I messaged the Town reporter earlier about his lack of updates and about the sloppy stars reporting on non Shropshire clubs, his response “there is no update you muppet hence the stonewall silence” now that was 2 hours ago and at 4.46pm he posts the obvious no update since the copy and paste of Dacosta just waiting on update from club once he has that he will copy and paste the info from clubs twitter and let everybody know. Please bring back Lewis or at least a competent reporter who actually works for the information. 😳 If there is nothing to report then what do you expect him to post?

The Shropshire star is a joke paper...giving more space on their back pages to Wolves is bizarre.

From what I remember, Lewis Cox got on the wrong side of Cotterill and ended up getting very little to write about. Possibly our manager has more important things to occupy his time than talking to the local press. I do agree however, that I have no interest in reading about Black Country teams in the SHROPSHIRE Star.

Exactly my thoughts, I was shocked to be honest and got the response on my twitter feed to prove it, I’d obviously touched a nerve, was only asking why no updates because when Lewis was the reporter he regularly kept updating everyone and gave updates from Brian and Steve etc. Not the most professional response but you are attacking his ability to do his job. Poor bloke is only just out of university and is in his first journalists job. He can't write about something he has no evidence of. He probably doesn't have the contacts yet, Lewis has the job for 5 or so years. I doubt your comparison is from what Lewis did in his first 6 months. And it's not his fault what his employer puts on the website. It might be the Shropshire star, but it's part of the wider Express and Star isn't it? That covers most of the west mids. Hence the reporting on clubs outside of Shropshire

It doesn’t matter whether it’s his first job or his 100th, being rude to people is just not on or professional in my book.

I note cox was fairly consistent in posting his fair share of spurious drivel.

Westbury has shot up in my estimations today for that. Quite right to put misspelled and misplaced criticism from ‘Outraged of Middle England’ in its place with the very mildest of put downs.

Do we still have a Head of Recruitment? If so, I wonder how much of his (?) salary is performance-related.

The response from him was poor and your constant hassling of him was embarrassing. If he had something to post then he would have done.

Just what I was going to post. A very low standard of reply and not acceptable. Did you see the barrage of tweets that led to the response?

I'd have just gone for a curt “there is no update, just a stonewall silence”, it's less typing too.

In my opinion Ollie Westbury should have just made something up, despite the fact we got our January business done early in a tidy fashion which led to four straight league wins, just to keep evo1991 happy.
Tbf, maybe a Hoover/barrynic style "I hear we're in for a player from a football league club" style rumour would have kept all parties happy.
