Town's Matt Williams turns down two clubs

The Greenhous Meadow supremo, who has been widely praised for helping turn Salop's fortunes around, was heavily linked with a return to former club Blackpool on Tuesday.

With the Tangerines in turmoil, ex-manager Ian Holloway revealed he would consider returning to Bloomfield Road.

He added that's only if the club's structure changed and Mr Williams also returned, as well as his former assistant manager Steve Thompson.

Speaking about a potential return, Holloway said: "I want to be proud of what I do and at the moment I don't feel proud of what has happened up there.

"What we managed to do there – and there were only four of us in me, Matt Williams, Steve Thompson and Phil Horner my physio – was to get the energy of the town behind us.

"If you don't get that energy, you're in trouble. To see the club where it is now is horrible."

However, Mr Williams today moved to distance himself from a Greenhous Meadow departure.

He said: "I don't pay any attention to speculation. I feel like a footballer here. it's nice to be linked with other clubs because if I'm not being linked then I'm not doing a very good job.

"Since we won promotion, I have been approached by three teams in the North-West but I am more than happy at Shrewsbury.

"When Micky Mellon arrived as manager, he described the club as a great project and I completely agree.

"When I do leave Shrewsbury I want to make sure I have made a difference, whether that's next week, next month or in 10 years time."
