I'm sorry about Huddersfield's current position and very sorry about the mutual decision for David Wagner to depart. He would probably have taken you down this season, but I'd have backed him to get you back up. No one in their right minds would have rated your promotion prospects when he came, but you are where you are on merit. And having lived in Huddersfield and having achieved my only sending-off ever (in any sport) at Salendine Nook (after being nutted by a martial arts midget!), I'm genuinely fond of the place.

Me? Everyone will say I'm mad, but if I were you I'd snap up Gary Rowett till the end of the season. I still think he could do big things, but he has been both unlucky and has made some poor career choices. It'd be a roll of the dice for both parties but if it came off or turned turtle, hey at least you've not lumbered yourself with an expensive foreigner on a long-term contract, who you'll then allow to do next season's recruitment, before you accept that you've got the equivalent of former Chesterfield super-manager Gary Caldwell.

You've got to have next season in mind and the last thing you want to do is to be starting out under a guy who came up with two wins and a couple of lucky draws between January and May.
