Some may have missed Ryan Loweās comments about Calum posted elsewhere. They deserve to be read under this thread. The comments say a lot about the Club and Ryan Lowe as a manager.
āIt was a while ago we knew and he now looks forward to new ventures. For us, as a football club, and me, as a manager, we made sure he was comfortable with everything we did.
āHe was financially looked after by the club and well guided, Iād like to think, by me and the coaching staff, and with everything we gave him.
āWe pushed him right to the end and even sent him to St Georgeās Park to help him. It was tough for Calum and tough for all of us at the time. We did say we would help him with any other clubs and we did speak to some non-league clubs.
āWe tried to do everything for Calum to perhaps play part-time. At 23 years of age, itās very tough to retire from football but when we spoke to him when he was leaving, he felt like he had a weight lifted from his shoulders and could go and live his life.
āItās been tough for him but weāve said weāll always be there for him, and whatever he needs, whether thatās references or whatever. I just wish him all the best for the future.ā
