A statement from Huddersfield Town

Mark Robins has today left his role as Manager of Huddersfield Town.

Following yesterday’s first day defeat, Mark met with the Board of Directors. At the conclusion of the meeting, Mark and the Directors all agreed it would be in the interests of all parties to part company.

Accordingly, Mark’s contract has ended amicably and by mutual consent.

Huddersfield Town Chairman Dean Hoyle commented:

"Mark has put his all into the job over the past 16 months and has made a big contribution to the Club.

“He arrived at the Club at a difficult time and immediately impacted to keep us in the Championship.

“Mark’s approach to this has been refreshing. He has always put the Club before himself and worked tirelessly on the training ground to change our way of playing and we have seen that come to fruition.

“Mark will be someone that I personally, and we as a Club, will always remain in contact with.”

Huddersfield Town would like to place on record it's thanks to Mark and wish him all the best for the future.

Assistant Manager Steve Thompson and First Team Coach Steve Eyre will take charge of training today, assisted by the existing First Team technical staff.

Further details of interim management arrangements will be made in due course.

Apparently they have won 2 from 20 games.. that wouldnt have helped him.

But why the board let him spend over the summer is madness.!

Surely this has nothing to do with his win/loss ratio from the end of last season, because if he's literally just one loss away from being sacked, why would you bloody keep him over the summer? Must be more to it than that.

Great for us though, assuming they don't hire some inspiring new manager before Saturday.

I'd say I'm optimistic for next week now but we tend to lose against teams in turmoil
