Seen a few salty people relishing in Shrewsbury's defeat today and mocking Paul Hurst. I for one wanted Shrewsbury to win and have kept half an eye on them all season mostly as the team has Paul Hurst and a few ex town players.
People seem quick to forget he got us back in the football league. People also seem quick to forget that prior to him leaving we'd had a good start and were in and around the playoffs in our first season back. THEN he manages to keep Shrewsbury up and the next season turns the relegation favourites into a promotion chasing team.
I had the good fortune to actually speak to Paul Hurst at cheapside once and the guy had all the time in the world for me. We had a good chat about the club and what he wanted etc and it was a really nice experience for me and my son. I'm not saying he's a perfect manager. He didn't always endear himself to the fans and some didn't like his style of football but if you look at his stats it shows that he's a good manager who gets results and has proved this by continuing to do well and moving up the leagues.

I think we made a mistake in letting him go, not giving him the backing he wanted at the time (something that looks to have been rectified since with regards to backroom staff). He's a good young manager who has only got better. Let's hope Jolly turns out just as good and that we don't make the same mistakes.

Did we let him go I thought he left?.

To be honest I couldn't give a toss whether Shrewsbury had got promoted or not.

And he will be leaving Shrewsbury for Ipswich in a few days.
Never liked the bloke so intercourse him 👍


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Sour grapes from alot of people. I think alot more went on and maybe the board couldn't commit fully to what he wanted. they couldn't agree and he moved on. It's football. He's a great bloke and also met him on a couple of occasion's. He said on numerous occasions that the whole 'ear cupping' was aimed at the small minority of fans . He held our fans in the highest of regards.

I’d much rather Shrewsbury had gone up than Rotherham not that it affects us in the greater scheme of things

I’d just rather it had been some of our old boys who’d tasted glory than players from a club who a few years ago were negotiating their way through administration before sorting themselves out with a new ground on the back of their new found financial equilibrium

I can understand some Town fans wanting Hurst to fail after leaving us as they probably never forgave him for the ‘spoilt’ comments and the ear-cupping aimed at those who’d never taken to him, but I’d have been pleased to see him rewarded today for all the hard work he & his team put in to the past season

I’ve not forgiven Hurst for giving Vernon and Berrett two-year seals but I wish him no ill.

How quick he got us promoted !!! I’m sure in total it was around 6 years which is a very long time for a manager if you ask me ok he was with Scott for a bit also but I think he got lucky a few times with us not to get the Bullet good luck to him but we have to move on like he did UTM
