"Huddersfield fan here. All this sounds eerily familiar to the last few years at Town. The ones showing discontent/noticing the bloke's shortcomings will gather pace and the apologists/hopers will dwindle.

The bloke has no tactical nous whatsoever and is out thought at every turn (That was in league 1 too, so in the championship its going to be like going up against tanks on horseback I'm afraid!).

The only reason we even got to the play-offs with him at the helm was because he had a budget at his disposal that dwarfed almost everyone else's in the division and he was allowed to buy an endless supply of new signings (The percentage of which were total **** was also alarming).


He has no idea whatsoever how to handle the media, which always deeply concerned me as to how he handled the players, as he doesn't come across a people person whatsoever and is entirely egoistical, always harping on about his achievements as a player.

This may go some way to explain how cracking players on paper suddenly turned **** overnight here. Were they scared to make errors? Did they have it coached out of them? In fact what the hell is Terry McDermott apart from a thick scouse caricature?

If you thought yesterday's interview was embarrassing just wait until anybody has the audacity to ask him anything remotely critical and prepare to cringe like you never cringed before.

Hearing that he had been sacked and was no longer associated with our club was to me, apart from gaining promotion finally, the biggest relief of the past decade.

I'm afraid there are tough times ahead for you with the chuckle brothers at the helm. Good luck, you're going to need it!"

At the end he might not be the manager to take us forward it's just that at the moment to many factors at the club could be restricting what he could or could not be able to achieve so for the time being he gets my backing because for me at the moment the players are not doing much to help him IE: poor passing, poor marking, poor understanding, poor all round play
