Definitely helped by the fact that they sold Alfie May for nearly 800k (to another league 1 club!). Shows the differentials town are up against finance wise. Birmingham, Huddersfield, Blackpool, Portsmouth, Charlton all paying fees well beyond Shrewsburys means, and thats ignoring the wages. The quality in league one this season looks better than last season

But yeah 4 is definitely a stretch at the moment.

Crawley were one of the favourites for relegation last season as had very few players signed up, but ended up getting promotion.

James Bolton has joined Fleetwood Interesting that Bolton moved yet again and surprised that Hurst didn't fancy him back. One of the best right backs in recent years and a vacancy to fill in the XI

I think Wrexham will be down there. When we played them last season they would have been playing out of their skin to get a result and whilst we were shockingly bad they were just as bad. Massive difference between top half league 1 and league 2. I have not seen any signings for them which has made me think they will be anywhere near the top half. Bookies prediction for relegation Crawley 4/5 Shrewsbury 11/8 Northampton 13/8 Cambridge 13/8 Stevenage 9/4 Burton 9/4 Exeter 9/4

O'Brien was with the out of contract players training camp last week. And his twitter bio is "Free Agent".

See that Ryan Sears has left Newtown and has joined Caernarfon, possibly for the European experience as they beat Crusaders of N Ireland in a first leg Europa League match 😁

Joins other ex town player Louis Lloyd. Both him and Sears seem to have pretty good last seasons. Josh Daniels, still at TNS, played for them too in their Champions League first qualifying round against Decic Tuzi, the champions of Montenegro, picking up a 3-0 win in their first leg.

Strange how footballers careers develop. I thought Ryan Sears looked a decent lower league defender and still have difficulty realising that Ivan Toney plays for England.

Wow,a real left field appointment but it makes sense if the former Wycombe owner is buying Reading as he will know Joe very well and will be aware of his capabilities.

Another story in the funny how things turn out department. When Les Rimmer retired as club secretary Jim McLaughlin applied for the job but Malcolm Starkey got it. So Jim returned to Ireland and became the most successful club manager in that country’s history.

Most have heard the story regarding Martin McGuiness,the bomb warning and then the IRA removing the bomb so the game could be played

He wasn’t a sentimental man and had very little memorabilia in his house. About the only football related photo on display was Sven and him shaking hands after the game. I didn’t know the bomb story, strange he didn’t mention it!

Most have heard the story regarding Martin McGuiness,the bomb warning and then the IRA removing the bomb so the game could be played It was brought up in the documentary about Jim. Martin McGuiness was a big Derry City fan and had tickets for the match but wasn't aware that a bomb warning had been given and the match was going to be called off.When he was told the bomb was miraculously unplanted. There's a photo of McGuiness on the terraces at the match with some "friends"

Good for him. He deserves it. Just wish he’d stayed here. He always came across as a fairly intelligent guy, but CEO of a league 1 club thats hardly been stable over last few years is pretty bold. What would town fans be saying if instead of Liam Dooley, Elliott Bennett had been appointed?
