Wagner is in advanced talks with Albion. As long as all satisfied deal could be rubber stamped this week.


"@JPercyTelegraph

To be clear: Wilder appointment was vetoed by #wba club owner Guochuan Lai, who is based in China. Lai also made clear the remit was to appoint a manager who would not require compensation, ruling out the likes of Cooper, Ismael and Appleton"

I'm certainly not against the guy at all.
Yup, he's had some 'downs' but also some good success too.
An unashamed cut & paste from Wiki:

On 5 November 2015, Wagner was appointed manager of English club Huddersfield Town following the departure of Chris Powell.[12] He brought Christoph Bühler, who had left Borussia Dortmund on 1 November 2015, with him as his assistant.[10][13]

In the summer of 2016, Wagner brought in 13 players from across the continent, including Danny Ward, Chris Löwe, and Aaron Mooy. He took his players on a bonding tour of Sweden, where they had to survive with only basic equipment for a few days.[14] The team's success in the early 2016–17 season was largely accredited to the squad's tight bond, something that Wagner claimed was a direct result of this Sweden trip. A few weeks later, they visited Austria and kept two clean sheets in matches against Bundesliga sides Werder Bremen and Ingolstadt 04.[15] After an unbeaten start to the 2016–17 season, Huddersfield were top of the table at the start of September,[16] including a win at St James' Park against Newcastle United.[16][17]

On 29 May 2017, Huddersfield secured promotion to the Premier League for the 2017–18 season, following a victory on penalties in the play-off final against Reading.[18][19] On 30 June 2017, Wagner signed an improved two-year contract. [20] He was praised for his achievements in keeping Huddersfield in the Premier League at the end of the 2017–18 season, a feat regarded by bookmakers as improbable and described by The Guardian as "the Premier League's greatest survival story", with Wagner in particular noted as "a leader of rare charisma and intelligence."[21]

Give the bloke a chance, I say!

He's a man of great knowledge and will have used his time away from the game wisely. Don't be fooled by his record in our second Prem season. Everything was stacked against us then and we all wish he hadn't left when he did.

Obviously he's not unknown like he was when we signed him, but he will do a great job for you in the Championship. Better than that other funkwit you've just got rid of.

Fair enough, Drewks, but what does it say for the three years after 2018 ? :)

[harrogatebaggie]

My choices were
Hodgson (he was not interested)
Mcinnes
Wagner
Lampard in that order
I thought wilder had done well in the past, but had bought some real donkies for big money.
Appleton, the job is too early for him and whilst I like him as a manager, he needs more experience.
Terry - no no and no.
Re Wagner, it appears with shalke he finished 12th and that was after no wins in 16 games, so he must have had a great first half of the season. Anyone have any facts on this?
He did amazing at Huddersfield, and look what has happened there since he went. 
I am fairly happy with his appointment if it happens, I think we could have done a lot worse.
What do you all think?

[SomersetBaggie]

I guess Karlan Grant will be happy with the appointment!

Let's hope Wagner can get the best out of him.

Wagner had left before Grant was signed.
