5 Football League managers whose jobs are under threat

#4 John Askey- Shrewsbury Town

York City v Macclesfield Town - The Buildbase FA Trophy Final
John Askey is not winning the fans over at Shrewsbury Town

While Shrewsbury Town fans were not expecting their team to replicate the success of last season's third-place finish, they would have been hoping for a better start than 1 win in their opening 11 games this season.

The club lost their manager, Paul Hurst to Ipswich in pre-season, and with him, several of their best players.

Only Omar Beckles and Shaun Whalley remain in the Shrewsbury line-up from their 2-1 Wembley defeat at the hands of Rotherham United, and it looks as though the new boys at the club are struggling to settle in.

The team defeated Southend United 1-0 a couple of weeks ago to ease the pressure on the manager, John Askey but the former Macclesfield man has come under criticism from fans for his uninspiring football and his inability to connect with the fanbase.

That being said, Shrewsbury chairman, Roland Wycherley has been notoriously patient with managers in recent years and there is every chance that he will allow pride to come before a fall and keep Askey at the club until the end of the season.
