It seems to me that htafcokay has taken over the mantle of NickHudds in many peoples' eyes.... Give the lad a break. His opinion is just as worthy as any other. Life's too short for haranguing a fellow Town fan. All too common on here,seem plenty just want an argument

It seems to me that htafcokay has taken over the mantle of NickHudds in many peoples' eyes.... Give the lad a break. His opinion is just as worthy as any other. Life's too short for haranguing a fellow Town fan. My only umbridge was with his references to Kevin Nagle and the stadium. 'I don't trust him at all'. That's fine but can be considered slightly negative when the bloke is quite clearly doing everything he can to make the club work. Everyone is allowed an opinion and so they should but prepare to be challenged if someone doesn't agree. God knows I've had that plenty on here over the years. I understand fans concerns over the stadium I really do. I was there 10 years ago with my illuminous t shirt on lamenting the transfer of the clubs shares into Huddersfield Sporting pride for 2 quid. What I will say though is that the future of the stadium is as uncertain as it has ever been and with Kirklees wanting nothing to do with it I would much rather it be in the hands of the club than some other person/enterprise. The stadium and land is the key to how we make ourselves successful in the future. In my opinion of course

He's waiting for Nagle to do something to gain his truth. I've posted before that I didn't trust Dean Hoyle from the off. He hadn't done anything wrong but I didn't trust him from the moment I first clapped eyes on him when he was stood watching the queue outside the shop when the gold centenary away shirt was launched. I couldn't tell you why, it was instinctively.

They do say first impressions are usually right...trust your instincts.. personally I am very much the same , if I don't take them first time I meet them then I'll never take to them..this despite friends saying 'oh he's ok...' only to find years later they've had a fall out with them...

We are not an attractive proposition and people need to realise that if the status quo remains then that is going to be worse for us in the long run than taking a punt on someone who has a track record of success (albeit in America).

We have been in existence since 1908, 85 years of those 115 years have been spent in the top two tiers of English football. You call me negative yet you're willing to talk down our club? We are exactly where we belong, in the Championship.

Given you have stated you don't trust Nagle, what would make you trust a prospective new owner? I trust you have read up about Kirklees refusing to invest another penny into KSDL? Who foots that bill? A few questions there but I simply can't agree with your point of view. *edit- you also say you don't agree. What did I say in my comment that is untrue?

He already owns the club and could inflict far more damage on us if he wished
5 years down the line he could still sell us to a dodgy business man
Are those opposed to him owning the stadium opposed to him owning the club too??
He has said in his latest interview that he recognises trust has to be earned...surely we have to start somewhere and have a little faith and only start having a go when he doesn't do what he's said he's going to do
I can see more positives at the moment than negatives

Because you have a very negative outlook on here. You might not think you do but all I read from you is the opposite of support. I've genuinely no idea what was in that post for you to have a go at him over 🤷. There was no complaining or negativity in it at all. It was a build up of frustration after reading countless negative posts about the new owner and investment in the stadium. I get that KN has to earn folks trust, but while he’s making the right noises what is the point of not being supportive of what he’s trying to do? I don’t understand why when the news coming out of the club is positive people would try and put a negative spin on it.

My post had nothing to do with the news coming out of the club and wasn't negative in the slightest. It was about a ground that got demolished nearly 30 years ago. You just wanted to have a go because it's easy and then when challenged, you couldn't point out any negatives in the post.

Apologies.

KN knows he has his doubters and the rabid dogs that attack him on Twitter but seemed fairly chilled recognising it's always a minority that want things NOW. I'm personally very optimistic about KN, he has broad ranging visions for Town primarily to increase our revenues but to upscale us on the world stage..Obviously there's money it for himself otherwise he's just chucking money away so he'll be highly motivated to make all these plans work won't he. if he fails, and doesn't deliver then he'll be the number one loser .
