Cowleys' control.

Yes drastic action is required & the Cowleys need to make it. It's all down to the players if there not up for the fight & togetherness to succeed. Then drop the bad eggs & show them for what they are. Even if players are out of natural positions & we can't fill the extended bench. All Town fans want is fight, passion & controlled aggression. After the start we made & wrong decision making again. It was always about survival, we were adrift on points now on a par so this can be done with the right attitude. With all the poor decisions & some bad luck we can draw a line under it all by staying in this division & the Cowley Bros can start to build on the success they have already achieved. I didn't want to mention Wagner as it's the past but. Go back to the Boro game at home where the vast majority of the fans left the ground with smiles on their faces & positive chat. WE LOST but the fight & togetherness was evident. You know the rest!
