Think there was no chance anyway.
Now Gerrard is gone, I think anything is on the cards except him coming back here given the relationship between RL and SG.

With the wording of Archer's situation being something along the lines of "he'll stay and then we'll re-evaluate in January", I was hopeful that it could have still happened.

After all, we were told we'd match any Championship offer by a man who has never lied to us.
 
Lowe-ering expectations is now official policy, and here's Lowe talking about the action plan for January:

RL: "I think I said ages ago that you cannot spend what you haven't got. I don't kick no doors down. If one or two players come to see me in January and want game time, no problem, we will replace them. We'll hopefully freshen things up in January and go from there."

So, "cash neutral" and one-out-one-in is still the order of the day - "if we give ourselves a chance and are not too far away come January, then players will hopefully want to come and play for Preston North End."

Easy to plan for January when you plan on not doing much.
 
Someone needs to tell RL that if he wants some money to spend in January, he needs to get us into the bottom three asap. That seems to be the only time this hierarchy are likely to invest in the playing side of things.
That is sad but I believe it to be true. Whatever the reasons are that the Hemmings Family own this football club, it seems to suit their purpose if we remain a comfortable Championship Club.

That applied to TH, but does it apply to this beancounting committee?
 
Archer came in last January when promotion wasn't a realistic possibility.

Of course his only other loan the previous year was in non league so that must've been one of best loan signings in championship for ages.

Hopefully Morecambe can afford Ched and then you have to get another forward in.
 
I think that it is likely that people from Grovemoor are making the decisions now and they are not football fans never mind PNE fans.

Don’t know what Trev put in his will with regards PNE, if it would affect a sale etc, PNE are probably on shaky grounds at the moment.

Grim for the hierarchy to be getting ahead of January so soon with the bad news.
 
I could see DJ going before Ched & Olosunde as he's actually good. Bauer if he's fit by January? Or a L1 loan for Diaby?
 
Lowe wouldn't sign knobheads, which could be Christie or even Norton Cuffey, but he did have Ethan Laird right there with pen in hand before Laird opted last minute for QPR, then all of a sudden, the resources tied up in the potential of that deal have vanished?
I heard something different on the Laird deal.
