A statement from our Chairman, Roland Wycherley MBE following the departure of manager Steve Cotterill.
As a lifelong supporter, as well as Chairman and custodian of Shrewsbury Town Football Club, it is my first priority and duty to secure and protect the club for future generations.
From time-to-time circumstances arise when difficult and unpopular decisions have to be made to safeguard the very future of our club.
We currently find ourselves in such a position and we would be failing in our duty if we shirk those decisions.
Unfortunately, because of confidentiality restrictions, it is not always possible to keep our supporters fully informed.
Premature leaks and gossip only exacerbate the situation, fuelling different agendas.
Going forward, be assured that management structures and new football strategies are already in place - the rationale for the actions we have taken will become evident in the coming weeks and months.
