It's who you are. sounds about right, given the fickle bloody nature of some of our "fans", we lose 4/5 in a row with Wagner and then theyd be wanting him out, or the footballs not "entertaining" enough

I believe so ..... evidently he offered to stay until the end of the season but the Huddersfield board felt it was best for him to have a break
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 So those grasping at straws want us to play so entertainingly like Huddersfield? ? And we definitely need a manager who "needs a break from the rigours of football management."
southfox66 Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 Its baffling to me why he has left Huddersfield if anyone likely to keep them up he's the best opinion they have, they maybe bottom of table they are not in an impossible position yet, I doubt he would thrown in the towel, so I can only assume he was made an offer he couldn't resist or personal reasons that need to take him away from football

There would have been a lot of interest in Wagner in the summer and they probably wouldnt want that disruption and uncertainty. They could also be hoping the new manager bounce might get them to safety. All speculation of course.

Why would we play like Huddersfield when we've got one of the best and highly paid squads outside the top 6. The blokes been polishing a turd for quite some time now. He might be a decent fit for us ( Could also be shite?)
Happy Fox Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 Quite well loved for his achievements at Huddersfield town, but we are a different club and have bigger expectations, I don’t think he is a bad manager but is he experienced enough and can take us to the next level?

My points are Huddersfield play largely boring football with few goals irrespective of their personnel. And for that matter, I don't think our squad is quite as good as some have us believe. Furthermore, seems he has quit because the pressure is a bit much with the likely prospect of relegation, in light of the wording. Hardly Pearsonesque for example despite what he did last year when Swansea imploded.

However our form has taken a nose dive in the past 3 games along with the quality of our performances and if we continue like that for the rest of the season it will be a very underwhelming end to the season. Puel does however have a habit of pulling something out the bag when things start to look ropey, i’ll give him that. I’m not calling for Puel to be sacked for Wagner right away. I’m just throwing the idea out there that if Puel does go Wagner might not be a bad option. This Leicester side has bags of potential and if he can get that Huddersfield team playing to their maximum, imagine how good we could be if the same happened to us. He's almost certainly a better motivator and man manager but I still don't see that it would be anything more than a sideways (at best) move on our part. It'd be totally underwhelming - I can't see how the people slamming Puel for a lack of ambition could be happy with appointing a man who's left his (admittedly shit) team bottom, 8 points adrift of Neil Warnock's Cardiff. I don't think he's a bad manager by any means and he's done wonderfully well at Huddersfield, and I'm also wary of turning my nose up at potential targets as I don't think we're anywhere near as attractive a proposition as many think. That said, when Puel does inevitably move on I would hope we would be able to come up with a more impressive and imaginative replacement than Wagner.

They play boring football because his squad is incredibly limited for this level and he's had to make the best of what he's got. Come on, our squad is very decent with young internationals with good futures ahead of them and experienced players like Vards, Kasper and Morgan to help them. They should be putting up better performances than they have since the beginning of the season and most of last.

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. Would have worked way better with ABC - Anyone But Claude??

Thats the point though, Hudderfield have no business being anywhere near the Premier League yet he motivated that very limited squad to go from nearly being relegated to League One to getting promoted to the Premier League and staying up. Don’t get me wrong it would be a gamble but as i’ve said we have a lot of potential in this squad and if he can get them playing out of their skin week in week out then we really could go somewhere. To top this all off one of our players has publically announced how much he enjoyed playing for him.. how often does that happen? That being said it could be a gamble that fails. As much as I despise the football Puel plays it manages to scrape enough points from being so safe that we’ll never really be in danger of going down. We’ll be bored to tears but we’ll be safe. Depends on what you want really, take a risk and potentially get a reward or play it safe and never really go anywhere.

And counterattacking is largely out against sides that now sit back and prevent that. Moreover, though, back to Wagner, Huddersfield didn't play particularly scintillating football in the championship.

But Wagner strikes me as a very honourable, honest man. If he says he needs a break, I believe him. I don't think we'll see him in another job until next season at the earliest. Maybe that will be at Leicester, maybe not.

I'm an advocate of stability but I am not firmly a Puel in due to some of the frustration that all fans of the club feel. I would certainly not want to change manager to the detriment of the club particularly with the tragic recent events still being raw to Top, senior management and players.

Our manager lacks sufficient tactical ability to overcome problems that his team comes up against on too many occasions. Like I said, don't know if Wagner's the answer but Claude has been desperately poor in his pre match selections and game management.
Bezzanator89 Posted 14 January 2019 Posted 14 January 2019 I'll take any Jurgen Klopp lookalike right now if it provides any sort of consistency! Gerrimin! Or not. He took them as far as he could, to keep them up was nothing short of miraculous. Will see him again in management soon.
