He's done the job - now let's back him - the Board need to get the New Meadow open next season, they need to back GP with funds to get the players he needs. I'm looking forward to next season Well Done GP

Hate to p*ss on the old staying up chips but didn't people on here get carried away with Ratcliffe once upon a time. Yes he's kept us up but let's not set ourselves up for another big fall again!!!!

I don't think we will play the best football under GP, but we will se is honest endevour, the will to win. GP is an open book in my view, what you see is what you get, he is a worker, and gets respect for that alone. He won't get it right all the time, who does? and we will have to be patient with the young players he will be playing next season, but he wants to put the whole club on the right footing, not just players. He also knows how to get the respect of the fans, by not hiding himself away.

I'll stand by what I said many months ago now when GP was appointed - he will go down in the record books as the best manager in Towns history. To compare this man with Ratcliffe is scandalous, there is no comparison.

Besdides the fact that under Radcliffe we conceded nearly 100 goals in the league and this season are 34 goals better off than Kiddy.. So in my book NO COMPARISON.. I love the way GP is going to give the youth a chance rather than relying on all the oldies.. He knows about balancing a squad with experiance and youth.. One thing that is apparent is that the lads WANT to play for the shrews now...

Yes Im very impressed with GP so far but lets not carried away
I remember when Ratcliffe first come and everyone said what a great appointment he was. First few years saw steady improvement and it wasn't just the board who wanted to offer him a new long term contract. It goes all pear-shaped and of course he was an awful manager which no on wanted to begin with
Then Quinn come in, made all the right noises and people (including myself) were very impressed because he seemed to be installing a bit of discipline into the team (I remember many people on here mentioning how good it was to see players travelling away together, players travelling away in suits, players training in the afternoon). Of course it goes wrong and again he was an awful manager
Yes lets give praise where it is due, GP has kept us up when at one stage it looked like it was trips to Forest Green etc again. But lets not get carried away, I know you say its ridiculous to compare him to Ratcliffe but Ratcliffe us over in probably a worse state than GP did and kept us up and was the messiah.It got even better when we nearly reached the play-offs a few years later but football can change quickly

I do agree MeoleShrew, I've heard some amazing things that GP has done for this club already which I know KR & JQ wouldn't have done and I've also never felt so optomistic about a new manager. I think Im just trying to be a bit realistic, some Shrewsbury fans are going around claiming him to be the next messiah (suppose it doesn't help when Sayfritz says he's the best manager we've had for 20 years ) but all I'll say is wait and see Im certainly 100% pro Gary Peters though

Well done to the team and the board and Gary Peters on the progress done this season,also dont forget at this time Jimmy Quinn who left this club in honour,without trying to make a lot of money and causing us a major headache in paying off himself and his staff.Gary has got the best out of the players at the club,give the man a chance to build his own side and lets look to being in a situation when the agony of waiting for the last results to see if we are relegated at the end.....Get GP on the payroll please STFC...Now.

Echo everything that has been said, now i believe the real hardwork starts for him with who goes who gets a contract, he will have some tough decisions to make about a lot of players, it would now be nice injuries permitted next week to se a bit more of Adaggio, Clampitt( if fit) and it would be great to see Ben Smith back if only for a few minutes, i don't think he would be able to do it in the last 2 games because both Swansea and Scunny have something to play for..
Here's to next season.

What worries me about Peter's is his apparent reluctance to sign a contract with us and the alledged interview for the Jester job. It does seem to suggest of a lack of commitment on his part towards the club. The Ryan Lowe situation was a strange one too. Why let a proven striker go at a crucial time of the season, especially when it's to a relegation rival. Lowe's goals have gone a long way to keeping them safe and could have put us in trouble. I equate it to what Chris Turner did three years when we were going for the play off's against his team Hartlepool when he pulled back Tony Lormor who was on loan with us at the time. Turner did the right thing by putting his football club first by not helping a rival play off contender so why did Peters let Lowe go??? You might think it's petty but as Rolf Harris once said 'it makes you wonder'.

Trev, i suggest you spend time reading the messageboard, Lowey wanted out and so GP obliged, Chester were never our relegation rivals, the bottom two were, afterall they are the positions to worry about, as for his contract, he will sign when he thinks the club are up for the cause, hes already stated he knew nothing of the Chester City stuff.
Im sorry to be so blunt mate, but negativity like this will make all the difference to whether GP stays, get behind him and lets see where we end up...as for Ryan Lowe, he was never good enough, on his day sublime and ready to grace the championship, but 9 times out of 10 he was mostly cr@p, good luck to him at Chester hes a nice lad but we can do a lot better.
GP has not put a foot wrong at STFC, every player he has brought in is doing the business, Even Sheron has weighed in with two criticle goals that have given us the points to make us safe.
The summer will see some major changes at the club and only then will we see the GP revolution that is set to sweep STFC off its feet to a very bright future.

Gary's made a good start to his career with the club. When he over I think everyone would have been delighted to be safe from relegation with several games of the season left.
His attitude is very refreshing and his faith in youth is also nice to see.
Of course the next big test is this summer and how he deals with the re-shaping of the squad.
If he can get us into mid-table for next season and maybe a sniff at the playoffs I'll be happy.
