Ryan Lowe’s contract

Ipplepen green · Jan 13, 2020

After getting bury promoted last season and hopefully doing the same with us this season, bigger clubs are obviously well aware of our great manager. Just wandering how long we have him signed up for and wondering if it’s time to renew his contract ? He has us playing great football, a winning side, and also conducts himself in a great manner. How long until a championship side come knocking ? :thumbs:

Indeed. The directors got a bit carried away with the previous incumbent and signed him up to a long contract. How did that work out?

Talking of contracts, when does Jephcott's expire?

GreenRich · Jan 13, 2020

Sure I saw somewhere it was 3 years.

It’s looking good but shall we see if he can actually get us promoted before worrying about this. There’s nothing that impressive about our current league standing to get clubs higher up excited enough to shell out comp for him.

Yea it was. He talked about it in one of his early interviiews because of the statement of intent from the club to sign him for 3 years.

A new contract won't stop him going if he wants to.

Let's not get carried away, keep focus and concentrate on getting to L1. We haven't achieved anything yet and I'm sure RL knows this.

What we must, or the board must do is keep a shortlist of 3/4 managers who share some footballing values with RL and could carry on the brand of football we have started to play this year if Lowe is tempted by away in the next 12/18 months. They should be doing this every 2/3 months.

I'm sure i heard it was 3 years. I think, unless he is a very astute salesman, that he really likes it here and sees the potential of the crowds and enjoys the set up and his relationship with Simon Hallett and everyone else at the club. Put simply, we are a good stable club now, on the up with a new stand and momentum. My point it, i was worried he would be keen to get back 'up north' ASAP but now i'm not convinced, it think it would take a serious offer to tempt him away. The other factor is the average shelf life of a manager in the championship which is not very much and let's be frank if it's a vacant job in the majority of cases it would be a club struggling who have sacked a manager and maybe in danger of dropping to league 1, where we hope to be next season in any case!

He is doing a good job so far but it's best to leave this sort of talk until the end of the season (should we be promoted)

I was guilty of getting carried away halfway through Adams' first season!

He also said recently that he and his missus were house hunting with a view to his family moving down here to live after Xmas - that doesn't smack of someone who'd take the first offer to move back North!

He’s perfect for Argyle and Argyle are perfect for him.

Timing couldn’t be better as a partnership.

Enjoy the ride :scarf:
