Bowyer to Birmingham and Cowley to us in the summer ...you heard it here first 

I'd love to see the Cowley's here at Charlton if Bowyer wasnt around

Maybe he's taken them as far as he can?

Indeed on BBC website, statement from Hudders chairman "We have a different vision for the way we operate the club, and how our ambitions can be achieved."

If he had a difference of opinion with the Huddersfield owners I'd love to see him meet ours.

I'd love to meet our owners too. 

Or even know who they are.

Think he might be out of his depth personally (was).

I assume that translates as Cowley wants money to spend and we're not giving to him?

Would be surprised as surely he's used to being on a budget with Lincoln

Unless of course he recognises the fact that he'll need money to spend at this level to succeed and isnt bothered about getting out now with his reputation in tact

A friend of a friend is a director of Huddersfield, or certainly was, he took great delight telling everyone that Wagner was his personal appointment. 

I was told they were appointed to keep them up with as little expenditure or take them straight back up next season, under the same restrictions. 

They were never going to get the gig long term in the championship. 

Harsh I would say.  But they have got loads of players on very good money so they shouldn't even be where they are.

Yeah big difference to getting Lincoln out of non league and league 2, where they were one of the bigger clubs with good support, than competing at this level.

My guess is that Huddersfield have drastically cut their budget (like many clubs) post-Covid and Cowley demanded more money, and the board refused to agree.

He won't be short of offers though, that's for sure.

strange as they barely stayed up two years ago on back of a good start, then they looked bloody awful and went down without a whimper last season and carried that on this season. You could see they were not one of the teams that was going to bounce back up. Not sure who they think would have got more out of them.

On topic of managers leaving. Reports coming out Watford are getting rid of Nigel Pearson before their final 2 games. Would mean they would be looking for a 4th manager in a season. Last 2 games are Man City and Arsenal 

That would be mad, Pearson has done a cracking job, they were rock bottom and dead and buried when he took over.

You could be talking about Stoke City.

The Cowley Brothers did an Amazing job at Lincoln, like Nathan Jones did at Luton.

You go from working with footballers earning £800 to £1500 a week to Shawcross and Allen earning 50k at Stoke and Mounie and Durm  35k at Huddersfield.

The hang over in coming down from the premier affects players and fans.
Always a tough gig for managers used to players with a mortgage on one house rather than players owning a portfolio of houses. 

Different psychology needed from working with national League players to ex premier players.
