Confirmed Statement from 'Peter & Craig"

To stick with the car analogy’s.

We’re asking Lowe to play like we’re driving a Porsche or Jaguar whilst giving him parts like Storey, Hughes, Brady and Ledson which could only be compared to the car version of British leyland.

No quality just a that’ll do attitude.

I think you will find we are only asking him to turn on the engine and get into gear, but he refuses to release the handbrake and when he does , it's in reverse!!!!! done with the car analogies now, honest

I think people sometimes think the game of football is very easy and it's easy to say that sitting in the stands with no experience of doing it.

I’ll leave the opinion of how easy football is to one who has done a damn sight more than sit in the stands Ron.

If that were still true, thickos like Lowe would have no trouble.

Ron decried those in the stands who think the game is easy, “with no experience of doing it.”

Just thought I’d let someone who has vast experience of “doing it” back up their view.

Assuming proof of football being easy is accepted, your point Lowe’s intelligence can be questioned on current & recent experience is sadly valid.

If football was as simple as the people wheeling that particular quote make out, the footballing dinosaurs would still be at the top of the game. They're not.

I don’t rate Lowe, his demeanour or pre-match press conferences, however, I do believe the board are right to give him a little more time.

Whether it was pretty or not Lowe proved earlier in the season he can win games at this level (deservedly so or not) so he has probably earnt one last run of games to turn it around…

The board, like the fans, will know it is unlikely Lowe will turn this around so it will be a matter of when and not if Lowe is sacked. We won’t be relegated this season (another exciting mid-table finish) so from the outside the board are showing they will support a manager until it is absolute necessary.

Personally, I think Lowe’s recruitment has been very good and our squad is much better now than when he arrived. He has been backed (for a PNE manager at least) but lacks any tactical nous at this level. When it is going well he comes across as energetic and positive but when losing he is arrogant and bullish - he needs to find some middle ground.

I think if we get a drubbing on boxing day and a poor showing against Sheff Wed he will be gone.. if we manage to pull off a couple of shock results it will just prolong the inevitable.

Not sure who I would go for as next manager but someone with experience at this level could get this group moving upwards again

Yes I agree very much with a lot of what’s said eg Lowe tactically poor-spouts like an energetic second hand car salesman when results good. —recruitment good-next manager Championship experience.The only thing I would add about the early results that sent us top is that I did think there was a certain amount of luck involved in at least a couple of wins.I did think Birmingham played better than us for example.

Shankly,Busby,Ramsey, Paisley,Nicholson,Stein would all be great managers now as they were then,just as Mathews,Finney,Best,Charlton,,Law would also be great as they were then, they would all adapt to the modern game , they all were and still would be greats .👍😀

Agreed.

I find it strange that all clubs don’t have a clause (like) if the team loses x amount of games, or x games in a row, etc. the termination cost of the manager is reduced by X percentage for incompetence.

Because they have reciprocity clauses in their contracts, the manager has an increased value if he does a good job and other clubs become interested. Therefore you have to provide an equal or equivalent allowance should things go the other way.

Just don't allow the manager to also appoint the recruitment team and dictate the structure of the playing side of the club. You end up with what we have now, which is the nodding approval of complacent yes men.

Ok I’ll bite how is it worth £800k ? 45% of gate receipts is what we get - minus costs. Tv money well not much I imagine it’s on iplayer ?

Chelsea will turnover well over £2m per home fixture. Hate receipts aren’t just compromised of standard tickets, hospitality is also a part of the calculation. Chelsea and many other clubs manipulate FFP in many ways, one of which is to ‘sell’ corporate packages to related parties at hugely overinflated prices. We benefit from that in this particular instance.
