Ritchie Not Bitter Over Sacking

<p class="big">Andy Ritchie has insisted he does feel any animosity towards Barnsley. </p>

Barnsley axed Ritchie as coach last week following some disappointing results, claiming he had not done enough to strengthen the team in readiness for the Championship. </p>

Ritchie initially said he felt very let down by the club but he has now come to terms with the decision. </p>

&quot;I don't feel bitter and I've no regrets,&quot; he said. &quot;It's part and parcel of the game. </p>

&quot;If you're a manager, it's an occupational hazard. Footballers get injured, strikers suffer lean spells in front of goal. You take these things in your stride.&quot; </p>

Ritchie is looking to return to management, but not before he catches up on a bit of family time. </p>

&quot;I won't be rushing to get back in straight away. I'm going to enjoy a break with my family and hopefully get away somewhere,&quot; he explained. </p>

&quot;I'll have a little think about things then and take stock, but first and foremost I just want to spend time with my wife and family - it's the least she deserves because I've not seen her for a while.&quot; </p>
