Andrew Henderson would fit that description too, did good things at London

More importantly , if they are not going to get rid of Thewlis are they going to appoint a director of rugby to stop him making monumental cockups in the recruitment and retention department?

From what i have been told today, there are problems brewing between the Giants and town regarding the stadium and i don't mean among the fans.

Only hearsay but watch this space, especially if town are still up next season.

The stadium if thats what you are alluding to Jo is still a three way partnership as far as I know.
It could be interesting though.Maybe a move back to Fartown will be on the cards.

Yes i know you are right about that bilko, but it's not an even split, and from what i'm told there are problems ahead. Football is King, awash with money, and can attract big money which needs top facilities, " which may be where the friction will come", League in comparison is seen and treated as a flat cappers sport.
As i said only hearsay but time will tell.

There have been problems since 2006.

I wouldn't call it trouble. Hoyle was at a Q&A on Saturday and was asked by a fan if there was a possibility of Town buying out The Giants. Hoyle said no, and he was unequivocal in expressing that this is very much the home of Huddersfield Giants as well and should remain as such. He did say though that he would like to open discussions again about how the office space is used as currently it's a 50/50 split and Town may need to expand should they stay up.

What's happening with the old Police training ground at the bottom of Big Valley? Ken bought it to develop into a training facility for the Giants. Maybe a possibility to build a small ground there and move into it if the Premier league insist that football clubs don't ground share. Remember Eorl Crabtree announcing plans in the examiner about the issue about a year or so ago but it's all gone quiet since then.

jools is perfectly correct.

There was an issue with drainage initially, then the pavilion was burned down and asbestos was found. That took an age to sort as kirklees have to approve a contractor to remove (am talking months and months, not days)
AFAIK the drainage is still an issue.
Seems daft buying it then letting it sit there for more than 5 years.....

of course she is because you emailed thewlis and he told you he doesnt sign players, end of debate

And you know this how ?
