"Since Graham Turner’s regime came to an end in 2014, Shrewsbury Town have made four different managerial appointments. Of those, only John Askey has been dismissed by the board’s decision: Micky Mellon, under fan scrutiny, chose to drop two divisions to go to Tranmere, Paul Hurst was tapped up by Ipswich and of course Ricketts remains in charge. Interestingly, each of these managers have got their respective jobs off the back of success in the National League. Perhaps Roland Wycherley felt, having worked with lower budgets, they would be more comfortable with the limited resources at Shrewsbury. Up to this point, though, the problem has arguably been that their managers have not had the contacts from higher divisions to add quality to the squad and bring sustainable progress. Ricketts, though, bucks that trend." The 37-year-old played a big part in the club capturing Manchester United Development Squad defender Ro-Shaun Williams on a two-and-a-half-year contract - and getting attacking left wing-back Ryan Giles on loan from his former club Wolves. The former defender is also politically-savvy. He kept the interim coaching team that had done well after Askey’s exit on board – then when he was asked if he wanted a new assistant, he said he was “happy” with what he had. Those comments did no damage to his relationship with Danny Coyne, but it also meant that in the summer, he could replace Coyne with Graham Barrow – a very experienced figure in the game with whom he worked at Wrexham – without going back on his word. Ricketts has been backed with a healthy budget this summer and could turn the Shrews into surprise Play-Off contenders." who knowes what the season will bring for town but no pressuer when you read he has been given "a healthy budget and bring sustainable progress"

It will be interesting to see what happens at Fleetwood. The club really has no choice at this stage but to stick with Joey Barton who is pleading not guilty to the assault charge at Barnsley. Found guilty however and you would think that will be the end of Barton in football unless he gets to manage a prison team. Good luck to MM at Tranmere. Its a big step up but hopefully he would have learnt something from his time with us. Fine margins.
