announced that they had sacked John Trewick with Turner taking the reins on a temporary basis. On 16 April 2010 Turner stated that he and co-chairperson Joan Fennessy would sell their shares in the club, stating that the club needs fresh impetus to take it forward. His subsequent decision to return to Shrewsbury Town seems to have influenced his decision. Return to Shrewsbury Town On 11 June 2010, Turner was announced as the new Shrewsbury Town manager, returning 26 years after he originally left. Turner agreed a three-year-deal as manager, and will have the option of an extra year as director of football. His first season back at Shrewsbury Town was during the 2010–2011 season saw them finish just below automatic promotion in fourth place, this meant that Town had to play a two legged play-off semi final against Torquay United in which they lost 2–0 on aggregate. The following season saw an even greater improvement guiding Shrewsbury Town to a runners-up spot and automatic promotion to League One. The club set a record number of points and for the second time in Turner's career he led Shrewsbury Town unbeaten at home throughout a whole season 33 years after the first achievement. After guiding them to a respectable 16th-place finish in the 2012/13 season, their first 3rd tier appearance in 15 years, Turner was unable to build on this success the following season. On 21 January 2014 Graham Turner resigned as manager of Shrewsbury Town, halfway through the 2013/14 campaign. Shrewsbury were subsequently relegated.
