Sadly I missed that one game against Cardiff. Its a shame because apparently we played like Brazil in 1970. Not quite although Nicholls did save a pen.  |

Honestly I despair with this club. So now a new manager will have a maximum of 14 games to save us. With a fixture list from hell after the next 3. Brilliant work town. Clowns Totally unsavable unless we get a substantial (probably minimum seven) points haul from the next three games... If we don’t then even The wizard of oz would struggle with that gruesome impending fixture list - Still, no matter what, a team’s for life and not just the festive season, so I’ll still be down to support HTAFC for my spring match all being well ! |

Clowns We can look at a fixture list and think a possible three points here, a defeat there, etc etc...but football is not an exact science, its always ready to throw up surprising sequences of results. |

I’m confused why people are so livid about the current situation. Fozzy had to go afte Blackpool, and that’s 100% the right decision. He has to go before Wigan at the weekend otherwise imagine the meltdown on here
A new lad will manage the team this weekend, and hopefully we will see something different from the squad. And if it takes two or three weeks to find the new permanent manager then so be it. That’s got to be better then 3 more weeks of that useless prick.
Yes they should have been prepared and had a succession plan, but with the clowns at the top and the uncertainty in a takeover coming or not coming then I don’t think a 3 week wait is too bad
Maybe in that time a takeover and new gaffer will be announced at the same time

Historically Town have got more of a bounce from caretaker managers than permanent managers. I think you have to go back to Grayson to find a permanent manager who got a win in their first two matches. Also look at Carrick, Corberan and Wagner this year, they all lost their first match in charge despite having big success since.
We've got 3 huge matches in 10 days, I think seeing if we can get a bounce from Pelach over those games might be a safer bet than getting somebody external in who doesn't know the players and has to get his ideas across.
Giving him the job until the end of the season at this stage would be crazy, and I'm sure if we get a poor points haul over the next 3 there will be a new manager in pretty quick. On the flip side if he wins the next 3, I still wouldn't make him permanent manager, but it might make sense to stick with him a little longer, depending on what else is available.
There isn't anybody we could appoint that would guarantee us 7-9 points over these next 3 games, but I think our chances have improved significantly with Pelach in charge rather than Fotheringham.

Nowhere more than the Championship!!! Any team can beat any team on its day. Every single matchday this season, there are teams near the bottom or in the relegation zone who have taken points of the top 6,7 or 8 apart from Town it would seem... I just hope and pray that we work out how to jump on this bandwagon for the last 14 games and give ourselves a wee chance of pulling off The miracle great Escape ! |

Nixon:
Huddersfield are widening their search for a new boss - with Liam Richardson emerging as a contender.
Terriers are facing snags landing Chris Wilder and have made contact with other potential replacements for Mark Fotheringham.
Wilder is favoured within the club but it may be the wrong time and circumstances to land him with the club in trouble and looking for a buyer.
Former Wigan boss Richardson has become a live alternative. He has been linked with other jobs recently and is keen to work.
Charlton’s Dean Holden has also been linked but he may be seeking a longer contract with the League One club who are also facing major takeover issues.
However all bosses are only going to be offered a deal until the end of the season.

where has this 3 week thing come from ? Who knows? Pelach finds in a mate who will come in on a short term rolling contract to help fill the void of losing 2 coaches this week and that means hes got the job until the end of the season because x, y and z have turned us down. Its a bit like Schofield being recalled from a waste of his time loan at Hibs meant he was going to be our number 1 for the rest of the season. |

Leam Richardson is on the shortlist unfortunately.
Warnock not interested, haven't heard we've approached him but he's clearly not interested at all. Personal reasons

Did very well in worse circumstances. Let's not have another time where everyone meltdown because it isn't Wilder or Warnock like it was last time with Wagner. |

Sounds like it might be less but it could take 10 days to do that. |

And what was his record like? Not heard of him before. I think people will have a meltdown if we don’t get wilder, but I’d be very surprised if we could lure him here. He was meant to be on big money at boro and had a much larger transfer and wage budget there. |

A few people have said Leam Richardson lives ‘extremely’ locally - will be convenient for him if nothing else 😁

I think any manager with any confidence in themselves as a manager at all, will be very confident of keeping us up this season. We're not cut adrift, 15 points from safety! We're a point from safety with a game in hand and a squad that has been obviously hugely underperforming all season. |

No you’re right in terms of us not being dead and buried it was more the fact we’re in between owners, no real structure and someone who has been used to a bit of a war chest, he hasn’t got a transfer window with us and there’s a likelihood a new owner would replace him come summer. |

Nobody has a clue who we are interviewing, or not interviewing as if we remember last time Wagner had the job nailed on . Next thing you know Fotheringham had the job, who wasn't even on a bookies list, therefore let Baldwin or whoever is doing the recuriting/ hope to god its not Bromby get on with it, as all these rumours of Wilder been out of the country , go along with the idea that Wagner didn't want/ his wife din't want to move back this country , then look what happend where ish e again ? o in this country . Whover is liked/ apparently close to our job never ever gets it , that is my point, it will take as long as it needs to Baldwin has expeirence and seems to be able to sniff out idiots , he sniffed out Bromby and Fotheringham rather quickly by all reports. Therefore if he is doing the mangers job process, i am sure he will get it a lot more spot on than previous .
