Seems bizarre a club like Huddersfield will mutually agree to get rid of one of their most successful managers. He got them promoted on a shoe string, get them up for a season and even if they went down they should have tried the hardest to keep him there.

Not sure where next for him, surely plenty of takers, his stock has risen a lot since his X-factor cameo.

To be fair the statement sounds like it was his decision, not theirs. 

That's how I'm seeing this, Wagner going to the board being honest that he has no idea how to turn this around, nothing is working, probably best he goes. Owner tried to convince him to stay and work it out, but just became awkward and decided to part ways.

It's weird when you look at all the tweets and interviews which have come out the club, it's more than just a line to thank the efforts which someone like Karanka got, they genuinely seem down about this one. Not surprised as AdamRam said he's one of their most successful managers, going to be difficult to replace him.

One thing that will lighten the mood in Huddersfield today is Big Sam isn't interested according to "Sky Sources"

They know they had a good thing. They probably looked to Dyche at Burnley and thought, yeah we'll probably go down, but we have the best guy to take us straight back.

Wagner on the other hand no-doubt knows that the best he can achieve at Huddersfield, has already been done. Nothing to motivate him anymore. No reputation to gain, only one to lose,

That's the thing, and the timing of his departure won't tarnish his CV too much, 8pts adrift is a difficult job but not completely unachievable with a new manager bounce.

He walks away as the man that took Huddersfield up and kept them up. 

I can see him ending up at Bournemouth with Howe moving on to Everton in the not too distant future,

only joking.  Must be awful not having a clue how to turn it around.  Football is dependent on confidence and if the Manager doesn't have any, well destiny is set.  Very honest guy who should find another job fairly shortly.  Florest might regret MON

Will Huddersfield get 1 more point from their last 12 games and avoid joining us in the record books?

They've already won one more than we did - so we've kept the "least wins" record

They might still get relegated in March and join us there, although their last game of March is 30th so a day later than we played in 2007 - so technically they would have stayed up longer than we did.

We're never going to ditch these records are we ?

not until the formation of a breakaway superleague results in the number of premier league matches in a season being reduced to 4.....?

They way not have taken our record, but 4 points from the last 20 games must be some sort of record.

There got to be some sort of classification for low points as a newly promoted team, and low points as a non-newly promoted team. 

Theoretically, you could forgive a derby for being pathetic. Scraped through in the play offs, probably punching way above their weight. Fulham are in a similar boat (expected them to do better, but the play off winner is usually going to have a hard time of it, one way or another, and be among the favourites for instant relegation). But Huddersfield have had a full season in the premier league already, which they survived. So they really ought to be investing and improving on that. For them to have gone so far backwards that they’re mentioned in the same breath as our team, and are worse than a very bad Fulham team, is properly pathetic.
