Just listened to the Bromby interview in full. The man is a classic bullshitter. He said at one point that 'Danny understood stylistically what's expected on the pitch'. In view of what we witnessed during Schofield's short reign what on earth do such words mean? A little later he added, 'We want to represent the supporters in the right way.' Can anyone translate this into meaningful English? And by way of apology re. Schofield's appointment he says, ' I made a decision in the summer, not Dean...' and then ' I head this up', ' I lead this', 'Dean is supporting me.' And then after a lot of gobbledygook about Wagner, ' I haven't offered him the job'. We begin to get the idea. He goes on to talk about coaches with European experience like Wagner and Corberan being used to working in 'our structure' ie. with a Sporting Director, a Head of Analysis, a Head of Physical Performance, a Head of Recruitment. Reading between the lines he clearly does not want his empire to be undermined by anyone with a different perspective on things. He even goes on to say that the next coach has to be the 'right fit'. I would ask you to think about the quality of football that this assemblage of experts has managed to produce over the last two or three years. I said in an earlier post that the balance at the top of the club is wrong. Bromby is at the heart of this and as long as he is able to appoint coaches subservient to himself we will never see the sort of changes that could make Town worth watching again. Absolutely hilarious post, I’ve just thought about the quality of football they’ve produced and it was a third placed finish and a play off final. I’ve been watching since 1981 so 41 years and that was the best league position finish I’ve seen, have you seen better? I think most of us have, 16th in the Premier League in 2017-18 and 20th in the Premier League in 2018-19

I think I may have been. A result of the careful, unadventurous, possession-based football with players using no imagination and avoiding all risks. So risk free and unadventurous that it produced... Our highest EVER points haul in the 2nd flight. The most goals we've scored in a season in 10 years. The first time we've recorded a positive goal difference in 10 years. The fewest amount of goals we've conceded in 30 years. Our highest finishing place on any divisional table in 42 years. ...what more do you want?! ronknee his out of his depth on this one full stop

Nixon saying Anthony Barry in the frame for job. I hope this is as good as his Halifax centre half info. Underwhelming does not come close! As for Bromby I would not trust him with a barge pole. Talk about trying to talk himself up. Why would you not trust bromby with a barge poll? What do you think he’s gonna do with the pole 😳

Oggy and Glennon saying that Wagner was sacked. I thought he walked. I think if Wagner ends up here Bromby may not be around for long... just a feeling. No way . Bromby has been the best we’ve had in this position …….having been a player himself he knows what a good player looks like and their mentality. I would like him to continue his long service at town

I wasn't aware Dave Baldwin (ex Burnley and Football League CEO) was now involved behind the scenes. "Strategic Advisor - Huddersfield Town Football Club" since May according to his LinkedIn. Future CEO, after the dust settles around the ownership? Correct, he’s almost ‘job sharing’ with Deano currently.

Was chatting to someone at one of the major newspapers a couple of weeks ago and general consensus is that Bromby is very well respected.
Judging him from our transfers in the last couple of years, the budget available and all the general uncertainty around the club I’d have to say I’m a fan and despite the Schofield decision at least he’s acted fairly swiftly so deserves time to resolve the situation

Let’s not forget he managed to sell Lewis for less than his release clause. The day after Forest signed lingard on £80,000 a week. Very poor. 200,000

I would like him to continue his long service at town I’m sure DH would agree whole heartedly with that as Bromby is his yes man, but to suggest Bromby is better than people like Ross Wilson, Webber and Webb

I thought it was a good interview
I thought Radio Leeds asked some excellent questions - and I thought Bromby gave open & honest responses - even if I didn’t agree with all & thought a few of them were odd, some BS and borderline delusional!
He knows he has to get this decision right
I still think from listening to that he has too power / say - and the head coach / HOF needs to be working more alongside
He spent 10 minutes praising Wagner including for all his unseen work - creating a system to improve the club throughout - making him seem like his perfect fit etc - That & the comments the other day about no limits. Felt like a plea
But hasn’t spoken to him which doesn’t add up - either 1. Hoyle is speaking to him (Bromby answered the question- have you spoken to him, have you made him an offer) 2. He’s tried to speak to him but hasn’t - and his public admiration is his plea to Wagner

His answers to the Wagner questions are were interesting and tie in with what has been said on here.
Have you offered him the job? Very quick No from Lee.
Will you offer him the job? Long winded answer about how well respected he is by people within the club (by which I read as being Dean).
If he wasn’t going to offer Wagner the job the it would have been a quick No.
There is interest but things standing in the way at the moment (family and issues with old club).
Yesterdays win takes the pressure off. We don’t need to appoint someone tomorrow and will wait a little longer if we get the right person.
They need to work within the DOF/head coach set up and we probably won’t appoint someone who is currently in a decent job at another club.

Listened to that, thought he spoke well and answered some fairly direct questions (for radio Leeds) well.
I’d guess that Hoyle is speaking to Wagner which is why Bromby said he hadn’t.
For all those criticising Bromby, remember the position we were in when we got relegated. We could have easily gone down at least another division, but after a bit of adjusting we got stabilised and re-established in this league. I’d say Bromby more than anyone is responsible for that.

Certainly honest and refreshing in that he accepted the "blame" - totally - for the Danny S appointment.
Defended Dean totally and repeatedly - I'm genuinely undecided whether that was a very very sychophantic attempt to please his boss, or Dean really is a hero.
One thing seems crystal clear - Hoyle and Bromby have created a wonderful system and strucure or their own empire (take your pick) - Head of this, Head of that, departments galore - that they have no intention of allowing anyone to dismantle.
That rules out any managers who are "characters" - Dyche,Warnock,Greaves,Buxton etc type - and necessitates the appointment of someone who will accept this set-up.
Again, I'm undecided (I'm not really) - he's either trying to appoint a "yes" man who will maintain the status quo and knows his place with Mr Bromby at the top or is trying to appoint a superb coach who is understandably happy with the wonderful set-up we now have ...again, depends on your personal opinion.
I would be amazed if we appoint a well-known experienced man with strong views - I wouldn't be amazed if we appoint the Chelsea man or a foreign coach.
One thing is certain - the boat is NOT going to be rocked.

Great post and I agree 100%. Time to go for me. I mean what has he done in football ? Great manager last season. Decent recruitment but ultimately failed. This season he has given us a very in balanced squad. Just watching Scott high come on for Rotherham. They are way above us in the league. Days numbered. You talk complete and utter shite

But failed to assess that Schofield, a former player and someone who is part of their process, was not going to cut it as Head Coach.
At least he fronted up that he was wrong. Many wouldn't have.

After reading some of their fans talk both before and after the final I want them straight back down.

You’d have to be mad to argue the system isn’t achieving for us.

One thing is certain - the boat is NOT going to be rocked. It’s a lot more cost efficient to have a long term plan than rip something up every time you get a new manager in. Most of your old school characters will insist on 3/4 new players at a very minimum, that’s a few million in wages at a minimum. Far better for a club like ours to get a manager that accepts the current system and slots in rather than rips it up. Also it’s worked very well (Schofield aside) so why would we want to change it? Plenty of other clubs below us in the pyramid of a bigger or similar size that don’t have a plan and would be very happy to swap places.

We won’t be interviewing Wagner we know what he’s all about. He either wants it or we look elsewhere Maybe not a traditional 'sell yourself to us' interview but i'm sure there would be some sort of process. It's a different club to the one he left and will need to make sure both are aligned. Probably interviewing eachother I imagine some chortling as Dean asks him take a seat and not be too nervous etc

I think the one issue we may have with getting him is he's only recently been made germany under 20's coach but the lure of club management may prove to be strong. he's been linked to a few jobs over here and I think he'd be an interesting option, especially if we are wanting to go back to a pressing game like under wagner. my heart wants wagner but my head says Wolf is the better option for us

Wernt we linked with him before? maybe before siewart? Yeah think his name has done the rounds before, just seems to fit what we’re looking for young, ambitious but also has the experience of management at clubs with higher expectations than our own and I’d imagine be familiar to the structures bromby goes on about in his interview . I’d love Wagner but if we can’t get him he’d be on my list.

Such unbalanced opinions.
