Huddersfield’s season started on Saturday. And they’re already looking for a new manager.
Huddersfield Town fires manager after one match
The under wins.
Paul Thomas
The Terriers canned Mark Robins after they were thrashed 4-0 by Bournemouth at home on the opening day. Apparently, they had seen enough.
“Mark and the directors all agreed it would be in the interests of all parties to part company,” the club said in a statement.
As bad as the opening match was, and as many boos as the fans rained down upon the team, could that have really been enough time to change their mind on Robins, who was apparently a good enough manager for them 90 minutes earlier?
Yes! At least in Huddersfield’s mind. They were a revelatory 90 minutes that have them incredible new insight to Robins and his capability as a manager that they did have for the preceding three months.
Robins kept Huddersfield was relegation to League One after taking over in the middle of the 2012/13 season and they stayed up by finishing in 17th place last season, but they won just two of their last 13 matches. That put Robins on the hot seat. The hottest seat ever, and he sat on it all summer.
So whoever bet the over on “time before a manager is fired,” you lose. It doesn’t matter what number you bet it at.
