He talks in absolute mirages. Try to touch one of his facts and you’ll put your hand right through it.

What on Earth do you mean???

"The fact is that I am backed totally by Craig and Peter, one hundred per cent. I have been backed since I walked through the door - it is not about that. It's about ambition. And I've got an ambition and a drive. I want to take the club and fans on a journey"

"It's progress but I don't want progress, I want to be fighting for the play-offs every single year and getting out of the division. That's what I want to do”

"I don't want players coming to Preston North End just to be 'Oh I'm a Preston North End player, we'll finish mid-table every year'. No, that's not going to be the case, so I want players who are going to be fighters, who've got ambition to go to the next level and I want players who are leaders - but ultimately quality players as well"

We want to excite these fans again, we want to get them through the turnstiles. We want an exciting brand of football, which we will"

“We will recruit stronger and that’s down to me, to get players who can compete with each other. We have got a good, core group of players. Some will move on and some will stay, but I think we need to go that one step further next season - and add one or two more seniors and leaders, who can help the group when you do go through bad spells"

My thinking was: “Why can’t a Ryan Lowe team play like Manchester City, Liverpool or Barcelona?” "I knew I wanted to be a manager at some point. I just wasn’t sure how I’d get there" I wanted to bring a style of football to League Two that had never been seen there before. I wanted the fans, who spent their hard-earned money to come and watch us play, to see eye-catching football"

"We were even more attacking than we’d been at Bury or Plymouth, going with a much more attack-minded 3-5-2 than at either of my previous clubs. I told the players the shackles were off, and I wanted them to be an attacking team. As the weeks went on, all of our attacking numbers went up: crosses, penalty-area entries, expected goals, shots. You could see we were getting better"

“I attack with six and defend with four and a goalkeeper. I really go all gung-ho at times, just making sure we try to keep the back door locked down. “Maybe one or two players have had the shackles on and don’t want to run forward just in case they leave a man.

how is that wallem doing?,

Absolutely fucked his Slavia career by effectively going on strike over a move here.

His agent will be working overtime to get him a move to Stoke or Sunderland in January.

Battling for the play offs, says it all…..
 
Can't this be amalgamated into the ongoing R. L. thread, please, Mods ?
( even though it's going to come to a 2nd & hopefully grinding-halt & hopefully final time🤞)

( I dunno what Hecky was doing between May & August) - but I'm glad he wasn't looking for a job.
And of course P.R. wasn't looking out for a new manager.
So that's turned out better than I expected .
Hecky. Better late than never

As has been said before, it happens to most of our managers eventually - and unless he's backed it will happen to Heckingbottam - although as mentioned yesterday, he's more likely to walk.

So what we can only conclude is - that at the root of why Neil got the boot, then Lowe saw there was no backing forthcoming - that Hecky will either get potted like Neil (eventually) or Lowe ( eventually ) .....
For Crying Out Loud - isn't it OBVIOUS to everyone - bloody well EVERYONE - that the Root Cause is the PNE Chairman - Peter Ridsdale ?
R E S I G N , RIDSDALE, you are just not up to the job .
 
Quick substitutions and changing the shape of the team quickly. Which club was he doing this at, was it a Plymouth or Bury thing?

“I had always said, and I stick by my word, that whatever club I am at, if I feel like that then I won’t hang around and pick my money up. I am never going to fall out with my owner, CEO, sporting director...
“When I left the training ground I felt relieved. I had had this weight on my shoulders that I couldn’t shake off. I always felt that if I’m not the one, if I don’t feel the vibe then I am very good with my gut instinct.
“It’s a big thing for me. I have been on the touchline many times and thought: ‘I need to get that player off quick; I need to change shape quick’, and I’ve done it and it’s worked.

🤢🤮💩
 
What a load of self serving bullshit. Getting Lowe to be honest and truthful was like trying to pin a shadow to a wall. Impossible. God help whichever club he finally cons into employing him.
 
Most of the fans were relieved when he f—Ked off , the football served up was negative and awful to watch, entertainment value was nil and players were obviously pissed off and that’s why we lost Browne and Miller.

To be fair , the football served up last Saturday wasn’t much better than in the Lowe era ….

Having said that , I would much rather have Heckingbottom than Lowe every day of the week.

We just need to give Heckingbottom time , none of the current squad are his players apart from maybe Bowler..

I just hope he gets it right before relegation looms..

Didn't he miss out on the Hearts job to Neil Critchley? He'll be the next Wigan or Bolton manager.

Or, if we're really lucky, Steve Bruce's successor at the Seagull Draggers.

Yeah, I think his next job will be in League 1…..

I can’t see him re-appearing in the Championship anytime soon.
