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!
