He is best known for his spell as manager of Wimbledon between May 2002 and June 2004. during which time the team moved to Milton Keynes in 2003.

He was appointed as manager of Wimbledon in June 2002 after a successful spell as caretaker. He replaced Terry Burton, who had criticised the club's owners over the proposed move to Milton Keynes. Murdoch led Wimbledon to tenth in the First Division in the 2002–03 season, despite a number of supporters boycotting Wimbledon's matches in protest against the proposed move. At the end of the season, the club was placed into administration and a number of the club's players were sold off. Murdoch remained in charge at Wimbledon throughout the 2003–04 season. The club moved to the former England National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes, and were relegated, finishing bottom of the First Division and suffered the longest run of defeats at this level. In the summer, the club was renamed Milton Keynes Dons but the club's on-pitch fortunes remained poor. Murdoch was fired in November 2004, with the club in the relegation zone of League One. In July 2005, Murdoch joined Bournemouth as part-time goalkeeping coach. He was appointed joint caretaker manager, with Joe Roach, in September 2006 and held the post until Kevin Bond took over in October. He returned to his original role as goalkeeping coach after this. He moved to Norwich City as goalkeeping coach in January 2008, linking up again with Norwich boss Glenn Roeder. Murdoch left this role after just four days, citing personal reasons.〔(Search for keeper coach begins ).
