Also just lost his top player at Argyle, as Sarcevic wanted to move back North. Not sure what else people can want from him - if he's sold the board with his presentation, I'd take him. For him, he'd probably just want some stability after two years with those teams. Exactly. I remember reading he wowed the Argyle chairman with his presentation when he landed that job. If people want exciting, attacking football with a specific style that’s exactly what you will be getting. He also has the advantage of being young, hungry and successful (two promotions in his two full seasons as a manager). A really likeable bloke who is passionate, honest and fiery yet tactically aware in line with modern football. Also, pure speculation here, but I’m quite certain would buy into the club ethos and work alongside Mark Ashton. Only one issue for our fans, he’s the ‘cheap’ option so is automatically crap and will do shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Would be very surprised if it's Lowe as Head Coach. Just doesn't feel quite right. He's exactly the sort of manager we'd go for if we got relegated into L1. Putting 2+2 together, I wonder if he could be no.2 if it's Gerrard. Apparently they're friendly. Would mean having to pay two lots of compensation so probably unlikely, but it's the only feasible way I could see him being involved right now. Would explain the odds moving too - simply from people being aware we're speaking to him, just for a different role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re certainly good mates. I did wonder if something had been leaked from the club that we have been pursuing a young scouse manager, presumed to be Gerrard when in fact it was Lowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done his apprenticeship and been very successful, why would he go to a number two role? He's also been wanted by Bolton, and would likely be linked with any top L1/bottom Champ clubs, think Sunderland... Would be a strange move to step back into an assistant role in these circumstances.

I think it was @Kid in the Riot who suggested that we may well speak to Lowe, not so much with a view to being appointed now, but to give him some experience and establish a link with him, maybe give him loan players to work with and suss him out as a potential future appointee.

Been/being interviewed perhaps? He's moved to odds favourite a couple of times already, potentially bookie strategy to encourage more bets on managers who are now at longer odds, Hughton out to 10/1, Cook out to 16/1 etc, Cowley was long favourite yesterday and is out to 10/1 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack Bladder Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 It seems my excitement regarding the new appointment is waning by the hour. It seems an absolute age ago now, when I genuinely thought we had a plan and a new man ready to get started. My expectations are getting so low, I am beginning to think what was the point of sacking LJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
