Think there was no chance anyway.At which point any slim chance we had of getting Archer back is well and truly gone.

Stevie G sacked, confirmed https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62775410
I'm hopeful that this is when Archer will start to get a look in for them - caretaker managers seem to play younger lads more often. Once he's in, I wouldn't put it past Cameron staying in if he plays as well as he did for us.

Now Gerrard is gone, I think anything is on the cards except him coming back here given the relationship between RL and SG.Think there was no chance anyway.
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.
Have to feel for Archer. Has done everything right and still doesn't get a look in, except the odd 10 mins here and there. Bet he's not too disappointed Stevie's out.

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."

The desperate hope that someone will want Olusunde or Ched I guess.

Easy to plan for January when you plan on not doing much.

Edited for accuracy.Easy to plan for January when you plan on doing FA.
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.

But will they be replaced if they go?The desperate hope that someone will want Olusunde or Ched I guess.

That applied to TH, but does it apply to this beancounting committee?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.

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.

We don’t know at this stage…….but like father like son is the saying that springs to mind.That applied to TH, but does it apply to this beancounting committee?
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.Lowe-ering expectations is now official policy, and here's Lowe talking about the action plan for January:

I heard something different on the Laird deal.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?
Fair enough - I’ve no intel to suggest anything one way or the other, was just basing that off the consensus opinion at the timeI heard something different on the Laird deal.
