Hmm I wonder if the usual Huddersfield mid season collapse is starting early this year ha ha

Linda, DP has been "going to Cas" for months now from what i hear but time will tell. There certainly seems some unrest between him & his chairman at Fev. In all honesty, who would want the Cas job as a career move unless it was their only option ?

From what I hear I think the problem is Mr Probiz who has DEMANDED Fev win things for what he has invested. The Fev club seemed to be doing well up until Mr Probiz started getting involved. I think the way he has tried to act has upset a few people and created pressure that is not needed. I feel for DP and others. Having an investor sometimes can be more of a burden than a blessing. maybe though I have it wrong.

A number of fev fans are like fax fans that we get used to winning or maybe feel we should win against alleged smaller teams and we say stuff without really showing respect to others. York are no mugs especially at home. Things go in circle and Fev have had a period where they have been the best team in the league over the past 3 years. But players leave and the team changes. Fev are maybe less experienced and lack the leadership they had for the past 3 years. But with the setup DP had instilled at Fev it will just be a matter of time before they become the bet team again. Right now Sheffield for me are the team to beat. Fev fans much like Fax fans just need to be patient. Its easy to get frustrated and vent anger when we lose games we expect to win. I like most of us have been guilty of it

There are 2 camps developing at Rovers 1 that think the 1 trophy out of 6 we have won with the massive investment (forget league leaders it means nothing) is not good enough. Then there are the camp that think Darryl is a god and has transformed the club. I myself think its the chairmans money and drive that have transformed us the last few years. We have the biggest playing / coaching budget and money to spend if players are available. my personal opinion is if we don't win the lot with those resources then its not good enough. Im not been arrogant just realistic

That's what the salary cap is for tho Gingdong!

However many billions mr probiz pumps into Fev, they can still only spend the same as everyone else so a bit of perspective is needed here! In reality there are probably only 2 or 3 clubs that can spend the cap tho

How's things with mr probiz? Any strain yet? Gas he found those Middle East investors he was gonna find us?

At the end of the day though Ging you can only spend up to the cap and sign so many players.
There are a lot of good players out there at the moment and not all of them can be at Fev or any other one club.
Which in a way is a good thing.

There are other clubs that have passionate BOD's who have ambition to progress their respective clubs to be as good as they can be where they are and perhaps one day into Super League.

Being realistic this would mean that a club who has a good BOD with the infrastructure in place and the momey to spend and is the furthest ahead could become the most consistent club in the division just like Fev have been.

However there is always the possibiltity that the other better sides who have are putting similar things in place can beat them on any given day.

In fact this is exactly what has happened with Rovers in the Championship and some of the other sides are now closing the gap "as clubs".
I would expect Fev to be at or near the top of the pile for the forseeable future but not to be as dominant as before.
The real danger is not being able to progress beyond a certain point for too long as this can lead to stagnation , frustration and eventual decline.
