Neil said the exact same thing when he was appointed. ‘Happy with the squad, not bothered if we don’t sign anyone’ and that soon became ‘I hate transfer windows’ and ‘this squad is shit.’ Neil also started with the same attitude - attacking pressing football. Then maguire got injured and hugil left and that pretty much stopped.
For anyone who doesn’t realise who the main problem is I’ve just been emailing good old Peter ridsdale this week. His response was summed up as there was no money in the budget to bring in any more players in, there have been plenty of successes in terms of signings at deepdale, he ignored the bit about why there wasn’t a fans forum and what our plan was, and he said if I was to criticise I need to get my facts right. This isn’t Fifa 23.
Now what I can imagine happening (if we lose on Saturday) fans will shout ‘we want Lowe out!’ And the players will get booed. Then Lowe will probably get sacked bring a new manager in. No one will dare speak up about the owner or Peter. 12/24 months later the same thing will happen just in league one. And fans wonder why we have been mediocre for the last 10/15 years.
Believe me, Peter Ridsdale believes he has been a success here. He is that arrogant.
