The trouble is you now need to appoint quickly, but to do that well you need to have already planned it, which doesn't sound particularly Huddersfield ........
You didn't invest in a successful team and made the very Chesterfield move of shedding several decent players. Basically, you followed the same procedure we adopted when Paul Cook left when we weren't good enough to come through the Division One play-offs. We appointed the man who'd been our best after-dinner speaker as manager and the path to the National League was already highlighted on every supporter's map.
I'm not suggesting you are on quite the same path as our casino owner rolled out for us, but one bad decision has a way of running you headlong into an even worse one. There are worse things than going down, like going down and assuming you are too good to be involved in a second relegation battle. Appointing Danny Schofield and expecting him to pull together a weakened side was a very complacent decision. Huddersfield's fans appear to have been wide awake throughout, but behind the scenes you seem, from the perspective of a total outsider, to be sleep-walking towards Division Two.
Don't worry, I fully expect our stand in Chairman to say that won't happen...when it already is and for him to once again lay the blame at somebody else's feet
