Huddersfield manager Andy Ritchie has been sacked. He will be leaving the Terriers with immediate effect with the usual "by mutual consent" send off. Gerry Murphy, Town's Director of Football Development, will take on the role of caretaker manager until a permanent replacement can be arranged.Huddersfield Chairman Ken Davy said, "Andy Ritchie is as nice a person as you could meet and we wish him every success in the future. Going forward however, our focus at Huddersfield Town now has to be appointing a new manager for our Centenary season. For whatever reason the reality is that despite an increase spend and new signings, we have not progressed as we all hoped this season. We will now take a fresh look at our options. Huddersfield Town has some great supporters and tremendous potential as well as great history. We need to find someone who can harness these elements as we celebrate the club's hundred years."
