David Wagner gone - spireitematt - 14-01-2019
David Wagner has left Huddersfield by mutual consent.
Big Sam is apparently favourite to take over.

Daftest decision since letting Shankly go.

Football is a results business, where managers are judged on results. Even if he stayed with Huddersfield and gone back down to the Championship, he would have been snapped by another Premier League club or another club some where.
What you need now is a manager who can keep you in the Premier League or steady the ship in the Championship if you get relegated. Too many teams who have been relegated from the Premier League then fall again into L1. Bolton, Blackpool, Blackburn, Wigan, Sunderland etc.

Always came across as a decent man always think managers have a limited time period and after three and a half years it's harder to motivate them, did wonders for Town

Gutted. He was 100% terrier.

Sounds like he chose to leave and arguably kudos to him for that.
The names being linked make me want to think twice about renewing if I'm being honest.
I dont rate pardew, hughes or any of them really

Sad day - I said earlier in the season the only problem I have with him is his style doesn't create/result in enough goals. It might do with better forwards but hell, we paid enough for the two lads up front to miss as many chances as they did in the first couple of months.
It's been a blast for as long as he's been here, a complete breath of fresh air from the merry go round of failed British Managers/Coaches and I never in my wildest dreams thought we'd be back in the mix with the big boys again, having last been there as I left junior school to go play with the big boys (and girls
). Deano was only trying to achieve mid-table mediocrity in the Chumpionship when he set him on and look where we ended up.I wish the bloke well wherever he goes and whatever he does. He's allowed many of us that were there in an almost deserted Cowshed, or elsewhere in the ground in the depths of the old 4th Division, when Town recorded their lowest ever league gates, to live the dream.
Big Sam doesn't need our brass and we don't need a mercenary like him with what he thinks is football. We don't need to play League 1 style hoofball for the last few months and still go down anyway. He'll be wanting what we paid Wagner in two seasons for effectively 2 months work and then sod off into the sunset when the inevitable happens. At the moment it's just paper talk, let's hope it stays that way.
Wouldn't be surprised if Deano looks abroad again. Despite the result on Saturday I booked my ticket for Chelski on the way home from Cardiff on Saturday.

Very very very good manager and person if it was possible in this day and age. Hope you do get big Sam and stay the eff up ! Anyone else ( unless it's Warnock I) then you're doomed I'm afriad .and I don't want you back in our league ,we can't handle Rotherham let alone more bastard Derby's that we throw points in the bin .
And we've signed effing Bruce ffs ! If only we had waited ?
RE: David Wagner gone - turkeydinner - 14-01-2019
I really rate him, think if he went to a bigger foreign team he`d probably win the league
His achievements at Huddersfield have been gargantuan and props to him for not just buying `x` mercenary player, sadly its the way that even laying breathtaking football if you dont score enough you are at the wrong end of the table.
Really hope for the supporters on this forum that you get a good announcement rather than a merry-Go round appointment

As for this lot - https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/huddersfield-town/sam-allardyce-early-favourite-to-replace-david-wagner-at-huddersfield-town-1-9537070
I reckon Deano will put their applications in the same drawer as the one from Dean Saunders, who he invited to apply a wee while ago on Talksport, when it was as clear as the second hole in his arse that Deano had just drilled for him, that he hadn't a clue about any of our players.
