Also Tom Burgess has only been at Huddersfield for about a month. For him to have decided he was going to switch to Wire if Vaughan didn't come back, he would have had to have decided he hated Huddersfield within about an hour of having arrived. Which, if it is the case, points to him being a pretty fickle character who doesn't do his due diligence.

The least believable thing (of which there are many) is Huddersfield paying Livett £100k. I know Davy is getting on a bit but he’s not completely senile AFAIK.

As far as I could be bothered I countered your argument by pointing out our 3rd place finish.
If you can show me where I questioned your sanity I will happily apologise.

'Am I being serious?' I wouldn't have posted it if I wasn't serious.

Is it not fair to say Burgess overachieved last year and got the best out of the squad? Did you expect to finish 3rd at the start of last season? Not a chance you did.

“are you being serious” is not questioning your sanity. I was questioning whether you were on a wind up. There is a huge difference.
I wasn’t expecting a 3rd place finish based on the season before under Powell, on the other hand I wasn’t expecting such a disastrous season under Powell given what I thought was a decent squad. I think labelling the majority of the squad as 6/10 was extremely harsh, compounded by your very damning view of Dufty which I personally think is unsustainable. But. that is my opinion.
