    Nobody else would employ the conman 

    The definition of a con man is regardless of the quality of the item they are selling to you, what they actually sell to you is their Confidence and Conviction...and they achieve their aim in taking your money whilst you have gained nothing.

    I’d say it’s quite possible fans from his previous clubs may wish to see him out of work to be honest.

    Anyway bigger than that, the question to @Brian Johnson and all of us really is how does starting an online petition at this point in time help the team to stay up.  Someone explain that one to me.

    It serves the purpose of giving a voice to those of us who are not won over by an open letter and a self serving, self excusing attempt to tell us what to think. This is a football club not a football business. The fans, the people, they should be the concern for the owner, not a self pitying egomaniac head burying mini Machiavellian

    The only problem with this is that it’s going to be totally biased as it’s open to anyone.  Maybe fans of other clubs will cast a vote which isn’t meaningful in this case.

    Surely fans of other clubs will want him to stay where he is, that way he won't turn up at their club!

    Hence my original post. How is a negative atmosphere going help the team achieve the goal of staying up? I'll say it again, let's leave the inquest until the end of the season. Or would we prefer to go down if it was the only way of sealing flitcrofts fate?

    A simple yes or no was asked for....

    Let's leave the inquest until the end of the season and concentrate on doing everything we can to stay in League 1. If flitcroft walked out of the door tomorrow it won't change where we end up in the league.

    It could because it would free the club of his failed doctrine.

    So Flitcroft is to blame for AC not changing the formation but then he is also not to be credited with DM appointment because DM is his own man and will change the formation, despite DF not allowing it before? 

    Some mental cartwheels going on there 

     

    Anyway 

     

    Come on Vale

    Whatever...cheers🤩

    I don't think Crosby wasn't ever picking his own formation despite what the group think had declared the truth on here. 

    Have very much heard otherwise , also that Dunn turned the job down because he was told he would have to play by flitcrofts formation....all hearsay I admit but don't think I trust anything that comes out of the dof 's mouth at all.

    Carol started making plans for a league 2 budget last July. The league 2 team is on the pitch, right now. 

    Don't drag Carol Into it... she's trusted flitcroft to do his job...and he's failed.... but still seems to be bulletproof

    Only had one window, but there were 4 signings. 5 if you include the kid we brought back on loan from Motherwell (who has been a revelation but picked up an injury in his last game). A bit too soon to say, but early indications are that we have 2 fairly good and 2 fairly poor. A mixed bag.

     

     

    Sort your own cess pit....

     Huddersfield Town fan in peace.

    First thought is to wish you good luck (whilst trying to refrain from telling you that you'll need it!).

    He was a bizarre appointment for us. A perfect poop storm and he was on to a loser from the start.

    1) He was following the immensely popular Neil Warnock. The guy after the guy.

    2) Warnock was in place to give us the opportunity to get someone brilliant. Even the most pessimistic Town fans expected someone at least slightly exciting when we ditched Neil so early.

    3) Weak, unbalanced squad. There's no getting away from it - he was dealt a poor hand.

    There's also the fan culture at Huddersfield doesn't really fit Darren Moore. 

    1) We tend to take to charismatic managers. Big characters that will unite the fan base and bring a one club mentality. Moore is by all accounts a thoroughly lovely man, but inspirational? Charismatic? No.

    2) We like full throttle attacking football. We like to see our team play without fear, regardless of who we're against (much of our fan base left the 5-3 defeat at Southampton pretty upbeat). Darren Moore's footballing instincts are the absolute opposite of that.

    Positives?

    1) He is apparently brilliant at building team spirit. I say "apparently" because it was already good when he arrived and that just carried on. He didn't build it, but it didn't fall apart on his watch either. The players were playing for him (although one of our players was really quite scathing of him in an interview since his departure!).

    2) Defensively we weren't bad most of the time (although when we were bad, we were truly awful).

    Negatives?

    1) Good grief, the football is dull. Made the stuff we played under the Cowley brothers seem like Barcelona side of 15 years ago by comparison! I could be charitable and describe his football as "cautious" but it would be closer to the truth to describe it as timid. A cautious approach when playing against Man City in the cup is understandable. Against sides in absolute freefall you'd hope for a little more. If you expect attacking football under Moore you're in for disappointment. Half a season with us and I still don't know what his attacking philosophy is, because we never saw it. 

    2) Game management is awful. Will not change things when you're getting battered, or when the scores are level and the opponent is there for the taking (back to the ultra-cautious approach). Known to make defensive subs when chasing an equaliser. I genuinely think he has no idea how to react to what's happening in-game.

    In short, he was dealt a bad hand here, but he did not play it well. And whilst I thought he was poor here (even with a lot of draws, 3 wins in 23 is difficult to defend), given the squad he had, you might have expected another half dozen points or so. He was poor, but I think most Town fans overstate how bad he was here.

    Meanwhile I suspect the bookies of Huddersfield are inundated with people betting on you guys for the drop. I just hope your former loanee Kian Harratt resists the temptation this time!

    Thanks for taking the time to post this....now <ovf censored> Off...!
