Horwich Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Really? 2 promotions from 2 attempts by Lowe. You can’t get better than that. Quote

You are right you cannot get better and fans would expect an Instant promotion If Lowe had come on board I would happily not go up next season and put together a squad that when it is eventually promoted to League one is capable with a few additions of challenging to get into the championship You could even argue that Lowe achieved promotion twice from the same league with essentially the same team - he was able to take a core of 5 players with him - players that achieved promotion at Bury and remodel the Plymouth team on that basis - bit of a one off situation given Burys circumstances Might be different when that's not an option and you cannot buy in players - and dont forget this is BWFC we are talking about Quote

I expect us to get promotion two seasons running and be back in the championship in two years time. We will only get there if FV are bold and get this appointment right and back him for the following season. The new manager will have a crop of good young players and the pick of players who are willing to drop to lge 2. Quote

We have had a losing mentality at the club for so long that we may need a season of stability. What we need is a manager who can put in place a team with character, playing football and one the fans can believe in again. I agree with Benny, if it takes two attempts to get out of league two that would be fine if it sets a more solid foundation. I remember when we lost to Tranmere in the 1991 play off final and thinking we will never get out of the lower leagues. However, two years later and we went up under Rioch fully prepared to progress all the way to the Prem. Quote

Horwich Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 I think he will do alreet, just think Lowe would have done better. Quote
tomski Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 I expect promotion like I did when we went into L1 with PP this season. Difference being i grant that PP had a squad to walk it. But I still expect this is our best chance to regroup and build with all that’s going on. Can’t judge till the squad is put together but I’d be massively disappointed with anything less than promotion Quote

A disastrous season, and the trapdoor to something unthinkable could await every manager is a gamble. but surely gambling on a manager with a plan already honed at a similar level and who wants to play football is a better gamble then going for the same tired merry go round brigade, promoting Lee or Phillips or someone who used to play for us .so evatt or lowe for me Quote

radcliffe white Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Fans will be sceptical we have had promising beginnings with managers in the past but this fella does intrigue me lets get this right everyone on board and make league 2 a short stay Quote

My issue with this is he basically got Bury promoted, left for Plymouth and won same division with the players he won it with for Bury. Edited June 28, 2020 by Mounts Kipper Quote
Steejay Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Well, that was a fuck up. And apologies to all. I got a message, immediately posted on here, then got another message 5 minutes later telling me not to say owt. Anyway, hopefully it'll be announced officially in the next two days, and then I can say that I told you so. 😉 Quote

That's for fv to decide, not us. They're the ones employing him. Has lowe even been considered/interviewed? It's a bit of a crass comment just saying they've gone for the cheaper option, when none of us know the true events. I would add, that either would be great, but whichever one is appointed, then we should get behind him, and remove any notion of someone on the cheap.

Roger_Dubuis Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Portsmouth were a similar basket case when they finished bottom of Div 3 a few seasons ago, it took them 4 seasons to get out of Div 4. JSL Quote
snowball Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Dont think its much of a surprise if Lowe was beyond us or if Evatt was always first choice. Either of them in and i will be optimistic. Quote
Stevey B Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 FV screwed up here. They didn't pursue other managers because they would cost too much, but were misled by Evatt's agent that he would come cheap. Didn't realise that Barrow interpreted his contract differently and now hes gonna cost more than the likes of Lowe, Wellens etc. But they're too far into the process now to climb down. Just hope £200k turns out to be money well spent! Quote
