Don’t know how this can be a surprise for anyone really. In my opinion Hurst was off even if we had won on Sunday, that he may have been feathering a nest over at Ipswich for a few weeks prior to now doesn’t really matter. I’m not surprised or angry in relation to Brian’s comments this morning because I have long accepted that the only people that are loyal to a football team are the fans, as for the rest, the players, the managers, well they are just a bunch of mercenaries 99.9% of the time always looking for a better pay day. Brian moans about it all but no doubt he will be off one day too.

Carlton Morris doesn’t score His goal got us to Wembley, idiot Doesn’t mean he isent a cr@p goal scorer - which he is he has scored 10 goals in 54 aperaces for us in all competitions thats 1 goal every 5.4 games- a quite awful and shocking return from a striker playing week in, week out. but no, he must be a fantastic goal scorer if he got a header against a team a leauge below us. and if you were referring to the goal against Charlton, I think you’ll find that even if he diddent score it, we still would have gone to wembely.

I’m pretty sure he would of been off regardless, I bet Mick McCarthy recommended him as his predecessor and this has been a done deal for weeks, which may well explain a lot as I’m sure most inside the club would have sensed something was up, add to that several others probably going also and what are you then left with in terms of team spirit in the final run in. We needed to all go up together (like Rotherham) otherwise we would be like lambs to the slaughter next season in the championship. You can’t blame hurst though, he owes us nothing and is going on to bigger and better things, whilst leaving the club in a much better position than he found it in.

Absolutely correct. Famously, no team has ever scored an equalising goal with half an hour of a game to play. Morris might as well have stuck the ball into row Z.

If Hurst had stayed the most he could have achieved is a slight improvement, outsiders would expect a team finishing 3rd with 87 points to be in the promotion mix the following season. He was on a hiding to nothing.

Some interesting comments below the line on that article. At least one of them has the decency to ask the question about how would they feel if somebody tapped up their manager before an important play-off game.
Also another interesting suggestion that we haven't reported this to the EFL because the compensation was substantial.

Hope they fail next season!
Not because of Hurst, more how that club has acted.

He came up short against Blackburn and Wigan this season and they will be lower end budgets along with Ipswich next season. I have no doubt they will be competitive but it sounds like the Ipswich chairman wants promotion without paying any wages to do so. Be a huge ask to get anywhere near the playoffs.

Here's the comment.
"Amazed at how many of our fans are conducting themselves about this also, seriously, grow up and gain some perspective.
Shrewsbury are a tiny club who have massively overachieved - and probably their best chance of second tier football has gone for a long time.
We're sniffing around hours after a play off final.
Say we lost in a play off final and .... lets say Wolves were sniffing around a few hours after with a deal about to happen I don't think we'd be best pleased.
Not at all happy at how we've conducted ourselves here."

'Tiny Club'? Tossers. Were smaller but that is insulting... All things are relative, wouldn't be too upset by that - it's just a throwaway comment. If we were in the championship, we would be tiny - like Burton. Never really more than 1 club that size in that league and more often than not there are none.

How is it possible to "over achieve"? You achieve what you achieve. Every club has the potential to create a great season. Town just did that. Thank you, Hurst & Co.

Sometimes you wonder what football is all about. We battle all season and nearly achieve promotion and in the end achieve nothing. The three teams that were relegated the previous season were all promoted. We end the season having got nowhere without a manager and the prospect of a potentially successful team being torn app art. What a total waste of time and money. No wonder we struggle to increase our support.

I think 99% of us new that even if we went up on Sunday, Hurst and a few others were gone before the start of next season. And if I'm being "totally honest " I wasn't that gutted about the outcome and at least Rotherham deserved it (on the day). My main reason for going was to thank them at the end for the other 48 games plus really. You could tell there was something between them..... However after listening to Brian on radio Shropshire you have to wonder what Hurst and his agent we're playing at. Did they really have to be so calculating. Er no. They f*****g didn't. They were only at the club 18 months. At least have the decency to go through the correct channels. Look how Henderson conducted himself. You could tell it meant something to him. I wish that young man all the best for his carear. Hurst and his side kick.....Well you can go f**k yourselves 👊

Yes at times like this it does feel hard to go through the whole process of getting to know a new squad and manager in the summer and getting behind them through thick and thin as the season progresses. Deep down we know it’s really just a group of 20 blokes in blue chasing a ball around for 9 months before buggering off to chase a ball around in another colour next year. The 20 blokes with most cash behind them generally win Yet still I’ll be there in August with excitement at a new season starts to go through the whole sham again

Didn’t just about everyone on here think Hurst would be going at the end of the season? It’s the end of the season, Hursts going. Not quite sure what all the lather is about? Agreed. It was as sure as sunburn in Block 110. All that's left to do now is nail Ipswich for as much compensation as we can get and that's the game BC and Roland are playing right now. Good luck to Hurst, but he's the past. He gave us a great season and personally after the rubbish we've been served up over the years it's been a welcome change. But ultimately we didn't go up and he was always going to go. Any compo would be nice, but quite frankly I'm bored of him now and much more excited about who the new guy (or woman ) is going to be. And wouldn't it be great as a sign of intent to go out and break our transfer record on a thundering 30 goal a year striker! That sign of intent is important to keep the current squad interested in staying.

We'd be a small club in the Championship - tiny is insulting. Brentford is a fair comparison, not Burton - they've been a non-league club for basically their entire history until recently and have a miniscule fan-base - what they've achieved is staggering.

I take it there may not be much transfer activity between the two clubs.

If as expected Nolan is wanted by ipswich it may spark a bidding war (thanks) and it'll be interesting to see how far ipswich will support Hurst if other clubs put bids in for Nolan plus what is best for Nolan.

Some of this is fairly embarrassing to read.
Paul didn't put a foot wrong in any significant way whilst he was here and gave the fans the most enjoyable season at the third tier for almost 40 years.
He's moved onto a bigger job which no doubt can pay him more and which I for one hope he is a roaring success in.
Good luck Paul. I hope your successor can get us another crack at the play offs or even the top 2 next year. Its been a hell of a lot of fun.

So then "WelshShrew", you don't think Hurst did anything wrong...? So it's ok to have talks with another club during the season, but demands 100% from kids half his age.. And then flys off to the other side of the world, so hopefully things would have calmed down when he comes back. You wouldn't be joining a club in that part of the country with a "limited" budget (to say the least), the f*****g day after the final without alot of ground work. Do you honestly think he have a f**k.
