Are you still following our takeover, Alan, after your earlier story about a second American buyer being interested? Noise here is that the deal is close to completion.

Good source here, suggesting we really are signing Vadaine Oliver. Could be a busy day tomorrow... #Salop

Northampton winning tonight means that we are now nine points from safety - effectively 10 when goal difference is taken into account.

This potty season may not yet be half over, but it feels like we already need snookers... #Salop

The rollercoaster of football emotions is a dizzy, stomach-churning horror ride at times.

Two weeks ago we were all on Cloud 9 after bashing Brum so unexpectedly. Now, after an instant nosedive into mediocrity and worse for two games, reality has truly bitten.

Who'd be a football fan?! #Salop

Shamelessly stolen from Ryan Jervis on X. A man of many talents - not just our smooth-tongued stadium announcer but also, it seems, an ace photographer too.

Is there a pot of (American) gold at the end of that rainbow...? #Salop šŸ”·šŸ”¶

Surprised at the people saying this is okay or no big deal.

Why do we accept lower standards from football fans? If these were filmgoers getting excited about the next X-Man film or whatever, there would be plenty said.

Just behave. How hard is it, really?!

A fun way to round off a cracking weekend - one where Ainsworth talked the talk... and his team then walked the walk! #Salop

They have in previous games. It was clearly having issues yesterday - it didn't come on at all until half time, did it?

This clip should ideally have started a few seconds sooner, to also include that stunning long ball from Alex Gilliead. Absolutely magnificent.

That feeling when you've just won 3-2 against the richest team in the history of League 1! Amazing reaction to Ainsworth coming in. Fantastic performance. #Salop

Exciting times for @shrewsburytown.com. I hope this potential buyer has deep pockets and is fully committed to the club. If so, then getting that deal done successfully is far more important to me than retaining our League 1 status (though I'm greedy, so want that too šŸ˜†). #Salop

It was the Bristol Street Motors Trophy until literally today. This must be an extremely rare example of a competition changing its name *in the middle of an active edition*

Football Daily - 72+: The EFL Podcast - BBC Sounds Why did Gareth Ainsworth join Shrewsbury? Is Frank Lampard a good fit for Coventry?

Great interview from Gareth Ainsworth on here. Listening to him talk about our potential takeover in the way he does, it's hard not to get too excited... #Salop

It's genuine. I'm guessing they've registered to ensure they have the handle, but aren't planning to use it as a regular channel just yet. There are only so many places a media/comms team can manage - it's resource and time intensive.

He may score more under Ainsworth, if he can get us creating more. I can see him liking Lloyd. I also think Bloxham could be ready to step up.

My son loves Harry Potter almost as much as @shrewsburytown.bsky.social. His reaction to our new boss... "I wasn't expecting Rufus Scrimgeour to be our manager!"

Well let's just hope he's magic for us. #Salop

Nice to know that Blue Sky is another social media app where I can discover the weather without even looking outside. Did anyone happen to know it is snowing?!

Got my football fix this weekend helping to coach Baschurch U10s to a fine victory against Shrewsbury Juniors. Proud to see my lad named player of the match for a solid two quarters in goal and an excellent quarter going box to box in midfield 🌟

It can close up with a couple of wins. Big games with Blackpool and Cambridge in the not-too-distant future.
