We should have at least put “during his brief time at the club” when thanking him.

Agreed.

That statement sounds so matter of fact, as if everything is hunky dory.

I know they can’t tell him to piss off and say riddance but that’s far too nice.

Erm your national league were 2 leagues above you so it’s obvious we’re better than you 😂😂😂😂😂

Even Shrewsbury fans think it's dodgy. Tells you all you need to know. Unfortunately everyone knows he's been tapped up. Just can't prove it.

It's funny when you had respect for him , now looking at him on the Shrews site video he looks very iffy to me .

I think you're right GGGG. I also think the last two sentences in the statement are quite telling. I suspect they may be making no further comment at this stage on legal advice. As others have said it is just not credible that with 80 applicants for the job all the discussionbs with SDR took place from Thursday night onwards.

He's gone. Let's now focus on getting the right man in as his replacement.

From everything said there's more to it. Stating in an official statement would mean we need proof. Which is messy and could cost a pretty penny which we don't have.

Looks to me like club have thought about that and took compensation which in my eyes is the best outcome. If he doesn't want to be here...then go. Twice in a year is more than unfortunate but we move on.

Hope he has an absolute mare and laments this day when he is old. I wont.... F*#k him the snake they deserve eachother
