Confirmed Statement from 'Peter & Craig"

The only thing wrong with that Sid is Ridsdale should have nothing to do with the next recruitment.

Being fair, I find it difficult to give Ridsdale any stick for appointing Lowe.

He was a young, ambitious up and coming manager and a big personality with a successful career to date. It’s the kind of appointment where you could be forgiven for thinking it would be a shrewd move to snap him up before another Championship club does and he becomes out of our reach.

Recruitment isn’t an exact science and often people don’t turn out the success you wanted them to be. That’s life.

What I will give Ridsdale stick for, is if he persists with Ryan Lowe at the helm in spite of all the obvious issues and does nothing to rectify the situation.

Of course the answer to this Sid, is of course we can afford it but does Craig went to spend more of the families money ?

The cup money might help.....

If Craig has to look at the cost of Eustace or Mowbray then he can't afford either.

I find it difficult to believe that RL wouldn’t come over as arrogant and full of himself in an interview. It would certainly have been enough to put me off. It was always going to be a gamble, which got to be an even bigger when Schumacher was no longer a part of the package.
 
Lost the fans…

Lost the dressing room….

Has the “confidence” of the board due to £££

I suppose we will see where the power truly lies over the next few days. Fans, players or board… though its likely to be unpleasant for everyone at Deepdale on Tuesday, unless by some miracle we play well and win

Maybe, maybe not. He can turn the charm on too.

But there have been plenty of arrogant managers who have been successful - Brian Clough is an obvious example. The arrogance becomes much more of a problem when they stop being successful.

To be absolutely fair, well it is Christmas...

If they actually believe that ryan lowe is the right manager of the football team for the long-term future of preston north end then good on them for having the balls to to say it.

But we all suspect that this is likely more a financial decision, because they have pampered lowey to fuck and allowed his gang to infiltrate every grubby corner of our football management side of the club, then we all have to take their medicine.

I've wanted rid of him for years, in a minority, so if the club now actually think this is the best for us then OK cha, let's see what you've all got.

Don’t usually agree with you Cali.

But that is bang on, if you think he is the man, back him and back him well.

Really good point that also says a lot about Ridsdale himself (doubt CH had too much input into that statement).

A purely financial decision with a total disregard for the views of the vast majority of North End fans & not just a few on social media as implied.

It is delaying the inevitable & creating conflict between themselves & the fans.

Lowe has lost the fan base, Peter and by default Craig may too.
 
The recent results have shown to me that there’s a lot of players at the club who are simply not good enough for a sustained push at the top 6.

Some are good enough if in form, Browne, Lindsay, Woodman, Millar, Potts, Riis etc with the possibility of McCann, Keane, Whatmough and Holmes.

Others are just not up to the level either due to capability or availability, such as Hughes, Storey, Brady, Woodburn, Ledson, Evans, Ramsey, Bauer, Cunningham etc, possibly add Whiteman to that.

Frokjaer and Osmijic time will tell.

Those comments by Lowe only offended the egotistical and pathetic.

Simple as.

You are the modern day version of WIBG.

Cant take anything you say seriously anymore after all the patronising bollocks you have posted this week.

Will you also make use of the multi quote function instead of replying to every single post.

Thanks.
