Huddersfield - Its Elvis time

Yes indeed pop pickers, and Huddersfield fans, it is fast approaching the 'It's now or never' time for club and management.

The following sixteen players contracts are up at the end of the season.

I can easily see that potentially less than half of these players could be with Huddersfield Town next season.

Lucas Akins, Mitchell Bailey, James Berrett, Andy Booth, Chris Brandon, Danny Broadbent, Matt Glennon, Aaron Hardy, Luke Malcher, Rob Page, Danny Racchi, Danny Schofield, Frank Sinclair, Joe Skarz, Alex Smithies and Matt Young.

Of course the large number of contract renewals does offer any manager a huge opportunity to mould the squad into one of his liking.

This is why it is Vitally important for Chairman Ken Davy and his staff to decide before the end of the season if Andy Ritchie is the man for the job.

It would be foolhardy in the extreme to let Ritchie conduct all these contractual negotiations, if Davy's thoughts are to dismiss the manager in say October/November time if we get off to a bad start next season.

In my view a decision has really got to be made soon.
That is why I think the fixtures between now and the end of the season are still very important for the players and even more so for the manager.

Let us know your views, on both Ritchie and who you would retain or not.
