We’re not winning anything on the field, but off it…. Best announcements in the Football League looks like having our name on them again this year!

We’ve won the race to sign George Lloyd off Cheltenham beating off two other League 1 clubs for him. Been told the one club in for him was Northampton but no idea on the other. Should be announced tomorrow. Not a particularly exciting signing but he apparently did well under Hurst at Grimsby...

Chey Dunkley confirmed to Chesterfield. Happy we’ve got more deadwood and a high earner out. Not so happy that I’m told this afternoon that Dan Udoh is off to Blackburn. He deserves this move but it’s a big blow for us to lose our best striker. Down to nine players left at the club now and...

Our new kit has gone down very well with the fanbase as well as compliments from other fans, genuinely only seen one or two bad comments about it from some of our supporters. I personally love it and has potential to be up there with one of our best shirt releases, very retro feel. Blue & Amber...

Wycherley has done an incredible job at the helm. The position we’re in now compared to when he took over is night and day. ‘New’ stadium, no debt, plenty of assets, no financial issues, been one of the most stable clubs in the 92 in his 28 year tenure. He’s not getting any younger though and...

This will be interesting to see from a Shrewsbury perspective as this Nordic group tried to buy us but couldn’t reach a deal with our chairman Roland Wycherley so moved onto Burton instead. Talking of takeovers, we’re close to one ourselves for the first time in 28 years. Apparently it’s a...

He’s great when you’re winning, if not he’s a sore loser who sulks and blames his teammates when it’s not going so well. You’ll soon get fed up of his constant bumming of Wigan Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday on Twitter too. Just not captain material but saying that, his first season under...

Have heard he’s off but no idea of the destination but since writing that Dunkley went from a solid 7/10 most matches to a 3/10. He was very poor in the second half of the season. Needs to be in a back 5 or he’ll be exploited massively, especially against any attacker with pace. Should be good...

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like the perfect Paul Hurst striker tbh. We’ll be playing two up top next season so he’ll be fine in that regard. Might be a load of nonsense but the lad who posted it on our forum is a well respected member and says it’s from a ‘fairly reliable source’ so we’ll see...

Everybody is entitled to their opinion but I can’t see us going down, especially under Hurst. Like you say, this is Shrewsbury’s home and everybody else is just a temporary tenant here. I’ll post my predictions a week before the season starts when I can see what sort of signings other clubs are...

What’s Elliot Nevitt like Crewe fans? Rumour on our forum that we’re interested in signing him.

Apparently close to signing Joe Whitworth from Crystal Palace on loan. Remember watching Brighton vs Crystal Palace on TNT last year and the commentators talking about him being the youngest ever keeper to play in the Premier League. This would suggest Marosi is off but on paper I would be...

Crawley it is then! Congratulations lads!!

Crawley deservedly ahead but I can’t help but notice from watching these play offs is the gulf in difference between League One and Two in terms of physicality. Whoever comes up out of these two will be relegated in 12 months barring improvements.

Oxford are playing brilliantly, Bolton just can’t find a way through. I personally didn’t expect this as I’m sure many others didn’t. If it stays like this, League One next year could possibly be the toughest League One we’ve faced since we had the likes of Wolves and Sheffield United down here.

I agree with that. Whoever comes up out of the two is most likely to be going straight back down in a year or two’s time. That being said, hoping it’s Crewe heading down as it’s only half hour on the train for us and with the stadium being right next to the station, has to be the easiest away...

I seem to remember Dagenham beating Morecambe 6-0 at home in the play off first leg about 10-15 years ago.

Mal Benning signs a new two year contract. Happy with that as I was underwhelmed when he signed last summer but I have to admit, he’s been a solid signing in the end. Rumours that Marosi, Dunkley and Udoh are all set to reject new contract offers. Dunkley I’m not arsed about but losing Marosi...

Get in!! Can’t wait for that away day, please be first day of the season I beg!!

Jon Nolan was unreal for us. We signed Nolan for 150k from Chesterfield and Toto Nsiala for 25k from Hartlepool and a year later after finishing 3rd and two Wembley appearances we sold them both for a combined fee of 2 million to Ipswich who just stole Paul Hurst off us. Incredible bit of...
