High risk, high reward approach again. The football at the back end of last season, one game apart, was much closer to where #htafc need to be. Intrigued to see how we set up for next season.

[Pete O'Rourke @SportsPeteO]

Huddersfield are set to confirm Martin Drury as permanent manager with Jon Stead as his assistant after impressing in interim charge at the back end of last season. #htafc

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

101 minutes. These refs are a social experiment #htafc

[Huddersfield Town @htafc]

BWFC 3-3 #htafc

Goal.

[⏰90+11’]

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

The most frustrating #htafc season I’ve watched in a while. There is not one good side in this league.

[Huddersfield Town @htafc]

The points are shared.

I mean…wow. £1.3m a week on players in League 1 is big

[Chris @CWeatherspoon_]

Birmingham City's wage bill in League One last season was £38.9m. The highest third tier wage bill in history, by a country mile. Next highest: Sunderland's £26.7m (46% lower) in 2018-19

#BCFC 2024-25 wage bill was higher than two-thirds of clubs in the division above them

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

Never doubted him 🤥 #htafc

[Huddersfield Town @htafc]

LOFC 1-2 #htafc

Brave man. Hope he comes back to finish the job #htafc

[Huddersfield Town @htafc]

Men’s First Team Head Coach Liam Manning has been granted compassionate leave for the remainder of the 2025/26 Sky Bet League One season.

Liam has the full support of everyone at Huddersfield Town, and we will remain in regular contact with him and those close to him.

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

This is what the #htafc hierarchy need to realise. Forget your tactics and flair in this league, everyone is terrible. It’s all about how much you want it, every single game.

[Huddersfield Town @htafc]

In the lead after an intense half in HD1 👊

#htafc | @sbk

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

@bristolianeagle Should have been. Got you into the playoffs and now you are 14th (again).

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

Yeah, that’s a big upgrade #htafc

[Huddersfield Town @htafc]

Liam Manning has been appointed Head Coach of Huddersfield Town, taking control of the Men’s First Team with immediate effect having signed a long-term contract with the Club.

Welcome to the Terriers, Liam!

#htafc

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

You can get angry. Or you can realise we’ve left £4.75m worth of strikers out of the squad today and just laugh at the ineptitude #htafc

[Huddersfield Town @htafc]

FT.

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

The Tories turning up like arsonists to a fire here. “Who did this?”

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Student loan repayments have become a scam.

You work hard but you get "rewarded" with high interest rates.

How is that fair?

@Conservatives will reduce interest rates for hundreds of thousands of graduates.

That's just Step 1 in our New Deal for Young people.

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

@stephen67342215 Yeah, I get that. But they were never going to have Bojan and May playing 90 minutes all season and Charles is simply not good enough. They must have known they were sacking Grant before he left.

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

Why is our best striker up front for Wigan!? #htafc

[Wigan Athletic @LaticsOfficial]

72' - JT AGAINST HIS FORMER SIDE! ✊

Joe Taylor breaks the deadlock, cheekily lifting the ball over Josh Keeley following a superb Dara Costelloe ball through. 🙌

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

This presser is a proper pallet cleanser after watching Trump tossing out narcissistic world salad for the last couple of years and Starmer demonstrating the charisma of a doorstop.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: We will also work to welcome more family- and home-based childcare providers into our programs.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

Tony Carrs. After two long decades, you now have competition son 👏 #htafc

Finally 👏

A politician who seems to understand you can’t keep killing the ambition of graduates, and working people generally, in this country

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

Some graduates on so-called 'Plan 2' student loans are forecast to pay back more than they borrowed.

Graduate George told us he doesn't want a work promotion due to the higher interest it will incur on his loan.

Labour MP Chris Curtis also has a Plan 2 loan & speaks to #R4Today

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

@olifisher Congrats Oli. Great achievement.

[Paul Marsden @TerrierHack]

@Onel_Mourner Ha ha. Okay. The caps on that👌
