00:00Just reading into some of the other stuff, or listening, sorry, to the stuff that he's
00:11been kind of talking about, you know, and when you think of Gareth Ainsworth, he points
00:15to the job that he's done at Wickham. He talked about how he's a builder and he likes to build
00:19things. You know, he's obviously not going to say this, but should come May, Shrewsbury,
00:25he's running League One end. It sounds like Ainsworth wants to be in this for the long
00:31haul. And it sounds like a long-term appointment, whether he keeps them up or whether he doesn't.
00:36Yeah, it does seem like that, but we don't know this at this stage. That'll be a question to ask
00:41tomorrow. There was no mention of his contract or his contractual situation for how long,
00:45you know, he's going to be staying at the club for. So we'll need to check that out
00:50with him at the press conference. It was a very similar situation with Paul Hurst. It wasn't
00:53revealed how long that he'd signed for. So we'll have to ask that question. He might not,
00:58he might not say, I mean, Paul Hurst wouldn't say, so we don't know how long Paul Hurst had his,
01:02you know, how long his contract was for. You know, I suppose it all depends on how it goes,
01:06wasn't it? You know, if he does manage to get that positive shift, that shift forwards and get them,
01:11you know, get, I mean, the chairman mentioned it himself, you know, get that feel,
01:15restore the feel good factor to the football club. That is what they're after.
01:19So fingers crossed that, you know, we can get, we can get some of that and,
01:24and then we will have to almost take stock, I suppose, depending on,
01:28you know, the outcome. I mean, you know, even if he will be accepting this job,
01:32knowing that there is a possibility that they're going to be in League Two next season. Now,
01:36don't get me wrong. There is a big chance that they could turn it around, right? Don't get me
01:39wrong. But there is a chance that they could be in League Two next season as well. They're already
01:42quite a long way, you know, adrift. So any kinds of possibility. He's just got to focus now on,
01:49like he mentions himself, you know, being that spark, being that catalyst for Shrewsbury
01:53to get themselves heading in the right direction.
01:56Yeah. And he obviously brings with himself that experience of, of kind of, you know,
02:02building and it feels like there's a bit more, I don't know, stability around this appointment.
02:08Obviously, you know, if you look at stability, probably the last time Salahp have had that
02:13stability was under Steve Cottrell, that ended, you know, the Matt Taylor appointment was very
02:16short, as was kind of the Paul Hurst one, in essence, although, you know, everyone wanted
02:20it to be a bit longer. But this is, you know, I think using that word stability comes from the
02:25fact that it's not the QPR job, but it's like his job before that was, you know, an 11 year stint.
02:31And don't get me wrong. I would not bet that he's going to be Shrewsbury time manager in 11 years.
02:35You know, he joked about that on his interview with the Shrewsbury club media, but it's just
02:40having that, you know, not changing manager as often as they have been and having someone in
02:46place who, you know, if the worst does happen and they're running league one ends, they've
02:50got someone there who's, you know, probably one of the best ones to help them bounce straight back.
02:55Yeah. Yeah. You bang on. I mean, stability is what you need at a football club. You need,
02:59you need your head coach to be there for a sustained period of time. And that's just not
03:03been the case for Town Hall. They had, what, four different managers since the turn of
03:072003, you know, Steve Cottrell, Matt Taylor, Paul Hurst and now Ainsworth. That's too much change.
03:13And then each time, you know, the manager or the head coach will have different ideas on
03:17what they think the players and, you know, they'll like one type of player and they won't like
03:21another and you just keep bouncing from one to the other. You need some kind of stability and
03:26it's stability that, you know, most of the successful sides, it's not very many clubs
03:31that make change frequently and end up being successful. So that's something that's kind of
03:35got to bear in mind and, you know, they've got to, they've got to stick with it for a little while
03:38and give it a chance.
