I arrived in Huddersfield from Lancashire six years ahead of you. My family moved over as missionaries, hoping to civilise the natives. Obviously it didn’t work but I’m still here! From Lancashire??? Be gone, foul beast!!!

It's a two-horse race now between Duff and a foreign manager who the bookies aren't tracking. The appointment is to be announced this week and they're to take charge early next week. Second-hand information from a hit-and-miss source, but the hits are from way out of the blue often enough for me to think they are "in the know". Interesting, love to know who the foreign manager is.

Whoever we give the contract to, i would prefer it to be long term rather than short term. Players have had so many managers in and out, Believe This is Pearson’s 6/7th manger since he joined for the club?
Would be nice to have some stability

Players want to play football - not 10 behind the ball for a 0-0. Duff is the worst choice that we could (and probably will) make. DLLDL (forecast) if Duff's in charge.

This all reminds me of a Saturday night at my house when i ask the wife what take away she would like.
Any! Not bothered. Is always the answer, any would be better than cooking.
I then proceed to name every take away under the sun and she says no to all of them.

Does anyone know of any forums/websites where you can get information on who might be the next Town manager? I've signed up to one but so far there's just been 67 pages of bollocks.

Duff, apparently, is represented by Beswick Sports of Stoke 🫣

Well, if it were up to me I'd not have sacked Chris Powell and thought replacing him with a reserve team coach from Germany who didn't even know Huddersfield existed two weeks before he got the job was a potty idea.
So it shows what I know about appointing football managers.

What is the absolute best we can hope for from Duff? I don't hate the appointment as think he has similar values to Dyche and that should fit well with us, but at the same time I see absolutely no chance we're in the Premier League in 3 years with him.
Maybe 2/3 mid table finishes a bit of stability, it wouldn't harm. Not sure Nagle will be happy with that mind. Either way il be stunned if MC is still at this club in 12 months time as it really just shows how limited he is again.

I never beleived Cartwright when he said me and Moore always wanted to work together after meeting him during my Stoke days. There has to be more to it than just one meeting.

Do you know either points are correct? I think its fair to assume its Duff at this point, if there was another candidate interviewing seriously we would know by now. Particularly as I expect the club will want to announce the new manager before the weekend so he can start Monday first thing. Again I prefer Duff to Hecky, listened to a few of his interviews, one in lockdown. Has a close relationship with Dyche and his mannerisms are very similar. It just feels very very limited we go and get the guy who we couldn't get in the summer.

If it ultimately is Duff then you really do have to wonder what the point of the whole process and fortnight delay was.
He could be a successful manager here - his record is OK - but there's no getting around the fact that he's the easiest, most convenient option. That's even before any mention of who he's represented by...
The wait actually gives me hope that it's someone outside the box, but it would be very Town to wait two weeks, interview 12 people, and then employ Michael Duff.

Either way il be stunned if MC is still at this club in 12 months time as it really just shows how limited he is again. I think the first paragraph is where I’m at with it. Don’t see us going down this year,it’s not very exciting but could see stability in seasons to come. Like you say though not sure how the football will sit with Kev.That said if your winning more games the style probably doesn’t have the same impact.Plus from what I gather Kev is the one driving the appointment so it can’t really be laid at the door of MC so much. Would prefer something more exciting but if for whatever reason those deals don’t make sense then maybe we go with duff. One big thing is if it doesn’t start well because it won’t be 100% backed by fans it again could turn quickly.
