ANOTHER season that promised so much, another season of disappointment for Huddersfield Town, owner Kevin Nagle and Terriers’ fans.

Having seen the 2024-25 campaign wilt away to nothing in the closing weeks, the arrival of first-time manager Lee Grant offered hope next time out.

Like the majority of Yorkshire’s clubs in League One, the Terriers got off to a promising start, only to – once again – fall away.

While always retaining a position of being in and around the top 10, it wasn’t enough for Nagle who sent Grant on his way, replacing him with former Norwich City boss, Liam Manning.

After an initial positive impact, Manning was sadly forced to take time off on compassionate leave for family reasons, meaning Martin Drury and Jon Stead were required to get the team through the remainder of the season.

Ultimately, finishing ninth was an improvement of one place on the previous campaign – but it was still a disappointing outcome and Drury – with Stead as his assistant – has been given the task on a permanent basis to lead Town back up to the Championship.

Yorkshire Post football writer Leon Wobschall casts an eye over Huddersfield’s 2025-26 campaign, while looking ahead to the work that perhaps needs to be done during the off-season to give Town a decent chance of ending their time outside the Championship by this time next year.
