I’m not sure how many of you on here listen to the giants podcast- you should it's well worth a listen and you get to know some of what goes on behind he scenes and the background of some of those involved at the club. For those of you have been calling for a change in management I suggest you listen to this weeks and you may be enlightened.

Don't wast your time with this then mate , it has no answers to the things you will want to know about. Its mostly about his experience watching the Giants from a young age, How hard the job is and how fantastic the people are who helped him to learn the job.
On our present situation Big eorl wants to see more urgency, no hands on hips and scrums formed faster, and we will be trying something different against Hull. ( i pray that it works ) Mr Thewlis said something that just confirmed my opinion of the club. He said look we are in the top flight of the Super league we have been in worse places , in other words just keep turning up and hoping for a miracle.

No sign or word about any uneasiness , just sounds to be business as usual, But maybe it was just supposed to be lighthearted entertainment which is fair enough, Not many on here seem to feel that way about the way things are going though.

listened too it, nothing to hear here...

got abit more out of him on rl back chat before we lost to salford and castleford.

the most recent one with crabtree and harrison and shaun lunt is a good one, worth a watch on youtube... hit the nail on the head with what they say about the injuries, cap and youngsters

1 hours confirmation of why we are where we are. The one bit of clarity was when he said you are judged by results in pro sport and he will be.

what i saw jools was " fiddling while Rome burned" but i don't claim to have great Eyesight, I have a strong feeling that something is afoot that we know Nowt about.

An interesting insight of the man and his role in the club. He is fully aware of the situation re results at the moment and suggested something new is afoot for the trip to Hull FC. He is doing the job of MD and he said (again) he responds to enquiries from fans but he also has to suffer ill informed abuse from some "supporters". He is Huddersfield Giants through and through but he doesn`t take the training nor pick the team. Worth a listen, however the "I know better" brigade will still think they could do a better job. Well what`s stopping you? Put yourself forward, let Ken know of your experience and start he ball rolling...

does any other clubs fans blame its CEO for players not performing or just ours? what exactly do people expect him to do once the players step onto the pitch, he's a fan like we all are so the performances are probably frustrating and hurting him too.

can you imagine your own kids reading horrible stuff about you on the internet cos someone has decided you do a poor job without knowing what is a good job in your role, its sickening at times and pathetic the abuse someone just trying his best in a very hard job gets off quite usually grown adults who have probably not achieved half of what this guy has !!

cut him some slack unless you have the money to do better !

Thewlis gets paid to appoint the coach
Thewlis gets paid to bring the players in and negotiate contracts
Thewlis gets paid to run the club and oversee all commercial aspects
Please tell me why he should be absolved from any blame just because he doesn’t take to the field or because he supports the club?
The club is run shambolicly but he should carry no flack for That ?
Ok well you are ken Davey and I claim my £10, if you run the company you take the praise when it goes well and the questions get asked of you when it doesn’t

Who hires Andy Watson and Brian blacker and manages them?
Who brought the players in ?
Who appointed the physios ?
Who brought bumper back on big money for him to leave suddenly?
Who hired Woolford ?
Does it just happen or does someone sanction it all?

The board of directors do those things.... the board..... which consists of more than one person and includes Ken.
Not sure what your job is DJ- but would it be fair if your lads performance on the rugby field was to be judged not on his own performance but based on how well the groundsman did his job? Or the kit man? Or how many tickets they sold to a game?
I would imagine like most anyone RT has performance objectives and targets to meet in his job- I’d imagine they would be based on the financial performance of the business and not the performance of the team on the field. The fact he’s still around suggests he’s been meeting those targets.
RT is first and foremost a fan- he wants the team to succeed whereas another in that role might not actually care what the results on the field were as long as he was meeting his own personal targets.
It’s like some twisted backwards form of mizaru and kikazaru we could do with more of the third one and speak less evil!
