Confirmed Statement from 'Peter & Craig"

Confirmed Statement from 'Peter & Craig"

Christmas story: At the start of the season the money lady much against her better judgement was persuaded to throw a few quid to invest in new players in our club on the assurance from the Riddler that it would be enough to keep us mid table and out of trouble and on the proviso there would be no more similar requests and the improved revenue from better crowds would reduce the money she had to put in each month. Riddler knocked on her door this week, money lady looks up 'don't even think about it Peter, get out of my office'. Riddler tail between legs, ropes in Craig, the only board member with an ounce of credibility to put out a statement saying to the fans 'please don't shout'. Riddler meanwhile knows the game is up as he starts to scout the football turnaround vacancy lists for someone else to pay his salary for the next five years.

If you're going to back him in a statement you have to back him/the club in January.

But they haven't really backed him. They've done some half way house thing saying they've invested too much to bin him off right now. The fact they've made a statement to begin with speaks volumes. We're now entering a limbo period until he's shitcanned. That's a perfect reason not to spend in Jan.

It just sounds to me that ‘Peter & Craig’ have got themselves in a right mess over this.
They’ve obviously had to work hard on the rest of the Hemmings clan to convince them that Lowe and his brand are worth significant long term investment (by our standards anyway).
Going back to them and asking for more funds to get rid of him is like admitting you’ve dropped a massive bollock….something we know Pedro doesn’t do well.

Correct. No one wants to shown that 2 out of 5 management appointments isn’t good enough 🤣

I actually thought they did in the summer but when you look at it they have and they haven't.

In comparison to the rest of the division we've spent peanuts on some players who haven't been as good as their billing.

Holmes seem to have sort of reverted to what he was like at Huddersfield.

Osmijic and Frokjaer will probably take a season to bed in.

Ramsey has been a shocking signing.

LWB continues to haunt us.

The lack of investment in the defence needs addressing in the next 2 windows.

Absolutely.

Plus, ‘Peter and Craig’ sounds like a dodgy acoustic folk duo, who came second on Opportunity Knocks in 1973.
 
"We are therefore asking you to respect our decision at this stage, to back our judgement and get behind the manager and the team in the fixtures ahead".

I know it's Christmas but that's too much to ask imo.
 
So essentially it comes down to money. I think he’s got the next three games max but he’s should have gone this morning. I would never want us to lose but realistically I reckon a win at home to Wednesday is the best we’ll get. What will be enough?
