What's the difference between the two Clubs? This season? 6 places and 12 points. Next season we'll hopefully be more than 6 places and 12 points ahead of them. Personally I don't see why we needed to rush to appoint for for the last four games of the season and I care far more about the right appointment being made than things being done quickly to appease impatient fans. Few Huddersfield fans seem to see their club as coherent or well run at this moment in time. That may or may not change this season but I'm not sure why people feel the need to whine about Steve Lansdown just because we've not appointed someone forty-eight hours after the season ended...

Not whining about him. I'm angry at the way he runs our Club and let's not pretend we have a Board in the true sense of the word. I'm amazed that more do not see the price we pay in having him as an owner. He's our biggest obstacle as well as our despotic benefactor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I get the impression we are 'fishing in different ponds' to Huddersfield with this appointment. These higher calibre/reputation managers take a bit longer to appoint. I'm not worried actually, I think we're going to get it right this time.

Yes, and on the flip side - those CEOs who don't piss about with shortlists and endless interviews tend to spend pretty high on severence payments, compromise agreements, constructive dismissal cases and other legal wrangling!

reddogkev Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 SVK, what a disgrace, just frigg off, I'd gladly fight to the death over the good name of Stephen Lansdown. How dare you degrade him with such an insult. Where would City be without him? You've embarrassed yourself and boiled my blood. I've said in another thread, and I can't be the only one thinking this, but is there not a chance CH is stalling, perhaps waiting for other opportunities?

BetterRedthanBlue Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Oh no a club who were let's be honest absolutely atrocious this season and will struggle next year appointed a manager in 5 days. Whereas a club who has been fighting for the play offs for the last few seasons is taking its time appointing the next manager who will hopefully take them the next step. Lansdown should be ashamed that he is taking his time over getting this appointment right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely. Thankyou for that. Have to move over now I suppose. McGregor must have been fed something by Ashton Gate. But do you not see a pattern with the delay suggesting that we are in for yet another underwhelming managerial appointment followed by bollocks from Ashton along the lines of "From an outstanding field of candidates we have appointed the best"?
