Shenton’s gone : Fri Oct 27, 2023 4:16 pm  

Disappointing to hear that Shenton has left the club to be Powells assistant at Wakefield as along with Pete Riding he’s been a great asset to the club. Full story here

Big loss. But can't blame him. Might be back as first team coach sometime

Doesnt sound like a lot the club could do, an assistant job close to home and it seems likely Wakefield will be franchised back into SL in a years time

Shame to lose Shenton as he seemed a good asset. No panic reading the statement from the club with a replacement to be announced soon.

Agree don’t think the club could have gone a lot to keep him as seems Wakefield’s new owner is making a fair investment in the team side of things. Wonder what’s happened to Ryan Sheridan as him and Powell seemed joined at the hip.

Shenton no doubt will be a big loss with the strides he made at the club so will be interesting to see who the club appoint as his replacement.

Pretty bad news. Obviously we don't know how much of the improvement was down to him vs Pete Riding but never heard anything but good things about him.

Recon it will be Applegarth, who had a good reputation with Wakey Academy

Good shout!

I put Powell wanted Shenton at Wakefield on here a few weeks back so I guess the club have known for a little while that he was off so the search for his replacement will have already started . Big loss as others have already mentioned .

Just had a message. Could be something in this.
