Have they changed owners ? Pretty sure when Hurst left there was a few words said about the nature of the departure??

Shades of Slade mkI; lost the play-off final after looking nailed-on for automatic promotion most of the season, then promptly left for a club in the division above and took a handful of their better players with him.

Slade’s reasons for leaving were entirely justified when all came out in the wash (he wouldn’t be the last victim of Fenty’s bait and switch contract negotiation tactics), and it could be argued that Hurst wasn’t in a position to turn down Ipswich either, but I think both left a bitter taste in the mouths of their respective former fanbases.

Shrewsbury remain under the same ownership.

I was bored last night so listened to 'The Salop ' podcast to see if Hurst was mentioned ,he was most would have him back in a heartbeat .

They realise it's more likely they are cutting their cloth and  Aaron Wilbraham will be made permanent manager .

The chairman is an 80 odd year old bloke who has been their chief custodian for a number of years but without outside investment wants to tighten the purse strings, according to the podcast hosts he is very much of the 'old school ' sort of owner .

I can't see it happening in a million years - leaving an upwardly mobile club with modern ownership ,investment and stability for one that's penny pinching and just looking to survive .

The irony is Shrewsbury sound exactly like we used to be , I see them dropping down in the near future without arr  Paul at the helm.

The owner is the same, but the CEO who slagged OH off in the press has gone apparently.

I’d be amazed if this happened.

He isn't going to Shrewsbury. They are a smaller club than ourselves and at the peak of what they can achieve. We now have the infrastructure in place to do well and push on. He only left because of Fenty last time, and I absolutely don't blame him. Wish I hadn't bothered for 17 years.

Bit gutted, the thread title made me expect a graph or a spreadsheet detailing Shrewsbury fc results and history since hurst had left and maybe a summary of pro’s and cons.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

it wasn't a mistake the first time because it propelled him to championship & got him a decent pay off, but this time it would be a huge error of judgement
