Spot on. I would also like these people to highlight where he apparently slagged Warnock off. All he said was the truth in terms of the performance. I don't think I'm exactly where you are, but jeez, that tweet has been blown out of all proportion, and in many cases by folk that genuinely come out with vitriol. It may not have been wise, but as much as Warnock may be a bit of narcissist (not meant too harshly, he carries it well lol), but he's no soft shrinking violet that will have lost a second's sleep over it. I dont think there was anything wrong with saying the performance was unacceptable and we deserve better. He didn't pick on specific players, he just said what a lot of people were thinking. Said from the beginning if Warnock decided to leave over that he was not the thick skinned person I thought he was. I dont believe that was the reason either, they obviously parted on ok terms because he stayed on for a while. If it was so contentious he would have walked straight out. |

Asked if he had any regrets over his tweet or if Warnock’s response had played any part in the decision to change managers, Nagle said: “Not at all. I saw there was certain feedback that was coming on Twitter that was really a broad over-reaction.
“I will say this much, when I made that tweet, it was really [intended that] from top to bottom, we all have to do better. That was the broader message, whether I was here for one week or one month or six months, we just need to do better from A to Z. There was no-one that was ever called out…people felt like we were calling people out, absolutely not. From my standpoint, that was maybe an over-reaction on the part of the readers.
“We had a great experience with Neil. [He and his staff] did everything asked of them and then some. But we also knew there was going to be a period of time [when we made the change]…not even necessarily one year, but whenever the right time was, and I think we’ve progressed rather quickly in our processes.
“There’s never a great time when you’re going to make a change, so we knew we were going to make the change at some point and it came sooner than later. That’s really it more than anything else.
“We approached Neil, as we had even in our discussions beforehand: Neil had said ‘look, if you guys feel that it’s time and you’re ready, let us know and we’ll have a discussion’. So we did, and it was all super-positive as you can tell. There was nothing that was forced on anybody.”www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/nagle-huddersfield-town-warnock-decision-27895827(They've got more which will no doubt be drip-fed this coming week). I think he should be careful referring to 'discussions beforehand'! Wouldn't want the Football League thinking he was interfering with the operation of a football club before being ratified as an owner!! |

Were many people thinking it? I don’t think so I missed one game home and away before Ipswich, and all I saw was one bad second half against Norwich,( that after having made 2 stupid mistakes in an otherwise good first half) and lacklustre start at Plymouth. Not sure Nagle watched the Norwich game, otherwise he wouldn’t have made that comment. He certainly hadn’t taken into account our dreadfully weak squad. I never lacked confidence in our ability to survive . I do now |

From reading what Nagle says, he formed an opinion on the match from comments he'd seen on social media.
I hope to God that he doesn't make decisions based on what fans say on Twitter.

I’m more likely to say why the fcuk haven’t we got any strikers whilst the one we loaned out got another goal and an assist today you c***. |

Some very good interviews by Kevin and it is clear to me the direction he wants us to go in. Clearly, he sees the ultimate goal of us getting back in the Prem, but also it is clear he knows that is not something that can happen until we improve in certain areas, which he intends to do.
Overall, all gravy for me so far from Mr. Nagle. And I fully expect him to splash a bit in January to not only ensure we stay up but hopefully push us up the table a bit.

Read the article.
He wants to create bigger revenue streams. But in the short term we haven’t invested in team - so how do you expect more people to attend matches when there is nothing to excite them
On the pitch ?

I have just seen the latest in the breakdown of the interview with Mr Nagle in the Examiner. As with all Mr Nagle's communication to date it is positive, comes across as genuine and relatable.
It is massively encouraging that Mr Nagle maintains communication and I haven’t heard anything that concerns me about Town's future.
With that being said, and Mr Nagle deserves time for things to shake out, I think my only slight worry is if the assessment of the 1st team isn't a little naive?
I think it was a bold choice to move NW when they did, acknowledging he was always going to leave, with, for me, significant weaknesses in the squad. We aren't weaker than last season, but we are still to address the weaknesses that the squad has (notably up front and in midfield). NW was getting the very best from the squad, I think it would have been enough to keep us in the Championship.
I don't have a problem with DM but the time of the change didn't really look at the team with a degree of reality. Time will tell but I do worry a little the club may be guilty of being overly optimistic and a bit of naive thinking. In short DM doesn't have abundant quality to experiment with and he needs to find a pragmatic way to win games, as NW did.
For all the many positive messages it is on the pitch that will determine how Mr Nagle is judged. He hear him say that he understands this, but I am not completely convinced he has got it.
The next weeks to January will go a long way to shape the Nagle era. Hopefully we will see steady progress that follows the Nagle plan.

Other than the lack of a prolific striker, I dont think our squad is that bad at all really.
Warnock saw it as a group capable of competing at the higher end and I agree with him.
If we get a undue amount of injuries at the same time like we did last season then its going to struggle to cope, but pretty much every squad in the division is like that.
And pretty much every club will have fans thinking their squad has glaring weaknesses in it.

What is it that makes Kev and his team think he can increase income/revenue? Dean Hoyle might not be everyone’s cup of tea but he’s not a fool. If it was that easy why has no one before managed it?
Put up season ticket prices and charge more for beer, what more can you do?

And pretty much every club will have fans thinking their squad has glaring weaknesses in it. I wouldn't necessarily disagree but I would make a couple of observations: The Championship looks more competitive this season, what was competitive last season needs to be better this season. I think we all agree that we are short up front, I would argue we lack a ball playing midfielder too. As you also elude to our squad depth is weak. As I said in my original post I do worry if Mr Nagle and team think we are in a better position than we are. As it stands DM has one main role; win the games required to keep Town in the Championship. With luck with injuries and performances like against Ipswich he can do that. Fall below that standard and we will struggle. DM has been given a tough hand to play with and I think that is why I worry about the naivety that I elude to. Performances, and results, will dictate but if things don't go smoothly I hope Mr Nagle and team look at the squad as well assessing DM as a leader/coach. I'm slightly less optimistic than you but hope the benchmark against Ipswich can be maintained. |

Put up season ticket prices and charge more for beer, what more can you do? They can develop the stadium and use it drive revenue too, but that requires investment. I suspect DH wasn't willing/able to make that investment (probably for good reasons). Whatever the truth the stadium isn't a quick fix to generate more revenue, but it is an opportunity (of sorts). |

I'm slightly less optimistic than you but hope the benchmark against Ipswich can be maintained. What we have is ok but we lack the sprinkling of 2 or 3 genuine quality players that a lot of other sides have. Players that other teams would want and would pay good money for. We had that in 21/22 with LOB, Colwill and in the second half of the season Toff. We lacked anyone last season and the difference was clear. Helik is starting to look real quality imo but going forward we don't have it. We don't need a mass clear out, just a few quality players to lift everyone else. |

Ben Wiles is the ball-playing midfielder, not showing a lot so far but his past record is too good to suggest it won’t come |

It is good that we have a positive story from our management.
I have had a long history of working for companies where the CEO has spoken positively of the future while making cutbacks and making people redundant. I am not saying that anyone is not telling us what they hope to achieve, but that wishing and talk will not make anything improve.
We need to see some positive actions.
So far we have had a big clearout in the summer and we have a paper thin, weaker squad and a change in the manager that so far have not helped us to improve.
It is early days and taking on the ownership of the stadium will only cost the owner money in the short term.
I will only say that the Premiership in 3 years looks to be a long shot.
I can't blame anyone for taking the positive from any comments from the owner, since last few years it has all been backward steps and our current position is not that positive.
It could all change in January, lets hope.
