I don't give two kicks to a monkey's nose what the purists say, but I don't want to be watching league 2 football probably followed by conference football in time. The board stumbled on Hurst and a formula that seemed to work. Askey and Ricketts were and are way out of their depth. For God's sake, do what's right for this football club and get in the bloke that knows how to organise and motivate a team at this level. Ricketts has no more idea than Ratcliffe and I'm not going to sit on the sidelines and watch this farce whilst this clown tries his hand at management. There is a manager out there that is currently out of work and who may be able to salvage something from this dire situation. GET HURST NOW. Otherwise, we will be relegated for sure. Oh, and to those that say they will hand in their season tickets if Hurst comes back - go right ahead and then watch the crowds improve when he injects some steel into the side and we start to win again. You'll all be sitting at home. I want Shrewsbury Town to keep its place in league one thank you very much. So, the worthy brigade can do what they like with their season tickets but my advice to the board would be to do all they can to bring Hurst back. NOW.

You talk like Hurst is sat at home waiting for the phone to ring?
After the appointment of SR there isn’t a hope in hell that PH would want to come back to our club.
What’s done is done.

Hurst ain't coming back, and even if there was a chance he'd consider it, appointing him again would be needlessly divisive.
I wish we could all just accept the fact that it was fun while it lasted but he's a bit of a t**t, leave it at that and move on.

The opportunity to get him back was after Askey went but I fear that ship has sailed now.
The fact is we didn’t get him back and are we are paying for it now. br]

I agree. He left Sadler out today which is the worst thing he could have done. Williams is good but needs Sadler as the footballing brains. So too Beckles, he needs someone around him to tell him what to do and where he’s going wrong. Today we conceded so easily all because the where with all wasn’t at the back. You can call me all the names under the sun but what I’ve said above is right. The next bit I’m going to say goes against the grain but needs to be said. Ricketts I’m afraid to say can’t hack it. He’s shown today that he left out players that would have won the game. I do not care about the reaction to this because sadly I know I’m right.

Well well well...
Shrewsbury fans are trying to beat our record of 3 managers AND.... (drumroll).....
1 interim manager in 11-months!
Let's be realistic here. Ricketts is with you at least till the end of the season. It really would make the club look farcical at this stage of the season. It's a case of grin and bear it. The only consolation is that these days relegation battles are just as exciting as play-offs . True!

Hurst burnt to many bridges when he left. However, the board didn't learn from Askey. When he went it was time for an experienced league one manager, not a manager with four months of experience, at Wrexham.....

I agree with everything that’s said here. I’m resigned to regation. Rickets will not get us out of this. My head is low when i say this but it’s reality. Again he does not know how to use the players he’s got. In the The formation that suits them to get results. There comes a time I think in the dressing room where you tell the players this is the system that suits you either step up to the wire or **** off !!
That’s the bottom line . I’m sorry Mr Ricketts when we are relegated your gone.

They will not sack SR as he has just been allowed to bring in 10 new players a couple of weeks ago.
We need to accept that the board will give him time to try and bed those players in.
For me SR sets his team up in overly complicated ways. Trying to be to clever with formations, and style which results in players passing sidewards too often, or hitting long hopeful balls because the system they are being asked to play is too complicated / badly explained/ above the level of our players / needs more time than we have.
He needs to keep it simple, give full backs some cover, let the players play.

Appointing Ricketts based on his short spell at Wrexham was laughable from the start. But can the club really sack the chosen one and replace him with Hurst who was fully available at the time of Ricketts appointment? BC and RW would be a laughing stock.

There is no chance Paul Hurst would come back after what Brian Caldwell has said.
We are screwed, Sam Ricketts talks a great game but he isn’t delivering.
Too late to bring someone else in.
A very poor managerial appointment, the bloke has such limited experience and we threw him in to a relegation battle.
Pointless sacking him now, it’s just about praying that he can find the right solution.

Yeah we will just ride it out, can't wait till the 20/21 season should be great under Ricketts with him knowing the none league game like the back of his hand, he has a brilliant 4 months experience at that level so it's all about planning for the future.

My oh my get Hurst back (the messiah of football currently out of work!!!) and when he can't pull a rabbit out of the hat what then, I know get Turner back, get Mellon back, get Durban back, get whoever is wearing the rose tinted spectacles of the month back. Short memories of football fans should be on the list of dangerous diseases.

I think he is the wrong manager for us. I just think it is too late to do anything about it. He was the wrong appointment and I do not know why we appointed someone so inexperienced for a relegation dogfight. I’ve seen two good , experienced manager’s in Turner and Mellon end up completely out of their depth in League One and we decided to go for Sam “6 months” Ricketts? We are screwed but I just hope Ricketts can get something out of these lads.
