The Ryan Lowe Thread!

The Ryan Lowe Thread!

I think that’s because people realise that the next appointment will be as dull as an afternoon in Burnley. Club is only interested in pootling along and avoiding relegation.

The old Schrödinger scenario eh. Stick with the shite we have because the next appointment might also turn out to be shite. Might also turn out to be a genius, but the only fact is we will never know until it happens!
 
I genuinely cant think of many other, if any, championship clubs allowing a run of 4 wins in 19 games. We have allowed Lowe to dine out on a very good, points wise, start to the season ever since and as sky pointed out before KO today, over the last 18 games (nearly half a season) only 2 teams have amassed fewer points. Lowe seems incapable of turning things around despite the eventual change in formation. One clean sheet in 21 matches is abysmal, add to that we are 23rd in league for chances created (another Sky stat) and its a recipe for disaster.

Lowe was close to the door previously and even more recently eyes were on him again. I wonder if those eyes have now seen enough - i for one hope so for the clubs sake.

I never want a manager to fail but unfortunately it seems like Lowe is simply out of his depth here
 
were the one and only said:
Sack him on the car park tonight, when they get back. Club make the announcement tomorrow - managerless at Chelsea next week with Ainsworth appointed the following week because Peter saw him make a good/positive comment about Lowe during Sunderland post match analysis!

Something along those lines. But I think it’s fair to say neither Rowett or Jones will be a genius and that’s as far as Peter’s expertise/effort and the budget will stretch.

if the rumours of new signings is true, I think it’s fairly obvious Ryan will be here till February personally.

Why would the club chuck even more cash at the playing squad if there’s a sizeable payout for the manager on the horizon?

He doesn't seem that involved in the picks though.

It's typical PNE this shit though. They effectively operate the Head Coach/Separate recruitment team model and then fail to do the most important bit of that system: ruthlessly fire underperforming head coaches and replace them in an effort to get the bounce.

complete disregard for the fans

I’ve supported Lowe longer than most but I’ll be on the bloody pitch if he puts a stupid team out at Chelsea after I’ve paid the equivalent of a winter break to Spain to attend with all the kids. Bringing Cross-Adair on against Spurs saw me walk out so if you see a slightly overweight bald guy heading across the Stamford Bridge turf towards the bench next Saturday night you’ll know who it is.

I’ve tried to defend Lowe on here.

I still want him to turn it around.

But if he is genuinely just going to throw the Chelsea game and play the reserves despite all the effort and cost made by the fans, it’ll be genuinely unforgivable.

Let's get behind the lads on the pitch whilst making absolutely sure everyone watching knows our thoughts about Lowey and his total inability to be in charge of a professional football team ...... someone put together a short, easy chant...... I will start off with a rather poor one

He's out of his depth
He's out of his depth
Poor Ryan Lowe, he's out of his depth

I posted similar on the MDT….

6,000 fans making a 440 mile round trip , a lot staying over and spending a lot of money to cheer the team on and he doesn’t give a shit about the game…..

He can F right off now for me !!

Obviously we have little chance but Bradford won there at this stage not so long ago. If 6000 of us are traipsing there to watch Dai fish the ball out of the net 10 times then it will get very ugly. I fear that Lowe is going to use the game to get his pay off.

I hope so, but I have a horrible feeling we aren’t even in the end game here.
 
I will be furious if we do not treat this as a must win one off cup tie ,putting out our best available team. The Senior management of the club must spell that out to the Manager and his team. To go and not lay a glove on Chelsea will be the ultimate insult to all those hard working good folk who spend money and valuable time following Preston North End all over the Country and beyond. A serious divide between Club and supporters could result if fans feel that a lack of positive intent has been given to this fixture and they feel short changed,.

Up to this point, I think you could have given him the benefit of the doubt and called him tone-deaf with the deluded "brand" and "badges" comments.

There's no questioning now that he's just outright disrespectful.

We'll be driving from just outside Preston to Watford-ish and back. 3 hotel rooms for a night. Travelling around on the tube for 3. 3 tickets for the game. Food and drink for 3 wherever we end up. Fuck knows how much it's going to come to in total.

The money's only half of it though. The other half is that it's a day out in the big smoke, watching North End with my brother and my dad. I don't think any of us have ever been to one of the "big 6" to watch North End before - my brother and I certainly haven't - let alone one that's spent £1 billion on players in the last 12 months or so. To be completely blunt, we don't know when or even if some of us are going to get the chance to go to this kind of away day again.

If Lowe had said something along the lines of "you know what, we're probably going to take a bit of a beating but we're going to go there, enjoy it, give it everything we've got, try to give the fans a good day out and see where it takes us" then I would have had to say fair play to him - that's the attitude I think the overwhelming majority of those who are going will be taking into it, myself included.

The cunt shouldn't even be managing us and he literally couldn't be arsed that he'll be there with us all.

You fucking chancer. Piss off.
