Wouldn't mind them staying up for a year to show it can be done and just keeping Tab on for a couple years then bring in Wagner in 2019 and give him 7 to take us through WC2026 and leave a fingerprint on the team before he gets the ax. Something like what JK would have gotten with 2010-2018 had he not run afoul of Garber and MLS ownership. Looks like HT have settled down a bit in the table. I do wish them the best and hope they can stay up. Even if they go back down the boost in money should help them stay atop the championship table and well positioned for the future.

FWIW http://www.examiner.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/huddersfield-town-boss-david-wagner-13783476 David Wagner is being linked to the vacant role at Premier League rivals Leicester City, according to media reports. Town’s Wagner and Burnley’s Sean Dyche reportedly now among the frontrunners.
Why Everton Should Go For Huddersfield Town Manager David Wagner To Replace Ronald Koeman https://www.thesportsman.com/articl...manager-david-wagner-to-replace-ronald-koeman
Being rumored as possible manager at BVB: http://www.goal.com/en/news/wagner-...russia-dortmund-job/ppun7hjq1xof1gxh1lsczn0et Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner says he was not sounded out over the possibility of returning to Borussia Dortmund as head coach. Wagner, who spent four years in charge of the club's reserve side, had been linked as a possible replacement in recent weeks. But the 46-year-old dismissed any suggestion he was in the running to replace Bosz.
I'm not sure. Huddersfield are obviously doing pretty well right now, but I'm not convinced they have the financial wherewithal to keep pace in the EPL in the long term. If I were Wagner, I'd seriously consider taking an offer from a club higher up the ladder after this season ends. Assuming he keeps Huddersfield up, he'll be a hot commodity, and there's no guarantee he can repeat the trick next season.
sure after the season ends. but he could be a LEGEND at the club if he keeps them from being relegated. If Dortmund were to get a temporary manager until season ends and he somehow gets appointed as permanent manager in May, it'd work for all parties.
1. 1 season of keeping them in the EPL will not make him a legend. 2. He's young. He can be a legend at BVB. He can be a legend lots of places.
Actually he can. He's promoted them into the PL. Seemingly impossible for many people. And if he keeps them from being promoted will add further to that. Of course he can be a LEGEND at BVB. But why risk what he's assembling right now.
One season may not make him a legend in the global game, or even in England, but you can be damn sure it'll make him a legend in West Yorkshire.
They're 3-0 up against a 10-man Watford side - away - after 50' This win puts them on 21 points. Since the Prem went to 20 teams in 1995, 40 points has all but guaranteed safety (though fans of Sunderland in 97/97, Bolton 97/98 and West Ham 02/03 would note the exceptions) and 37 points is the average to secure EPL status. They're staying up. Edit: It finished 4-1 to 'Udders
The owner has said as much, even before the season started. He knows Wagner won't be there in the medium term, but they want him to stay and keep them up for as long as he can and then move to a proper big club where he can challenge for trophies at least, if not titles. Basically, if Everton or better come calling, and the compensation is paid, he'd leave with everyone's heartfelt gratitude - even if they go down in June!!!
The Guardian asked prominent fans and fanzine editors from the different clubs for their mid-term reports. This is the Huddersfield entry It’s hard to have too many complaints, given our Premier League status in itself is a minor miracle. We’ve had some setbacks along the way, which you’d expect with a promoted side, but on the whole have continued to confound the pundits. Midtable at the halfway stage of the season? We’ll take that. 8/10 Stars and flops: Belgian forward Laurent Depoitre was our find of the summer – £3.5m from Porto, which was, for a little while at least, our record signing. Aaron Mooy and Christopher Schindler continue to impress, too, and look right at home in the top flight. Given how everything is going and our expectations, it’s hard to label anyone as flops, but Tom Ince’s struggles in front of goal are frustrating – both for him and for us. He clearly has quality and he’s not shy about shooting – it just hasn’t been happening for him. Happy with the manager? How can you be unhappy with the man who made all this possible? There have been games when Wagner’s tactical decisions have been questionable but, like last year, he seems to learn from each mistake. His stock continues to rise. 8/10 Moment of 2017: No contest. 29 May 2017. Beating Reading on penalties at Wembley, promoted to the top division for the first time in 45 years – quite an experience. That said, beating Manchester United at home in October comes close. – Alex Taylor @AlexJT27
1-0 at half-time, at home vs. Stoke. Should get at least a point, though it's not been one-way traffic. If they get 3, they're on 25 points and need only 12 points (all of 4 wins) to reach the average safety level of 37 points.
Is it just me or is 8/10 a little low? I mean what do the Huddersfield fans expect Claudio Ranieri 2016?
