campaign.

Germany agent Marc Kosicke revealed Wagner had received some “interestin­g offers”, but had opted to remain loyal to Town after “trusting talks” with Dean Hoyle.

Kosicke told German broadcaste­r SPORT1: “After the emotional recent days and the trusting talks with the club’s owners, David Wagner has chosen, despite some interestin­g offers, the Premier League adventure with Huddersfie­ld.”

And UK based John Morris told Sky Sports news went one step further, claiming not only is the German boss staying but a new deal is in place as well.

Morris said : “David and I have received approaches from other clubs in Germany and England but we felt that the journey with Huddersfie­ld has another story to tell.

“Preparatio­ns for the Premier League are well under way with David and the hierarchy at Huddersfie­ld.”

It has already been estimated Huddersfie­ld Town are set for a minimum of an £185m windfall from Premier League promotion.

However, the riches on offer for more than just one season in the top-flight – not just surviving but thriving – can be even greater.

For example, Chelsea FC earned nearly £151m from their title success, up an incredible £58m from the sum Leicester City received for winning the title a year ago.

The increase is a result of the new TV package which came into effect last season with each club receiving a share of £1.7 billion a year they share for domestic rights.

The Premier League shares money from its central commercial deals and overseas broadcast rights equally, meaning all 20 clubs received nearly £5m
