Is Lowe evolving?

Is Lowe evolving?

I asked Sky Bet if they could add Lowe to the next manager at Rangers market. They've put him in at 4/1. Was hoping for at least 16/1 to make it worth a tenner.

Those odds will be based purely on the article being published, won’t they. I would be surprised if Lowe got the Rangers job and their fans would be fewmin’ if he did. They’ll be expecting some massive name.

There’s been a lot written in the media about us and Lowe recently after the good start. As a manager you move when your stock is high and at the moment, Lowe’s is up there. If by some miracle he keeps us top 10 by Christmas he’ll get linked with jobs. It’s the nature of the beast. If Rangers did want to talk to him, he would absolutely go imo.
 
Happy for him to stick around but part of me wouldnt be too disappointed if he jumped ship now. Yes he's done well so far this season after a pretty dire last season. I just get this niggling feeling that we have massively overachieved so far, winning without ever actually playing that well and massively riding our luck in a lot of those wins. To me there is always a West Brom type performance waiting to happen, but I dont know if that is just the ingrained pessimism of being a North End fan or a lack of trust in RLs tactical ability. I havent yet had the feeling with RL that we are 'on to something' like we had with Moyes, Davies and to an extent for a brief time when AN first arrived. I suppose in a way this next month will be a yardstick of where we are at under RL, probably the most difficult month of his tenure so far.

That's a journalist taking a punt on a Championship manager who's doing well at the moment. Can't see it myself.

Rangers need a proven manager at this point in time. I think I read somewhere that they've only had 18 managers in their history, but 3 of them have been in the last 2 years.

Even though he had pretty no managerial experience Beale was seen as the brains behind Gerrards success. How that looks now is open to debate.

I'd say he was a very good coach but maybe not a good manager.

His real problem at Rangers has been recruitment. All of his big summer signings (apart from Butland who has been outstanding) has contributed little or nothing.

Define proven ?

Two promotions at two different clubs and took the third to the top of the league, all with a small budget ?

Proven as in done it at the level of a club like Rangers. Not someone who is seen as "a punt."
So in that respect I'd say a promotion from League 2 does mean you qualify for a top job in the SPL 🤣

Sums up my feelings exactly.

Fair assessment
 
Wouldnt be too disappointed but i just dont see it happening with all the transfer recruitment we have done this summer, he has brought in players he wanted and now he could just walk away and manage Rangers which is a good opportunity but doesnt make sense for Lowe.

If he does go - Bring in Nathan Jones?

Probably who we would go for if Lowe were to leave.

I have a mate who's a Luton fan who says he's good if you get him what he needs, but he also points out that he's never succeeded anywhere but Luton. Also lost a bit of love from their fans when he left for Stoke and then for Southampton.

I’ve got a mate who is a Stoke fan. The guy is nuts. Gave him millions as well to bring in his own players then complained that they couldn’t do what he wanted. Avoid at all costs
