Grew up in those parts and still have a number of friends who follow the Terriers. It is a rumour but there there are lots of others. Following the story as closely as I can it seems far more likely that Hodgkinson, the owner, decided he wanted the Spanish coach Corberan from Leeds United to go for a different style. I think it is a crazy decision that he and Huddersfield's supporters will regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One article in the local Huddersfield paper says Hodgkinson had been sounding out the possibility of bringing in the Leeds coach, Corberan, last month. That would suggest there is little truth in the rumours they's applied for the Bristol City job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting is that Cowley had barely been mentioned, if at all, on here until the news of his departure broke yesterday, and certainly no indication of him being a serious candidate. Yet reading comments from Huddersfield fans, it seems to be fairly common knowledge/suspicion amongst them that he was interested in our job.

Lrrr Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Didn't want more people clicking on a The *** link that had to..... The *** understands owner Phil Hodgkinson wants total control over transfers — but his manager was not willing to work that way. Cowley, and his brother and assistant Nicky, were fired after Terriers avoided the drop to League One by beating West Brom. Hodgkinson is talking to Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson and Marcelo Bielsa’s assistant Carlos Corberan. Insiders claim the Terriers’ owner decided he was going to dismiss the brothers during the coronavirus lockdown. A club source said: “Danny and Nicky had an inkling and could have just walked out. “But they wanted to see it through because so many jobs were at stake if they went down.” After Friday’s 2-1 win, Cowley said the club needed to sign working-class British players fans would identify with. Sources say Cowley felt they should follow the model Sean Dyche has used at Burnley. But Hodgkinson decided he wanted to bring in European players. It is also understood the owner released several players this summer against Cowley’s wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
