BBC Humberside Sport @HumbersideSport It's understood a deal has now been agreed & sources tell us it will also see assistant manager Chris Doig leave #gtfc to join Shrewsbury.
BBC Humberside Sport @HumbersideSport #gtfc confirm the departure of Paul Hurst and his assistant to Shrewsbury after compensation was agreed between the clubs.
Bit of an odd un' innit? You'd fully expect them to be in the same division next season and Shrewsbury are hardly a bigger draw.
Hurst got pissed off at Grimsby, he didn't think they were investing enough, they recently blocked him from bringing in a strength and conditioning coach. Apparently, the facilities are much better at Shrewsbury and he thinks he can take them further.
Rob Edwards and Karl Robinson the early favourites. Robinson would be a real statement of intent, given what he did with MK Dons.
They have a new stadium. Other than that they are simply a yo-yo club as they won't invest in the squad. I think Hurst is in for a bit of disappointment. One of my wife's best mates has been a ST holder at the Shrews for years. He said there's a lot of apathy amongst the fans for this very reason.
