Over the last few weeks there has been speculation over whether or not Terry Fisher would be a part of the terriers' future. Some rumours suggest that Fisher and Davy may have had a falling out over the appointment of a new manager. However, according to Mr. Fisher, the reason he has stepped out is because of his commitments in Spain. whatever the reason is, Terry Fisher is no longer a part of the club's rescue consortium, that's for certain.

Mr. Fisher spoke earlier on today about his decision to bow out of the consortium. He said: "This has been an extremely difficult decision for me, but I feel it is the right one for both me and for Huddersfield Town. I came back here to prevent the club I love being liquidated and I feel that job is now done."

"We are out of administration and I have done a lot of work behind the scenes to put a management team in place both on and off the field and I feel that Huddersfield Town has a bright future based on solid financial grounds."

"There has been a tremendous amount of effort gone into what we have accomplished over the past month - so much so that I have realised that this great club needs a chairman that is able to give it full time commitment. As my business interests and family commitments are in Spain, I feel I would not be able to commit fully to the job."

"I would like to thank Martin Byrne for all his help and support and under Ken Davy's leadership I am convinced that the club is in financially safe hands. I will go back to Spain in safe knowledge that Huddersfield Town AFC will not only survive, but will prosper and I wish everyone at the club every success in the future. I will hopefully be back at the McAlpine next season to watch Town and see how things have progressed."
