Obviously Huddersfield haven't heard of the old saying ( cut your cloth accordingly) which in these times of uncertainty ring ever more true . If the boot was on the other foot as we have already previously witnessed by Shudds they’d be circling over belle vue as we speak . No good putting the salary cap up or having past it players on silly wages under the guise of marquee player when there simply isn’t the money coming into the game at present or fans to justify it . . Home grown is the way to go and put something back into the grass roots so there are pathways for the next stars to come through . Carter had it spot on and long may he continue to captain the ship .

Huddersfield aren’t in any trouble whatsoever so no one is circling around their assets like they did when we were in financial dire straits, that’s the crucial difference here.
Ken Davy has told The Giants what level of financial backing he’s prepared to give and he will never call his Directors loans back in. I know some on here would love to think that when Ken dies Huddersfield will be up the creek without a paddle but that won’t be the case. As I’ve said here before his granddaughter Becky will take over his position and she’s a bigger fan of supporting the Giants than he is.

That bit I will believe when I see it.

Each to their own although it comes across less like disbelief and more like wishful thinking IMO

Not really.
Ken Davey is a freak, he's committed everything to that lost cause and I admire him for it. But in truth Hudds are a RL team in a soccer town and always will be, no amount of money will ever change that. So I find it hard to believe that anyone will defy reality with the same stoicism as Ken.
Money (not earned) has flowed into Hudds more than any other team in the last 30 years but they stubbornly remain an also ran. This is because IMHO that deep down only Ken believes.
Imagine if we had a Ken!

| Who are the 'big 4' exactly? I always come back to Warrington & Hull who seemingly can compete off the field quite easily with Wigan, Leeds & Saints, who have won every G/F since it was introduced in '98 apart from Bradford. So if we include Shudds as in the financial side of things, what criteria is needed for the 'big 4'?! Clearly it's not how much money you have, it's what you do with it. Warrington, Hull & Hudds have thrown as much money about as the other 3, but have a few challenge cup wins, a couple of league leaders shields, and that's about it in the last 30 years or so. Having it doesn't guarantee success, but not having it also doesn't mean you can't be successful either. In relative terms, Salford have been 'successful' in the last 3 or 4 years, i would have gladly taken the ride they have been on and been to the 2 finals they have.......

I suggest you read the Yorkshire post about the giants and their stadium , it’s looking likely that they’ll lose their stake in the ground to the football club if a huge bail out can’t be found ,as the KSDL are looking to ship control to Huddersfield Town after looking increasingly likely that they’ll go into administration due to huge debts

I could do that, except I don’t trust newspapers
I’d rather go and talk to Becky Davy or Ken and get the truth
