No pressure on new Shifnal Town boss
New Shifnal Town manager Connor Patterson is ‘under no pressure to win the league’, according to chairman Mike Tranter.
Patterson is the man who will lead Shifnal into the new campaign following the departure of Jamie Haynes after a disappointing end to last season saw them slide to eighth in the Midland Premier.
Patterson has already secured the signing of Joe Cuff from Shawbury United – and Tranter is pleased to have got his new manager on board.
Tranter said: “He understands how we as a club wish to progress and I am sure he will give it his all.
“I have stated to him he is under no pressure to win the league only to progress the team and play football as we see it.”
Shifnal were in the hunt for promotion for a long time, but won just four of their last 14 games – losing their last three – as they tumbled out of contention.
