    Grant on loan

    Looks like we’re trying to sign him on loan with right to buy IF we stop up

    Makes sense to us. But I’m not sure this story is accurate. Freelance journo's making assumptions and lazy copywriters for larger outlets not doing their do diligence. We the fans are desperate for any news and they know it.
    Other reports still claim Hudds still holding out for the full payment.

    I think it's a question of who blinks first, we want Grant he wants to come and is effectively unplayable for Huddersfield we are not going to pay the £18 million they want so a loan with a view to buy is the best option for all parties, I think is just a question of how much the loan fee will be.

    We must be a laughing stock when we call up another club to see if they will sell us a player.

    "Yeah we want Grant but we only want to pay 50 quid and a packet of scratchings upfront, then 48 monthly payments of a fiver and a cup of Bovril"

    What if we stay up this season?
    We seriously thing these players are going to want to stay with us after their loan deals expire?

    Joke of a club we have become

    So we should just pay the asking price we are quoted for every player we try and get? The championship and even league 1 is littered with clubs who have overspent and are now paying for their mistakes.

    How much have we spent this season 15m ?

    Aren’t we guaranteed 180m over the next 3 season even if we go down this season if we stay up we get even more

    Makes you wonder where the money is going 🤔

    The last season in the top tier Pulis was given £40 Million

    3 years later its less than half and the rewards from Sky etc are now higher as well.

    Also one of two have left for decent money in that time , (Chadli, Rondon, Rodders, and Dawson) but not much spent in relative terms either. Im missing out wages mind you but most of the big earners have now gone anyway. Morrison, Brunt, Foster as well as those others we sold. Gibbs and Austin's take home pay is eye watering however.
    But even so a few questions to answer i think.
    Our football club is not on a level playing field as it were with our rivals any more. Our owners have no real passion for the club and that is very obvious.
