Huddersfield will have a new manager

[Nori1958]

.... When we play them

[RVclaret]

Didn’t expect that. Huge loss for them…

[ClaretTony]

Been speculation for a few days now - hugely popular with the fans after last season too.

[jedi_master]

Good for us, in my opinion. It felt like it was the manager more than players which got them to where they were last season.

Hopefully this puts a bit of a downer on them for when we arrive!

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

Look set to be losing Lewis O'Brien as well, bad week for them really.

[Ric_C]

Where's O'Brien off to?

[ClaretTony]

Where's O'Brien off to?

Forest I think - we were linked with him last season

[Ric_C]

No guarantees but that surely weakens them.

Does that leave these teams as the favourites for Top 6?

Burnley
Norwich
WBA
Watford
Sheff U
Boro

Of course there will be a few surprise packages along the way, there always is.

Definitely a big loss for Huddersfield.

And those 6 are the ones I'd expect to contend, but Sunderland are a team who I can see being a surprise package.

[distortiondave]

Middlesbrough are **** and they'll be nowhere near.

[RVclaret]

Middlesbrough are **** and they'll be nowhere near.

Think they are doing some good business and Wilder has a full pre season to put his stamp on things. Fancy them to be up there.

[claretburns]

Reading the Huddersfield message board online they're not best pleased with Dean Hoyle for this. They say Carlos Corberán has been given no money to spend. Reports a rival club have approached him and Huddersfield fans mentioning Wagner, Dyche and Rooney as possible new managers.

Can’t see any of those names wanting the job

[Newcastleclaret93]

Middlesbrough are **** and they'll be nowhere near.

Be surprised if Boro aren’t in an around the top 2 this season.

Top manager, good squad, good recruitment.

[nyclaret]

They announced 2 signings yesterday- such odd timing

Given that our next season team performance is currently an unknown, I’m not sure how we can be listed as a favourite to get promoted! Still, I admire your optimism to include us in your question.

Aren’t all teams performances for next season currently unknown?

It would be the ultimate irony if our first game under Kompany saw Dyche in the opposite dug out.

I'll be surprised though if Dyche took that job.

Fair point!

[Hipper]

Aren’t all teams performances for next season currently unknown?

It's not just that. We will be a completely different team, new manager, new players, radically different playing system, it seems, and quite a few players who haven't played at this high level before.

We are a complete unknown entity.

[Top Claret]

Huddersfield lost there manager and Middlesbrough there best defender to Spurs, all good for us has both will be pushing for the top 6.

[louieollie]

What are the chances our Sean takes the post in time for our TV meeting

[Ric_C]

Forest I think - we were linked with him last season

He's a good player

[Ric_C]

And I'm a bit puzzled with your pessimism

[Tricky Trevor]

O’Brien been linked with Florist for £10m. Top player that I’d have loved to have on board but with Bastien signing I feel that ship has sailed.

[ClaretTony]

Carlos Corberán resignation confirmed by Huddersfield

[ClaretTony]

And because of their succession planning they have been able to immediately appoint Danny Schofield as their new head coach.

[ArthurShelby]

Imagine if our first game back in the Championship was against a team managed by Dyche.

Could happen, a higher end Championship club similar sized to Burnley I’d say.

[agreenwood]

They’ve appointed Schofield

[ClaretMov]

They’ve appointed Schofield

Is Willoughby going to be assistant

[claptrappers_union]

Not surprised at Willoughby being his number 2, obviously the bookies favourite, I'm gutted for Gordon the Gopher though.

[Jimscho]

Didnt know I had been appointed.

[joey13]

So Corberán going back to Leeds as assistant manager, resigned so Huddersfield won’t get any compensation

[Nonayforever]

Oh no, we are always at the wrong end of the new manager " bounce"
