You and many on this board make it sound like we’ve just endured the worst 5 seasons in our history when in fact it’s been the best 5 years since many of us were alive. Compare it to 90% of other similarly sized clubs and bigger clubs and we’ve had a cracking few years. We’ve made some bad mistakes but we’re still in a better shape having gone up. The club has assets and it’s not that tough a league we’re in now. Phil spent a lot on the squad last year only to see many of that money wasted with players sat on the bench every other game. He will strengthen the squad again but it’s more about using what we’ve got. Huge room for positivity. Town fans have seemed to have been swallowed up with the modern football fans’ entitlement culture and we’ve forgotten so many years of no hope, no money, can barely compete seasons we suffered. I for one am looking forward to what a squad of talented players can do with a proper coach and the club aligned in its philosophy. This is not a crisis time or desaprate time for the club. We might not beat Norwich but we will start positively(I’m assuming Hamer and Gonads won’t be playing) and go on to have a decent season imo. We won’t be starting with 10 defeats or whatever it was. Well you've said it now when did we start with ten defeats?

The championship is not an unforgiving league- it’s very forgiving. You’re thinking of the premier league. In the championship defensive mistakes are not often punished. Every mistake is always punished with a goal in the prem. Missed chances are always decisive in the prem. in the championship teams regularly get several chances each. The leagues are miles apart. The Championship is a very hard league - one of the toughest in Europe In 2012/13 we were in the relegation zone with 10 mins of the season to go That squad had some quality and only just survived; Smithies, Hunt, Clayton, Norwood, Vaughan, Beckford We can't underestimate what is needed just to stay up in this division you are spot on there.

Afternoon all Little update on the player front James Garner is very much alive and has spoken to cc now down to the player to decide. Lewis Gibson is also very much alive, clubs talking regarding game time etc.... Pipa Clubs agreed a fee just a case of player willing to relocate now.... Liam lindsay is off wages too high and Stoke wanted to recoup as much has 2 million for him if we made it permanent. Gotts was all done until Leeds delayed the deal nit sure on the details. Haven't heard nothing on the willock front. “Haven’t heard nothing” - So you’ve heard something then?

Can’t be doing into a season “not underestimating what it takes to merely survive in this league” With the obvious exception of Mooy, our squad is far stronger than the squad which was promoted 3 years ago. We underperformed in our 2nd prem year. There’s been problems on and off the pitch ofcourse. We are still in a better position to compete in the championship squad and resources wise than we were that year when iirc we broke our transfer record to sign Schindler at £1.8M. We’ve a fair few worth a few bob more than that now. Championship is all about having some harmony within the club, a consistent approach the players understand, obviously you need quality of player, then it’s about confidence and momentum. Of all fans surely Town fans should be the ones who know what can happen in the championship. Yes we can go down having not been in the bottom 4 all season by virtue of 2 Curtis Woodhouse goals, but this is hardly the season we need to be keeping at the forefront when 2017 is so fresh! Woodhouse also became a very capable boxer. I respect your optimism but if you're talking about character and comparing it to the squad of 2017 and there's no comparison That 2017 side was filled with model pros; Loewe (Kaiserslautern captain when signed), Hef (Dresden capatin), Whitehead, Crainie, Kachunga, Hudson and Smith. Plus Hogg and Schinlder (1860 Munich captain when signed) When the pressure was on - i.e. the two penalty shoot outs - we had a lot of level heads The kids may get there but it will take a few seasons to get that experience of first team football Talent is more subjective but if we're talking about some of our high earners (Mounie, Mbenza, Diakhaby) then I don't see how they fit the style Leeds played (which is what CC I assume will play).

No we’ve got O Brien and Prichard as midfield goal threats. I’m convinced RWB is Bacca’s role. He needs space to work in- to accelerate into and that cross- we’ve hardly seen it. He’s got one of the best set piece and open play crosses we’ve had for a long time. Toffolo is the other guy with genuine quality from wide areas. I’m convinced he could be the best rwb in the championship. With Bacuna I think it's getting to the stage where he either brings some consistency to his game or we look to get shut, he's had enough time now under different managers and is often a complete liability, he's looked quite poor in the pre season games I've seen too and very casual. Hope he can knuckle down under the new manager and show come consistency, if not it's time to give up and get rid. Can we give him a position and stick to it, you can't get consistancy when you're fucked about as much as he was by the Pearly pricks

Everybody believes MaynardBlue - and so they should - but has he ever revealed his source? No. I just don't understand why anyone would reasonably expect someone ITK to "grass", and yet there are many on here who constantly demand it.

Maynard is 'the' source should he/she wish to partake in a little reveal now and then. Hopefully people who want gossip or inside information are patient with those ITK because if they were to be 'caught out' and revealed as a source then there would be no more insider info.

Don't think I have seen anything from Maynard since Cowleys went. Wonder if he/she left the club or the source had left too. A few staff members were around a few years under Wagner siewert and Cowleys

Can we give him a position and stick to it, you can't get consistancy when you're fucked about as much as he was by the Pearly pricks Bit chicken and egg eh, like so many before him he's not going to get consistent game time in his favourite position unless he delivers. Then again you might say he wont deliver consistently until he's given an extended run. It might help if he could stop doing idiotic things during games and occasionally strolling round like he's playing in Greenhead park with his mates. Intrigued to see what Carlos et al can get from him.

Reported on a Greek site did a google translation- Former Doxa coach Carlos Corberan wants to acquire Ognjen Vranjes in Huddersfield, according to what is being broadcast in Greece.
Detailed what the website sdna.gr reports:
Huddersfield have reportedly turned their antennas to Ognjen Vranjes, according to what was released a few days ago in England. It should be noted that Carlos Corberan, who recently passed through Cyprus and has a personal report on Bosnia, will be sitting on her bench in the new season.

It should be noted that Carlos Corberan, who recently passed through Cyprus and has a personal report on Bosnia, will be sitting on her bench in the new season. Vranješ has been the subject of many controversies during his career. In August 2010 he wore Delije shirt to celebrate his then club Sheriff Tiraspol eliminating Dinamo Zagreb in UEFA Champions League qualifier, which was construed as provocation.[30] In 2015, he made a tattoo depicting borders of Republika Srpska on his left upper arm, which led to public scrutiny. He later apologized and covered the tattoo up.[31] Because of the tattoo, he had many altercations with BHFanaticos, the largest Bosnian support group.[32] In September 2018, he was sentenced to eight months probation for instigating fan violence over his Facebook page during his time with AEK Athens.[33] Later that year it was spotted that Vranješ had a tattoo of Chetnik duke Momčilo Đujić on his upper right arm, which got him publicly criticized by Bosnian FA and the fans, with whom he already had bad relations.[34] In January 2019, he was once again in center of a scandal, as media reported that he had an affair with Serbian singer Jelena Karleuša, who is married to footballer Duško Tošić.[35]

Reading the "personal life" section of his Wiki makes me hope there's nothing in this. Sounds like a bit of a bell end.
