Hunt: Boss is the Best
Tuesday, 3rd Feb 2015 06:00
Blues striker Noel Hunt believes Town boss Mick McCarthy is probably the best manager he has played under during his career. The Irishman has also been impressed with what he’s seen of fellow recent signing Freddie Sears.
The 32-year-old says he was delighted when he heard McCarthy and his assistant Terry Connor were keen to sign him during his unhappy spell at Leeds: “When I found out that the gaffer and TC were interested in me it really excited me.
“I’ve always admired the manager. He got Wolves promoted when I was at Reading and we fell short in the play-offs. We lost our last game of the season against Birmingham and Wolves leapfrogged us into second place.
Huddersfield Set to Sign Second Falkirk Player Tuesday, 31st Jan 2012 15:25
TWTD understands that Falkirk winger Kallum Higginbotham will join his Bairns team-mate Murray Wallace at Huddersfield Town. Earlier this afternoon, the Blues and the Terriers were amongst a number of clubs reported to have agreed a fee for the 22-year-old with the Scottish League Division One club.
Huddersfield beat Town and Brighton to 19-year-old defender Wallace’s signature, offering both the player and the selling club a better financial package.
Meanwhile, Crawley Town have rebuffed an offer of £1.9 million from Peterborough United for Town target Tyrone Barnett and defender Kyle McFadzean.
Waghorn: An Opportunity Tommy Needed to Take
Tuesday, 23rd Jan 2018 13:17
Striker Martyn Waghorn says departing defender Tommy Smith will be a big loss to the club but that the opportunity to join the Colorado Rapids was one the New Zealand international needed to take. The 27-year-old’s switch to the MLS side, first revealed by TWTD more than a fortnight ago, was finally confirmed last night.
“He’s a big influential player,” said Waghorn, who celebrates his 28th birthday today.
“He’s obviously been around the club for a lot of years, one of those experienced heads, although he’s not that old. But he’s got a bit of experience of the club, the fans and everything around the place.
McCarthy in No Hurry Over Contracts
Tuesday, 15th Jan 2013 06:00
Blues boss Mick McCarthy says he’s in no hurry to offer Town’s out of contract players new terms. Lee Martin, Andy Drury, Arran Lee-Barrett, Carlos Edwards, Jason Scotland, Nathan Ellington, Jack Ainsley, Cormac Burke, Ronan Murray and Joe Whight all have deals which are up at the end of June.
The Town manager has already confirmed that Scotland is likely to move on during this window - with Wolves, Brighton and Preston all interested - while Ellington, who has just returned from a loan spell at Scunthorpe, and several others seem unlikely to be kept on.

Going to be incredibly difficult to keep hold of him as a 3rd tier club if Sheff U do firm up their interest - hopefully they don t!

Of course we don t want to lose Wolfenden or Downes. They are our own two best players by a mile. However, if they price is right, then we have to sell and we wouldn t want to stand in the way of their careers. But ME please stop being an easy touch with the transfer fees, you need to put a £10m tag on each of their heads right now.
