As long as this bloke is in charge of recruitment,Huddersfield Town will be in Div.1 {or lower} ad infinitum! This 100%, let’s not forget after overseeing one of the most piss poor seasons in recent memory the bloke instead of being contrite and apologising actually stated we were in a better position for it !! Has everyone who is eagerly anticipating January suffered amnesia and forgot last January ? The evidence up to press doesn’t point to a a big improvement in the squad in January. The evidence on the recruitment is staring us in the face. Radulovic - Abosloutely pathetic signing, a million quid we might as well have set fire to. Ladapo - Panic buy, absolute cart horse. ‘Tracking him all summer’ FFS. Sorensen - really good in patches early on, dropped off of late and can’t defend for toffee. Balker - crock Healey - big underlying injury issues Evans - ok in small patches but can’t get a game Miller - comfortably best of the bunch Wiles - Bought as a Championship player but miles off that level. Then you look at the managerial appointments Getting rid of Warnock 7 games into the season - madness Replacing him with Darren Moore - awful appointment Breitenreiter - wrong time for a manager like that, another clanger. Duff - jury still out for me, decent bloke but the football is in the main utterly drab and uninspiring. Probably missed some off but the body of evidence of Cartwright’s work up to press doesn’t fill me with hope for January. I really like Nagle but, I fear it will be a load more of the owners money thrown down the toilet. But in Nagle's view this is a good job he is doing! what the hell is a bad job then in his eyes? Cartwright is in the role and doing things, that only help himself and his buddies out. I feel of late the diary entries of Nagle and Dave have shown a little bit, that they think we as fans are stupid or something. No chaps the only two who are stupid seems to be you two in employing a chancer , who is using the club to help himself and no one else. They don't seem to take it seriously, well lads , at the end of the season, when we are not promoted and season tickets drop off the edge of the cliff. Then you might take it more seriously.
Nagle really has to say what Cartwright has on him or something, to still be in a job of such athuority , yet to be so bad at it .

Agree with last season it was panic and gamble and failed This season signings comments in * Ladapo - Panic buy, absolute cart horse. ‘Tracking him all summer’ FFS. *striker signing big gap in summer, but he scored 19 this level only 2y ago.. why not doing it here? Sorensen - really good in patches early on, dropped off of late and can’t defend for toffee. *POTY this level last season. Best signing imo, if dropped off why, didn’t at Lincoln? Evans - ok in small patches but can’t get a game *POTY this level last season, why he can’t be do that here? Miller - comfortably best of the bunch. Plus Kane - *league one play offs last year, slow start improving since changed shape of the 3, why not at previous levels of performance? Longwijk - *Promoted this level with Plymouth, doing ok but if not at that level here why? Marshall - *NI international highly regarded. Limited to judge him on Hodge - *Highly regarded championship last year. Ditto |

...when you say 'you two are stupid for emplpying a chancer...' I don't think Dave is involved at all in the recruitment....he is just acting as eyes and ears on the ground with fans as far as I know. I would imagine Edwards is the one who actually employed Carthorse and it was signed off ultimately by Nagle...... |

The point i was making is them two having a laugh about it, sort of taking the piss out of the fans over it. The joke is not on us for employing him, its on Nagle for employing him and Dave as his friend for allowing the joke . Edwards was and is always going to help his mate out , he is also part of the issue that we have a band of mates it seems . Who seemingly are helping themselves out and not the club. Dave is just helping Nagle make it all out to be a right  , talking about Cartwright growing a fucking beard. Lads this is a professional football club , please treat it as such. You really do get the feeling that Nagle is just here for the giggles and to say he owns a English football club or something. As for a man who has apparnetly billions of dollars in the bank, he himself or has allowed so many mistakes to happen it makes you wonder how he made a dollar never mind billions. |

You can assess each signing, and everyone will have a view, but we haven't built a team.
Every team needs a solid spine and although you can make a case for Nicholls, Pearson/Helik being a decent base the middle and top is either woefully inconsistent or very weak.
There is no identity or character either. I know that has been discussed in detail but it is a real issue.
The model doesn't seem to work either, well I would argue not at this level. Having a DOF and recruitment team who pick players and then a manager seems flawed for League One. The old school approach of recruiting characters who are capable and trusted, or scouting new ones who fit what is needed.
I was hoping that Duff might significantly shape the recruitment but that doesn't appear to have happened. He certainly talks as if he is a manager who has been parachuted in to a team e.g. "we are getting to know them", "there is a soft underbelly (from the past - but many of these players signed in the summer??)", "Rome wasn't built in a day@ (which is fair enough but it wasn't also built on dubious foundations.
I suppose the truth is there was far more work required to turn Town around than any of us realised. It might be the case but have we got the right people steering the course? That is the question that needs addressing by Mr Nagle.

I'm not certain, but wasn't he successful early on with one or two signings from abroad - and then, as you say, it/he got worse and worse and the Stoke supporters were absolutely delighted when he left. I know there are "experts" and paid professionals who know more about football than each individual supporter, but I'm 100% certain that if the powers that be look on each clubs Supporters Forums to get a rough picture then surely that would be helpful. I'm not suggesting that a club should bring in/disregard players/managers etc based on supporters' wishes but just a look at what the respective supporters said about Healey's injury record,Sorensen's defending, Lapado's past-it-ness (!) etc it might have some re-thinks. On a separate note, and I generally support Kevin Nagle, I do think that his and Carmichael Dave's joking of the supporters' criticism of Cartwright was very poor. |

I'm not a Cartwright apologist, would be happy to see him out the door, think he comes across as a bit of a chode and think there's a number of red flags since he came in here but this "was awful at Stoke how did he ever get another job" thing is a bit silly. It's OTT and makes peoples valid complaints and concerns just look like a witch hunt.
He was appointed in December 12 following a 14th place finish. They then came 13th, 9th, 9th, 9th, 13th before then getting relegated when we stayed up. The manager he appointed first at Stoke lasted 5 years, a massive rarity these days. Yes it then went sour after getting just 1 season to get Stoke back to the Premier League but was any sane Stoke fan moaning about him during the 5 seasons of 13th-9th? There seems to be a lot of revisionism about his time at Stoke and talk of him wasting money but his signings cant have all been that bad to spend 5 years in mid table with absolutely no threat of relegation, whilst evolving from a bunch of Pulis hoofers to a reasonably footballing side.

I don,t give a toss what he did at Stoke,It,s what he is doing {or not doing as he should} at the club we all support that is doing my nut in. Question..Is Nagle giving enough money to alter the recruitment problem?

Radulovic and Ladapo especially the first as the 2nd looks shocking but hasn’t had much game time , have been atrocious signings. Healey might be a great player but his injury record meant the signing was a huge risk especially if the 2million price is anywhere near correct.
The striker signings alone not even going into other areas has been nothing short of pathetic. No way can KN be happy with what Cartwright has done so far especially up front , he may be joking with Dave but at the end of the day he secretly must be fuming.

Nagle wont get rid of Cartwright , as its an admission of getting it wrong. Nagle didn't get where he is by being wrong, therefore he wont admit this mistake . It shows how out of touch / not reading the room Nagle is, by saying he is doing a "great job". If he thinks that , then he clearly does not care about where the club is going and is either willing to spaf money up the wall or is having fun then going to fuck off soon ?

Yes but I just think it's completely separate to what Kevin will be thinking privately about his performance. Yes I find it hard to believe that someone as savvy as KN wont be extremely disappointed at how Cartwright has spent his money so far. Think there are mitigating circumstances with some of the players around injuries and losing signings through no fault of our own, but overall it would be hard to argue its been anything other than poor. Cartwright has to be on thin ice, but Ive been thinking that for a long time now and he hasnt fallen through it yet. Maybe January will be his last chance saloon? The players Bromby brought in without spending a penny on transfer fees is making Cartwright's efforts whilst spending millions look dismal IMO. |

Cartwright receives so much flak on here. RL keep half an eye and must realise that there is a good reason to interview him. We don’t really know what he actually does. For instance, does he recommend and someone else has the final say on player purchases? What is the process in acquiring a potential purchase? Is it a full time job, bearing in mind that nothing can be done after the January window?
Ogden is so spineless, that Cartwright should be able to run rings around any questions that Ogden thinks up, but Oggy could hide behind the phrase “fans are telling us…. How do you answer those points?”

What gets me, is just what did KN or JE see in this guy to appoint him, when his track record at Stoke (a club in many ways comparable to ours) was one of abject failure? Cartwright worked in the USL as a sporting director at the same time as Jake Edwards being the president of the USL, I believe both share the same agents. Safe to say they probably knew each other before working at Town. Good job Cartwright interviews well…. |

January is creeping up fast.
We all know Nagle will give Cartwright money to bring in a striker and he'll end up spending it on a lad that's hardly played for half a season that we'll spend two months trying to get fit, just like Healey, Radulovic and Ladapo.
Step forward Joe Taylor. Played 83 minutes so far this season.

Mosh, if we had 800k and 12k a week to spend on a striker a few months ago, then its likely in January we should have more options than a 5th choice at Luton who hasnt played much for quite a while. I dont have the options but its not my job to continually be looking for them🤔 |

How do you answer those points?” My guess on this is they identify weaknesses in the team, they try other squad players..then have an intensive coaching period and try the players again..if that still doesn't work they (the coaching staff/Duff) go to management, identify the problem..explain what they've tried with existing players /formations/extra coaching and make a request for a replacement..a player that ticks the boxes that we're wanting. Cartwright gives it the nod, or not and speaks with KN,explains and seeks approval to spend £1m..or so. If KN agrees Cartwright gets on his laptop, puts in a search and identifies 4 or 5 possibilities.. These are then debated with Duff and his coaching team and collectively they agree on the main target...Cartwright then sets about the negotiations. That's what I'd expect the process to be, that Duff and his coaches assess the potential targets that have been presented by Cartwright. Now the 'issue' seems to be the quality of whats on offer, how Cartwright selects which players..how extensive that search is..and why Duff agrees to the recruitment we've made rather than say, non of these are good enough ? |

, talking about Cartwright growing a fucking beard. Lads this is a professional football club , please treat it as such. You really do get the feeling that Nagle is just here for the giggles and to say he owns a English football club or something. As for a man who has apparnetly billions of dollars in the bank, he himself or has allowed so many mistakes to happen it makes you wonder how he made a dollar never mind billions.
