After what initially appeared to be a match made in heaven, Steve Cotterill's tenure at Shrewsbury Town soured in its final six months.
Steve Cotterill when he was unveiled as manager of Shrewsbury Town.
But after what can only be described as a successful tenure on the pitch – which saw Shrewsbury achieve their second-highest finish in 33 years last season – he has moved on. The former boss had planned to make decisions about the Town players who were out of contract at the end of the season, but with so much uncertainty around his own future, he had told them he could not give them the answers they needed – and headed back home to Bristol.
On the pitch, Cotterill squeezed every last drop out of his players – flirting with the play-offs and keeping them in contention for a top-10 position right up until the final day. And perhaps the most interesting line in his statement said:"Despite regular financial meetings and warnings that spending is greatly exceeding income and budgets, it continues unabated."
