It's obviously a little disappointing if we've done anything nefarious, but there's no mention of whether Hurst's rolling contract had been renewed for next season... if it hadn't, surely he was well within his rights to speak to whomsoever he wishes?
Also, wouldn't that make the need for a 'compensation package' basically non-existent?
Feels like a little bit of saving face going on there to me. Fans aren't going to be thrilled if he's gone for nothing and there's nothing the club can do about it, so blame Ipswich. That's the danger of rolling contracts, right?
I notice it went from "illegal approach" at the beginning of the piece, to "potentially illegal approach" at the end. |  |

The Ross situation caused us to make an approach last week. Evans obviously couldn't gamble on Hurst willingness and needed guarantees. It’s unfortunate that Hurst had to put up a show after the game and leaves Shrewsbury a little damaged but can’t see how we could have handled it any other way. |  |

It’s a rolling contract, it doesn’t get renewed, so we have to compensate Shrewsbury for the 12 months remaining |  | | |

Oh, apologies. My (limited) knowledge of such things suggested that both parties still have to agree to the rollover ahead of the expiration date of the contract.
Surely you can't just force someone's contract to roll for another year, otherwise he'd never technically be out of contract? | |

You’ve hit the nail on the head. That’s the whole point of a rolling contract, there’s always 12 months to run, which offers protection for both parties - the club get compensated if he leaves and the manger gets paid for 12 months if he’s sacked | | | |

Sounds moderately sensible.
I see Stuart Watson has spoken to the club and they're preparing a retort to the 'illegal approach' claim. Could be interesting. | |

To be fair, we've been reporting that Town have had a very strong indication that Hurst would be up for coming here for some while before that. And I know Shrewsbury were well aware of our interest, even if they seem to have been somewhat less in the loop than I thought was the case. |  | | |

Sounds to me that talks have been going on with his agent for a couple of weeks before permission was given to talk to Hurst but that's football.
Listening to their chairman can see why he's disappointed that it all happened so quickly after the game |  | | |

I bet they were in the loop. Just couldn't say anything because of the play off final. [Post edited 29 May 2018 12:10]

I think it goes back longer than that as I'd heard we'd left things alone during the play-offs. Agree, I think disappointment at the speed of developments is probably his main irk, as well as not hearing from us directly before the agent called him up. | | | |

I've been waiting for their response since I put the quotes up this morning. I gather it's not going to be anything too detailed or combative, just a line or so. | | | |
