Turner Pleased Shrewsbury Are Staying In League

 

Former Hereford United manager Graham Turner has expressed his pleasure that Shrewsbury Town will play in League Two again next season.

Turner who had two spells in charge at Shrewsury has also spoken about their manager Gavin Cowan.

"I know there's a lot of people there who work very hard to maintain the club and even help it prosper - for the sake of the hardcore supporters and those working tirelessly behind the scenes - and I'm pleased for those people," said Turner as reported in the Shropshire Star.

"It's a massive, big thing - a big part of their lives and it's nice to see the club achieve safety now.

"It's a great achievement and the manager deserves the credit.

"He's done an excellent job there. Survival was the important thing and that's what he's achieved and I am delighted with that.

"I think all of the supporters will be, and he played a big part in that, the manager, and good luck to him.

"The off the field staff, the manager, the assistant manager, even the physio, they've got to generate that team spirit and get it all across to the players, and what they're playing for.

“It's that team spirit that they can bring to the club, and you need people working hard for each other. I'm sure they've achieved that in the time they've been there."
