Confirmed Statement from 'Peter & Craig"

[Michael]

I think if you read between the lines, they are giving him the Xmas period ….

The next to last paragraph contains the words “ at this stage…. “

He will be gone after the Sunderland game

The damage could be done by then. If we fall to within 6 points of the drop zone by the end of the Sunderland game we'll be one of the favourites for the drop.

It's safe to say based on performances that Woodman and Whiteman aren't happy here. Mads won't stick around to sit on the bench. If our better players aren't turning up, last night showed our fringe players are good enough to pick up the slack.

I'm genuinely worried for our championship status with these two clowns (Lowe and Ridsdale) running the show.

Obviously with me only having a scouts badge for knot tying and semaphore i can't really comment, but this 'backing' is going to look fucking stupid if we get a shafting by Leeds at home on Boxing Day.

I read it exactly the same way. Results unacceptable, the squad is capable of getting back to winning ways {with good management}. I'd say lose the next 2, and he won't see the Sunderland game. Please!

 

[northend nevets]

Now you be good little drones and keep paying your money whilst we sit here and do fuck all.

After all we're still in the top half and early season results blah blah blah

Not shocked at all by the statement. It's about as lazy as the re-signing of Robbie Brady.

 

[Kurt_Nogan]

I’ve got to be honest though, I really haven’t seen any ‘abuse’.

All I’ve seen on twitter is statements like ‘sack the fraud’ and people going on about coaching badges (something he said!)

If he can’t hack that, and is complaining then maybe he is in the wrong line of work.

I was thinking it was more than likely the memes being posted rather than actual abuse as haven't seen any either. This is the problem now is that it doesn't matter what the content is, the only thing that matters is if the person recieving a message deems it offensive or not, regardless of what has been posted.

Am i the only one that sees the statement as very positive , they have acknowledged the fans and not ignored them (for once), the dreaded VOC never has a happy ending (well it might for us).

Ryan Lowe is a dead man walking , it’s very clearly only a matter of time , but two days before Christmas is not that time …

Beat by Leeds and he’ll be gone in my view , let’s be honest there is absolutely no value in sacking him now, with the way Leeds are playing today even Pep would struggle to get a result with our squad.

Just a different perspective!

Completely fair outlook on things Robert.

In my opinion however, i see it being a very poor mistake to allow him to take charge of the game against Leeds, fans will be booing him and giving him abuse as they do when things go like this. He has already insulted the fans once and i can just feel a very toxic atmosphere building throughout the 90 minutes.

Club Statement: A Message From Craig And Peter

In tough times the club management is paid to take tough decisions, not easy decisions.

www.pnefc.net

When I saw club statement I thought he’d gone, it felt Like scoring a goal, only for it to be flagged offside.

 

[northender2]

It could be a very uncomfortable afternoon for Lowe and the board if we get battered on Tuesday, despite the vote of confidence, ultimately, it’s the fans who will get I sacked eventually, it’s just a matter of making the owners know how unhappy we are which I’m sure they’ll know by full time on Tuesday

 

[OB1]

His tenure will end up like Westley. With fans walking away from the club and not coming back for a long time

 

[By Tor]

Christ...meet the old boss same as the new boss ✋️

 

[Tugg Speedman]

Hmm. Is that the dreaded vote of confidence?

The easy decision is to keep him on, because it would be expensive to sack him and would take a big effort to find a decent replacement.

Will repear what I said last week - I don't trust them to run the club (our club).and I don't think they're capable of appointing the right manager next.

We need to decide as a club, what our identity is, what type of football do we want to play and go from there.

The way our club is currently run, structured, budgeted etc. the future for PNE as a club does not look good

What a sad situation.

 

[Wisemen say]

So all comes down to money and a total disregard to the views of "their biggest asset."

Sorry but you have totally misjudged this situation.

I will always back the team but this leaves me feeling very disheartened.

If Leeds score an early goal on Boxing Day, I think CH might realise how badly he has misjudged The situation.🤔

 

[TF1]

Well that’s the season sacrificed then, great job Peter and Craig

 

[superseed]

No comment on performances at all.

Fair enough JK, wishful thinking on my part....lm saying performances certainly haven't been acceptable either.

 

[keasden]

Absolute cop out and the most worrying aspect for me is that it’s from Hemmings AND Ridsdale. That suggests even when they get rid of Lowe, and they 100% will in the next few weeks, the Riddler is going nowhere. Just like pne will be while he is still here.

 

[Warton PNE]

I wish they’d stop banging on about the fluke run of results at the start of the season too.

I know a lot don’t like xG, but in 4 of our 6 wins, we didn’t hit over 0.68. That is really, really poor and just shows how our finishing was not sustainable at all.

The results, based on those underlying numbers are now showing and we are absolutely terrible to watch.

Winning a few games over THREE MONTHS ago, should not be a reason to keep a manager on.

The club is a mess from top to bottom and this is only going one way. It’s going to be a toxic mess after a battering by Leeds.

 

[Mashimbo]

Craig, Peter - we suggest you read the room..

 

[TheWarehouse]

This is the dreaded “Vote Of Confidence” or as I like to call it the “Vote Of Dead Man Walking”

 

[york white]

Told you. Revitt said no.

 

[JK]

This stinks of when Peter convinced Trevor Hemmings to persist with 'his man' Westley.
