    I agree that it sounds implausible but it rang a bell when 5 live mentioned it yesterday . Saying that and looking at the Huddersfield squad I cant see many of them being on much more than our lads .

    According to an article in the local Huddersfield paper, up to spring 2015, Dean Hoyle had put in £37million of his money over the preceding 6 years to prop up Hudds wage bill to a minimum of £10million pa. Probably safe to assume this has continued and the wage bill is relatively similar. He's around 12 times wealthier than Cryne in terms of net worth ($475million v $40million) which also perhaps puts part of the achievement into context in terms of how much speculation and risk Huddersfield could take. He also pledged that season tickets for the Premier League, if/when they got there, would be £100, and used £2 million of this season's TV revenue to subsidise their season tickets to £179 each.

    This probably doesn't tell us anything we didn't know or suspect, but shows again the scale of finances we are up against, on and off the pitch.

    Be interesting to see if Dean Hoyle is prepared to invest a chunk of the reported £170 million the Club earned
    yesterday as some on the board have already pointed out five of the team that featured yesterday are on loan and return to their parent clubs after today's
    planned victory parade i.e Ward-Liverpool, Mooy- Man City, Kachunga- FC Ingoldstadt 04 and Kasey Palmer
    and Izzy Brown both from Chelsea.

    It doesn't sound such a "fairytale" now does it? A bit like the Russian backed Bournemouth AFC. Also bear in mind that the John Smiths stadium was already built when Dean took over. Tony Stewart's apparently spent £20 million including buying a new stadium, their Finances or budgets don't compare.
