Huddersfield chief executive Nigel Clibbens has rubbished speculation linking the club with former Aston Villa frontman Marlon Harewood. The Terriers were reported to be competing with Premier League new-boys Blackpool for the signature of the 30-year-old striker, who is a free agent after his Villa contract expired in the summer. But Clibbens told the club's official website: "I was very surprised to see that we were linked with Marlon Harewood in the press. He has never been a target." "Regardless of that fact, some of the figures Huddersfield Town is reported as being willing to pay are totally ridiculous. "Normally we don't give speculation a second thought, but reports like this bring our club and what we are trying to do here into disrepute. "Throwing our names into articles seems routine and I suppose we should be flattered; however, in most cases - just like this - it is absolute nonsense."
