Huddersfield announce sale to Hodgkinson

Huddersfield Town are being sold as they face relegation.

The Terriers will be relegated from the Premier League having already suffered their fate.

Chairman Dean Hoyle has been forced to sell to friend, and fan, Phil Hodgkinson due to his ill health.

A Huddersfield statement said:

"Sunday's game against Manchester United is set to be the final home fixture of Dean Hoyle's decade-long tenure as chairman, with a commercial agreement in place with Phil Hodgkinson for the sale of the club.

“Having taken over as chairman and owner in the summer of 2009, Dean has led the club into its most successful spell in 40 years, taking the Terriers from Sky Bet League 1 to the Premier League for the past two seasons."
