Not signing players for the division we are playing in is a recipe for disaster,how many Premier League players did we sign when we played there? We’re ahead of the game for next season though with last summer’s recruitment.

The thing that always got me about that (and I’ve not read the book, so he may explain it) was he couldn’t talk his way out of it. If he’d said it was for a bet and then donated £10k to a local children’s hospital, for example, everyone would have said fair play, good lad. I think he was just as thick as pig shit. Yes, that was my conclusion too!

A man who wore an anti-Sunderland shirt while playing for Sunderland. Never was the sharpest toon in the shed! He claims he was stitched up in his book. A bit like that time they found him barely conscious in the toilets at The Cavalry Arms covered in white powder*. *Allegedly.

It’s the fact he gambled on us going up when he could have sold and then refused to back us when it went wrong. That’s what’s the killer, especially after “selling” to someone who could only afford to buy the club by using the club’s own money. I keep reading this. Why would all the issues that are getting in the way of selling the club now...not least that he doesnt even own it ...have vanished if he wanted to sell it last season? Hes been 'backing us' with £100k a week all season. Does that really not register at all? We don’t know due to the NDAs, but even if we accept the money he has pumped in has kept us going, it seems reasonable to assume he had offers to buy the club.

Everything seems to be encapsulated into 'entitled' now. Any kind of criticism of Hoyle and a 'people will say Im entitled' line gets sulkily trotted out. Whinge and moan at the mistakes hes made to your hearts content if it floats peoples boat, it doesnt make them entitled. Ive only ever used the word 'entitled' to those who feel entitled to hoyles money ( sorry Ern.. they feel entitled that the club should have Hoyles money) ... and then a lot more of his money on top, like its his duty to spaff all his wealth on their hobby. If thats not you, then theres no need to get all perturbed by the word. No no no, let's not mould a pile of shit into a penguin. The club are entitled to his money to keep it running at a championship level because he put himself in that position to do so. I don't expect us to be run on a champions league budget but I also don't expect us to be run on a league 1 budget either, especially when we were play off finalists last year and 16000 of us pit our money in. Alas, that's where we are. It’s the fact he gambled on us going up when he could have sold and then refused to back us when it went wrong. That’s what’s the killer, especially after “selling” to someone who could only afford to buy the club by using the club’s own money.

Surely at some point we get a massive slice of luck, a bad decision in our favour (penalty or red card or offside goal), catch a team on a real off day, Rudoni scores (okay, maybe that’s asking a bit too much although I like the lad), the keeper has a mare, something, anything … we’ll win one of the next four “difficult” games, maybe a point in another. Until we’re in administration, there’s a tiny glimmer of hope. Not much, but a glimmer, and just a fluke result could be a much needed boost to our confidence.

Rather give him THE clap now he's not our manager My sentiments exactly! Remember going to Birmingham when Lee Clark was manager and the Town fans were singing 'Clarky, Clarky give us a '. And the daft sod did! Needless to say the Birmingham fans were less than impressed. The task for the South Stand on Wednesday should be to try and get Wagner to do the same. Might be the only entertainment we get. A man who wore an anti-Sunderland shirt while playing for Sunderland. Never was the sharpest toon in the shed!

What about the hundreds of non-playing staff? The local businesses? Are they just being “entitled” expecting Deano to pay their mortgages and feed their families? I suspect he’ll be ok whatever happens. Keep supporting the Tories and raising money for the charities he deems worthy. Reel you're neck in lad. I've personally done loads of those HTFC arranged events for "charities he deems worthy", contributing £10,000 pounds to people who really need it, not gobshites in an online football forum. “Charity is a cold, grey, loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at whim.” Clement Attlee

If Administration is the only way to solve the Ownership issue and move forward, then so be it. Huddersfield Town seem to be a bit of a roller coaster and all I want at this stage is the club to be stable going forward. Whether that's the Championship or League 1, we are where we are so to speak. What about the hundreds of non-playing staff? The local businesses? Are they just being “entitled” expecting Deano to pay their mortgages and feed their families? I suspect he’ll be ok whatever happens.

I really hope talk of administration is just that. Not from a footballing point of view (barring a miracle it’s looking like we’re doomed), but just for the “little folk” it would affect. The lower paid non-playing staff at the club, local businesses … it would be the ultimate act of betrayal for a community club, the Yorkshire club, working class club or whatever other useless slogan we’ve trotted out. Otherwise the big sleep out or next bike ride could be for the plight of local people. Forget the petty bickering, the club needs to do the right thing here.

Phil has been made the scapegoat, Dean Hoyle has a lot to answer for to the demise of our club. He sought out PH to get the best deal for himself, someone who agreed to use the club’s money (parachute payments and player sales) to “buy” the club so DH could claw as much money back as he could. He gambled on getting to the Premier League last season and when it failed again took what he could, losing the manager and better players in the process. He’s gambled the club’s future through pure greed.

How is he doing? Saw that excellent goal he got the other week which lead to some fans asking why we let him go.. He’s our best player. Make of that what you will considering the season we’re having.

Anyone with Now TV? It usually comes up under “bonus streams” if it’s on Sky red button. So far, nothing that I can find.

Or perhaps Warnock is so loyal to Hoyle that he’s decided to taint his legacy in solidarity.

Warnock is heading a consortium trying to get the club for as cheap as possible. It’s the only explanation I can come up with at the moment.

We need to win. We need to score goals. We need some creativity. Knockaert and Rhodes must start. Kalas is out for them, big centre back so hopefully can exploit an understrength defence. Someone else missing who is half-decent too I think, can’t think of the name offhand. Ffs, neither even in the squad. What’s going on? We’re fucked aren’t we?

I remember being ridiculed last season for saying the squad was weak and realistically should be bottom three. Carlos was an absolute genius. Lost a few players and the manager, replaced on the cheap. Hoyle thinking he was being clever and leaving us with the lowest budget in the division (despite the success of last season, play off campaign, tv money and over 16,000 season tickets sold). Some custodian …

You lost me at “worse than Matty Young”. That’s not possible. I’m assuming you’ve missed a lot of games this season. Scott High has arguably been our most consistent player, a 3/10 every time 😕 It’s hardly his fault, but he’s massively out of his depth…there is zero chance he’s going to have a career in the top 4 divisions when we eventually get rid of him. Yes, I’ve missed a lot of games, but “worse than Marty Young” seems a very low blow. That lad could barely kick a ball.

The last throw of the dice if DH wants some money back and give us a chance of staying up is to treble the win bonus and another big payout if we stay up. It’s all these mercenaries care about. They don’t deserve it, but it’s probably our best hope.
