This is a very strange one. Shrewsbury are bottom of League 1 & look as though they will be back in League 2 next season.

Very strange for a Club to appoint a Head Coach who was about to see his present club on the way to being relegated.

Gillingham must be seeing something in him that most of the rest of football lovers don't. It has been confirmed in the last hour that he has become Gillingham first Team Manager.

I wish him luck with his new position. Very clever move from Ainsworth, jumping ship before being forced to walk the plank.

An effective manager for lower-league teams. I feel Shrewsbury have made a sensible appointment to replace Gareth Ainsworth. I can understand why Gillingham wanted him; it hasn't worked out with Shrewsbury this season, but at Gillingham it should be smoother to transition into what their potential is.

maybe they should have waited for him to get the axe? unless shrewsbury were desperate to avoid paying compo and let him go without a fee. 😅
