Confirmed Statement from 'Peter & Craig"

Confirmed Statement from 'Peter & Craig"

Tugg Speedman said:
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.

I agree and after reading that statement I'm more inclined to think this club needs a whole new outlook. It's just not good enough.

A new outlook you say… how about a return to the glory days?

If you imagine yourself reading this as Ryan Lowe it comes across differently.

It's easy to sack the manager.

Results are unacceptable.

We've spent a lot of money on players.

The squad is capable.

Please back our decision at this stage.

Not exactly a promise of a job for life, is it?

Yes.
And week's a long time in football.
 
Well…part of me isn’t surprised, but I didn’t think they would be that stupid to come up with something as pathetic as that. It further confirms that the ownership is spineless and completely out of touch, with an ‘advisor’ equally as inept and way past his time.

This is only going to go one way, results & performances aren’t going to change and it’s clear it’s all about money.
 
I think this is part of a process and there is what is being said in public and no doubt what is being said in private. I would hope that alongside the statement that Peter has been asked to have some potential replacements lined up for consideration. Additionally I hope that Peter sits down with Lowe and makes it very clear that things have to change, that the best team has to be consistently picked, that we need to go back to what we did in the main in the first half against Watford, and that unless he starts getting positive results his time is limited. How far that conversation goes is up to them, whether it will include his management of fan relationships and his need to get the fan base back on side is to be hoped.
if things continue to go as they have then I am sure the process will continue to play out
 
A Manager who keeps talking about percentages when he should say mistakes is not the man for me.

Talks in riddles. They're must be something in the water at Deepdale. Managers come in, talk about attacking football with a winning mentality.

Within a few months, it's the usual bollocks and they sound like a GCHQ puzzle !

Wise move to keep him on for the Leeds, Sheff Wed & Chelsea games.

Taxi booked for Monday 8th of January me thinks.

Shame really but he's finished.

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 called him a gigantic bell end but i removed that post early this AM when I’d sobered.

We all know Lowe isn't going to turn it around & will get sacked.

They just don't want the cost yet.

I think they believe that the anger is limited to social media... the possible toxicity on Tuesday will be on them.

They are waiting for the FA Cup money to cover some of the costs….. we should pocket about £400k from the Chelsea game so that will help !!!

As I have said on another thread social media is not the issue.

It should be used by the club as an asset, like most other successful businesses in most industries.

I think you are right. Isn't the bit in bold mental though? Like, that's not even PR's job to say that.

I've had my say and if I'm honest, I probably was too harsh. I stick by calling him a gobshite though! As for Ridsdale, I won't take anything back I've said against him - complete twat, plain and simple.
 
Basically, all this vote of confidence in the Management Team is to keep the heat off Ridsdale for another week or two. We all know there’s no way back for RL.
It also pangs of Ridsdale making the statement and Craig going along with it. The club absolutely stinks and a lot of people know the reason why.

That is also fair , it could well be toxic especially if we lose , but i firmly believe this is the end for Lowe regardless.

His successor IMO will have already been decided , it’s all about the timing.

It’s a shame , i really wanted him to succeed!

You're giving the clubs board way, way too much credit. They won't have a clue who to appoint next.
