@LeagueOne25 Bet his brother, Phil, is happy.

@PrestonTerrier When you’re in a position of influence like Kevin is, you’ve got to be extra cautious with what you say. It’s the way of the world. Whether that’s right or wrong is another conversation. Calling a fan a total failure isn’t acceptable. Penny for Dean Hoyle’s thoughts?

[Chris @chefsmith28]

“We will be smart, we will be tactical”

I’m not sure calling fans total failures is a smart, or tactical move. At what point will you learn? Reactions like this make you out to be brash, abrasive, and a bit of a bully. When will you learn to stop replying to fans? #htafc

[Kevin Nagle @KevinNagleMLS]

@NagleBall @awaydaytown You are right. A total failure of epic proportions and tries projecting it onto others. Not a Town supporter.

[Chris @chefsmith28]

@JPercyTelegraph Wow. That’s a sickening for Lincoln. Skubala jumping ship when his stock is at its highest.

More interested to see who Lincoln now appoint. Such a brilliantly run club. They are use to losing top assets and replacing them with better.

[Chris @chefsmith28]

The raw emotion of this day will never be topped. Happy Christopher Schindler day to those that celebrate #htafc

Ah, I see people are clinging to the “rolling contract” comment. Anything to have a moan! What Markham was alluding to is that all managers in the world are on rolling contracts as they can be fired at anytime, so contract lengths are irrelevant. Nothing to see. #htafc

[Chris @chefsmith28]

@jamiemhtafc Think that was an accumulation of last minute set backs 3 games in a row, and playoffs being officially over. Right or wrong, the players went “fuck it”

However they responded a week later. That shows Drury had their respect otherwise they’d have said “fuck it” again!

[Chris @chefsmith28]

2 wins in 7 is a fact. However, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Seconds away in 3 games from being 5 wins in 7. Football was good to watch. Players looked motivated (apart from Mansfield) Lets see what he can do with a pre season and a squad that’s built for him. #htafc

[Chris @chefsmith28]

Feel sorry for Drury. He’s up against it from day one and it’s not his fault.

Thorough recruitment process? Last three weeks? News broke pretty quickly after Manning left it’d be Drury. Hard to believe

I wish him well and I hope he’s successful. But hope is all I have.

[Chris @chefsmith28]

@cscottjourno Or both….

[Chris @chefsmith28]

@TerrierTogether @H_Ho11and You aren’t getting him. He’ll walk into our side next season.

[Chris @chefsmith28]

If Wimbledon away is the blue print for how Drury wants to play, then fine. But commit to it, recruit for it and give it time. Don’t shit the bed and change at the first sign of struggle. FWIW, I don’t think Town are a million miles away squad wise. Just 3/4 key cogs. #htafc

[Chris @chefsmith28]

Not sure what people were expecting. It was always going to be Drury & Stead. We are a mid table, league one club whose track record with managers over the last 3 years has been shocking. We have zero pull now. Our reputation within the game is shot and needs rebuilding #htafc

[Chris @chefsmith28]

@takesthatchance We’re league one with a horrible track record with managers over the last 3 seasons. Probably the best we could do. Realism is starting to hit hard.

[Chris @chefsmith28]

If it’s Drury. Fine. But he has to have the whole season regardless of how it’s going. No more chopping & changing. Commit to something, recruit accordingly, give it time to marinade and see it through. Stop chasing instinct success as it very rarely happens. #htafc

[Chris @chefsmith28]

Amazing achievement. Congratulations to all involved #htafc

[Huddersfield Town Academy @htafcacademy]

What a season 💪

What a team 💙

Get in 🤩

[Chris @chefsmith28]

@SportsPeteO Think it could work out well. Issue at Town was instant success was needed. If he’s given time, think he’ll turn out decent.

[Chris @chefsmith28]

@reluctantnicko Huddersfield Al?

[Chris @chefsmith28]

@LeagueOne25 😂😂😂😂😂

No we aren’t. Same rumour every year. That ship has sailed.

[Chris @chefsmith28]

This makes me sad. Hope the Manning family can find some peace.

This has been handled superbly by all involved at #htafc.

Family comes first.

[Huddersfield Town @htafc]
