Could that be Mr Potato Bread? I think the doctor will look for the best manager that is available. I think for the long term future of the club Wagner could be a superb appointment. If the aim is simply promotion then Bruce is also a good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Wagner has to be on top of the list without a doubt. He will not only rebuild our club, but he would get us promoted within two years. He is a manager that could potentially keep us in the premier league and make us competitive if we do get promoted. Money and time needs to be thrown at Wagner A man that clearly knows what he is doing. Quote Wagner is no hollow sergeant‑major. He laughs a lot for a start and his approach is rooted in more than an ability to foster a strong esprit de corps. He has overseen the appointment of a nutritionist and a head of performance services and has had it written into players’ contracts that they must live within 15 miles of the club’s training ground because long commutes hinder recovery. These are basic measures for a man who spent five years gaining a degree in biology and sports science from Darmstadt University after finishing his playing career in 2005. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/sep/09/huddersfield-david-wagner-no-electricity-no-beds-football-championship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is untested as a manager and in the U.K.? As i've always said Southampton is a model that we seem to be trying to replicate, they languished in the doldrums of obscurity for years before being the club that they are now. This could be us. Would you prefer to be a yoyo club? Or would prefer to wait a year or two to have some solid foundations built into the club and become a top 8 premier league club again? / Wagner seems to be the real deal, he would have everything at his disposal at this club. I think he would thrive here. Edited October 3, 2016 by Reivax_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal signed an unknown with experience in foreign leagues and some weird ideas about nutrition and stuff. It was at that point that a wide, generational gap started to open between our two clubs. It seems hard now to recall that we and the Arse were once of a level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd be very happy with Wagner. Good pedigree working with Klopp and already shown he has what it takes. Just because you're unaware of the guy doesn't make him the next "sliced bread" Unlikely he will come anyway so its probably going to be Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Reading that article Wagner is the kind of radical thinking we need to evolve. Please not another manager like Bruce. It's like groundhog day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Interesting piece in the brum mail from rowett about wagner, said huddersfield were the most drilled/organised side he's come up against. When they pushed up and tried to press them, the huddersfield backs calmly passed the ball out of defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 6 hours ago, dont_do_it_doug. said: I don't get it? Wagner seems like the kind of manager with a philosophy. A way of playing with certain types of player which can eventually give a club an identity. Although it's early days if I had to describe Huddersfield I can already say the seem organised and like to play football. This is something has been taught. Bruce's teams on the other hand have always been functional results orientated teams with no real identity. Which has always be great getting teams promoted but then struggled from there.

Now think of Hutton, Elphick, Chester and Cissokho doing that. There's not an ounce of calmness in those players. They would need to be sedated before every game for that to work. Either that or he gets Derren Brown in to hypnotise them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted October 4, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2016 Wagner sounds and looks impressive from the start Huddlesfield have had but it would be a big gamble. I'm not sure we can afford a gamble right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
