Chief executive Simon Clegg says Town need to kick on during the second half of the season after bringing to an end the run of six successive league defeats which saw them drop into the Championship’s lower reaches.
Clegg said: "There is no axe hanging over the head of the manager, but it is time to kick on now as we are coming up to the halfway stage in the season. Everyone is focused and I’m still very excited about what we can achieve this campaign.
"We are building in the right direction, but there is further movement to go — and it’s time to move on. We are in a results-driven business and you live by results.
"You have to recognise how painful it was for everybody going through that losing run and we know what was delivered then is not what we want to see. We are looking for good times ahead and with a lot of confidence.”
Clegg reiterated that manager Roy Keane will be given money to spend during the January transfer window with the Blues boss already having targets in mind: "Roy will receive financial support from the owner. If there is someone he wants to bring in he will get backing.
"There may be players going out as you cannot increase the squad ad infinitum as that presents all sorts of challenges.”
Meanwhile, former Town striker Jordan Rhodes is claimed to be a potential target of Norwich City should they sell current frontman Grant Holt.
If Rhodes does move on, the Blues would receive a significant but undisclosed percentage of any profit Huddersfield would make on the £850,000 fee they paid for the 20-year-old in July 2009.
