Huddersfield caused one of the shocks of the third round when, at home on 5 January 2008, they beat Premier League side Birmingham City 2–1 with goals from Luke Beckett and Chris Brandon.

In addition, other departures included Paul Rachubka, who was not offered a new deal and subsequently joined Blackpool (where he had spent the end of the 2006–07 season on loan).

On 11 March, Ritchie revealed he also missed out on Preston North End's Brett Ormerod and Watford's Hungarian striker Tamás Priskin.

On 1 April, three days after a humiliating 4–1 defeat at Oldham Athletic that dashed any lingering play-off hopes, it was announced that manager Andy Ritchie had left the club by mutual consent.

Front-runners include ex-Brentford and Leicester City boss Martin Allen, ex-Town player Mark Lillis and ex-England captain Alan Shearer.

On 24 April, it was revealed that Town had asked for permission to speak to Derby County assistant manager Stan Ternent, which was granted by Adam Pearson.
