Bit like Leicester then.

Not really is it? One is bottom and one is top half.

 

Huddersfield wouldn't take six points off Chelsea and Man City.

But, but he's German, he's got facial hair, and wears designer glasses. Ergo he must be good.

He's a yank actually 

[TheSomersetFox]

I like him, I think he’s done well there. I can’t remember a forward line worse than theirs in the prem. Mounie and that other complete donkey, can’t remember his name. He’s not had much chance with those 2 being the ones to fire them to safety again.

 

Do I think he’s worth sacking Puel for? From what I’ve seen of both of them, no.

Depoitre ?. He signed both of them. For me, not a replacement for Puel

You are probably right but we are still turgid most of the time though.

I like what Wagner has achieved on a limited budget. I don't like what Puel did in the cups this year. I would like Wagner in charge

 Born in germany, played his whole career in germany  but played for the U.S national team through parentage. Son of an American father and German Mother.

His father is a yank. And he chose to play internationally for the USA. But he was born and raised in Germany. Played his club football in Germany. To all intents and purposes, he's German.

If Foxestalk was in charge of the club we'd be in league two within 10 years

Don’t want to go all “Stan Boardman” on everyone, (ask your parents) but what is it about ze Germans?

 

I mean I lived there a few times and love ‘em, my German Kumpels, and they do many things better than us, but managing a bunch of football players?

 

Just because they can sort out a gegenpress, it’s like they’ve discovered fire or something.

 

It’s like Scottish managers 10 years ago.

 

Quatsch.

[Guest Mee-9]

Gerrim in.

To be fair the bloke who is literally paid to make these decisions was also chasing him last year....

Says all about him doesn’t it !

I'd happily wave goodbye to Puel in the event that we lined up someone who represented a clear improvement but this would categorically not be that.

[VLC86]

3 months ago I would have said get him in, now I wouldn’t because if there is any point in replacing Puel it is to try and take steps forward and I don’t think this is any guarantee.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

11 points from 22. 

 

"Get him in"

 

Haahhahaaahaahaahahahahaha

No such thing as a guarantee though?

 

Any manager is going to be a risk. Even proven managers sometimes fail at certain clubs.

 

I think Wagner has proven to be an excellent coach and man manager. With better resources I don't think it's as much as a risk as people think.

[Anglodanglo]

Surprised there's not already a 'Wagner Out' poll...

[Strokes]

If you think this is the solution, you are seriously delusional to what is a problem!

Replace the American connotations for Algeria and the German ones for France and you've got  

[Guest Col city fan]

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Puel went and Wagner joined tbh

[Shaggy]

Rudkin as been on his trail for sometime now

[Blanchflower78]

Not sure if Wagner is the man although I'm pretty sure we were interested before. People calling him is a little harsh. Huddersfield were on the verge of heading to league 1 when he came in. He introduced the high press and got the Terriers flying. They stayed up and next season were promoted. Plaudits from all over for their attractive style, work rate and energy. 

He then kept them up as relegation favourites. People doubting ask yourself this, what would Puel currently be doing with Huddersfield in a role reversal. 

Would Mourinho be doing any better with them?

I'm not sure Wagner's approach is defensive but he has arguably the weakest squad on paper so incredibly difficult.  Still doubt anything in it.

Haahhahaaahaahaahahahahaha

Jardim had 6 points from 9 games for Monaco when he was sacked, yet he's been mentioned by some people for the Man Utd job.

 

I'm not say Wagner is the right man, but you have to look at the bigger picture.

That did make me laugh  

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Too many people on here suffering from ABP syndrome (Anyone But Puel). The main symptom of which is delusion. One of them will be along in a minute to say Bez from The Happy Mondays would have us playing scintillating one touch football and challenging for Champions League qualification.
