Get ready for another Lowe rumour (Bristol City)
- Thread starter plymouthboyuk
- Start date
I thought this was coming for Lee Johnson. Every season they seem to promise so much and they tend to fall away. I guess the owner has just lost patience. Personally I donât think they will be interested in Lowe. The owner probably wants a manager who will give them that extra bounce next season and take them up. That said, if they were interested in him, it would probably be a no-brainer for him. Bigger club, real potential for the top flight and two hours closer to home. Another period of uncertainty for Argyle fans.
No way would Johnson come down here. There wonât be any shortage of opportunities for him in the Championship. There will be managers worrying about their position as we speak.

Mark Robbins is a far better candidate than most of the early contenders being bandied about, including Lowe.
City are looking for someone to take them into the Premiership, not get them out of League 2.
If I was a Coventry fan I might be a bit worried, especially when you compare the set up at Ashton Gate, the training ground and the backing from the owners compared to homeless Coventry who are in for a season of struggle next season just like Luton, Barnsley and Charlton are experiencing this season.

Crazy idea, appointing a highly successful candidate from lower down the food chain? Fair enough.
Hopefully they go for a boring name off the managerial merry go round, do nothing new or different and end up becoming stale as pondwater.

Changed your tune!
Not going to post 150 messages that Lowe will never leave in this one then?
Hughton might be a good bet. He held off from a couple of potential championship jobs last season, because he apparently wanted a Premiership position. No offers in that department so Bristol City might be an attractive project for him. Mick McCarthy would be well worth a punt at 20-1 too.
Wrong, Johnson applied for the Argyle job but narrowly lost out to Sheridan based on experience.Devongreenowl":cemqfwxm said:
In the unlikely event of Argyle needing a new Manager, he would be a good shout. He is still quite young and he will bounce back in time but after what has happened at City, he is unlikely to get another Championship job next.
A gig at a good League 1 club with genuine potential could be good for him and his next employer.

Daft comment from you Knibbsworth. Told you a million times to stop exaggerating! All I ever said was that he wouldnât leave for Bolton in response to your silly deafening silence posts. Bristol City is a different kettle of fish, but I donât think they will be interested in him as I said above. I await more pearls of wisdom from you. :tumbleweed:
If Ainsworth gets Wycombe into the Championship he will surely be in the frame.
Lowe unlikely, in my view, to be in the running for a Championship post until people have seen how he performs in League One.

Jesus, we're almost four hours into this rumour and Ryan Lowe hasnât uttered a word. No statement from HP. Disgraceful. The silence is deafening.

Thatâs going back seven years or more though Dave. I really donât think he would consider Argyle if Lowe got his old job, which I donât think he will. I expect City to go for an established name this time.

Oh FFS, heâs only the favourite because some pessimistic Argyle fans have immediately stuck a tenner on him going there.
Itâll be a small betting pool at the moment so a few quid going on him will see him sit at the top until the real money starts up over the next few days.
