Shrewsbury Town boss Gareth Ainsworth met the media for the first time at the Croud Meadow on Thursday afternoon.
The 51-year-old was appointed as Paul Hurst's successor with Salop rooted to the bottom of the League One table.
"It's not about them giving me a long contract. It's me saying I need to be here for this amount of time for you to see the best of me. I think time is important for football managers. "I've done the hard yards down there. It's a tough division, as always. I intend to keep this team in League One. "It would not be right for me to speak about the past. I wasn't here. It has nothing to do with me. Sometimes football management goes wrong, believe me. It's gone wrong for me.
