The board are desperately lucky there's no fans in the ground, because they can meander along ruining this club, whilst us fans have no way of airing our opinions, regardless of how strong the language.
They deserve the what they get in regards to not being able to run the club and being unfit to do so and the club is getting what it deserves as a reward.
I've got to do the thread for Tuesday. Could be very fun or very short

All we need now is an away game at a ground where, without checking first, we have a hundred percent loss record.
RE: Huddersfield Town 2-3 Wycombe Wanderers - WakeyTerrier - 13-02-2021
I thought Phil sacking the Cowleys and appointing Carlos was a bold move and that Phil would either sink or swim.
Well it’s clear for all to see that we are sinking faster than the titanic thanks to Phil not backing his coach in the January transfer window.
That statement yesterday was just a PR exercise to cover his arse and it didn’t read well yesterday and it certainly didn’t read any better at 5pm today.
If we were allowed I’d be outside that ground now demanding that he sells up and buggers off and you know what what I don’t think I’d be the only one.
We’ve gone from PH at the odeon telling supporters we don’t need to sell players to having sold the Crown Jewels off for Car boot prices(before the pandemic) shopped in Poundland to replace some of them and raided kindergarten for the rest and now crying the poor tale.
I shouldn’t be so pissed off but I am, do the right thing PH and sell up, and take DH and his remaining shares with you

Can't see anybody wanting to buy right now. Whatever the price. Think we're stuck with him.
RE: Huddersfield Town 2-3 Wycombe Wanderers - Lord Snooty - 14-02-2021
I've been trying to think of an equivalent result from the past to rank alongside this one. Sure, we've been beaten at home by the team at the bottom of the league before, Burton in the promotion season springs to mind. But that was one of those days where we battered them and couldn't get it over the line, then they broke away and won it in the last minute.
But this yesterday was an embarrassing surrender. We just stopped playing after we went 2-0 up as though the game was already won. The only similar result I can think of was when we lost at home to Port Vale in the FA Cup. Losing 3-4 after being 3-1 up. But nobody was bothered about that. If I recall correctly, we were in between managers then.
Having just looked it up, we were. Stan Ternent had just been sacked and Gerry Murphy was in charge and the performance was much better than the dross we were being served up before, so despite the result, the performance wasn't that bad.
But this nonsense yesterday!!! Embarrassing! In a MUST WIN game.
RE: Huddersfield Town 2-3 Wycombe Wanderers - WakeyTerrier - 14-02-2021
In terms of embarrassing results it’s probably up there with the 4-0 defeat away to Macclesfield Town.
I don’t buy into the pandemic has lost us a fortune. We should be in a better position than most clubs financially. We are still getting parachute payments even if they have been reduced. We have Sold something like £50+ million pounds worth of players since we were relegated. We by PH own admission sold 11k season cards, that’s something our opponents yesterday could only dream of.
Where has all the money gone!
Even Ken Davy had more support than PH and held the club to ransom over the stadium shares that he made a £3m profit on.
RE: Huddersfield Town 2-3 Wycombe Wanderers - Lord Snooty - 14-02-2021
Oh my Christ, yes. Macclesfield! That was bad.
I've thought of another one. Warnock's first season when we lost 2-1 at home to Barnet after scoring first. That, I think, put us in the bottom 4. But he managed to turn it around in the New Year.
As for Phat head Phil. He must be the most unpopular chairman ever. We had demos outside the ground for Davy and inside Leeds Road for Keith Longpockets. If there wasn't a pandemic on, I reckon they'd be burning effigies of PH outside the JSS last night.

The money has gone to Dean wakey.
Phil has the bought the club on debt to dean. There are debentures on all club assets. A number of debentures with floating charge, A floating charge – which is usually attached to assets such as shares, raw materials and intellectual property – implies that the assets may change over time, and the borrower can sell them without the lender’s intervention. However, floating charges may become fixed if the borrower defaults. So he hasn't paid Dean in full or hadn't at time of last accounts. The clubs servicing the debt he has to dean, ie parachute payments and player sales.
Based on the finances available for this year so far. Players in prem bought on credit, paying up to 500k in interest. There's a 31m bank loan still to be paid. We made 23mil in our first prem season, 6mil the second. Overall the club has nothing to spend

Highlights if you can call them that:
Gareth Ainsworth's post match comments here
RE: Huddersfield Town 2-3 Wycombe Wanderers - Lord Snooty - 14-02-2021
Interesting comment from Ainsworth. He considers Hogg, Bacuna and Mbenza to be big names. Is that how other clubs look at us, as big time Charlies?
Barnsley have just won at Brentford. It's not about budgets or injuries or covids or chairmen. It's team spirit, coaching and the will to succeed.
We need another Wagner Revolution.
