Lowe in talks with Argyle (Confirmed)

[blightfoot66]

Anyone got proof of what he said and when he said it? I am watching play off final and Argyle wasnt mentioned. .more rubbish me thinks

 

[Costusdear]

In interview said he was impressed with the club, chairman, directors, and ceo so obviously has had talks. Also that there would come a time when a decision would have to be made and would hope he would make the right one.

 

[Army green]

Not quite the “done deal” we was expecting then.

 

[blightfoot66]

I repeat, Nothing about Argyle was mentioned by Ryan Lowe .

Was there something on sky sports news? I am reading some comments that’s where people have seen it.

Out of his own mouth ‘ no where near done ‘ hope this helps

Well there you have it...

1) 'It'll be announced tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday'

Confirmed as wrong.

2) "Done deal"

Confirmed as wrong too.

It's 'Nathan Jones' all over again.

Right i've tiptoed around the edges of feeling this for a good while but this does it for me now, whether he comes here or not. I don't want him.

We need the club to have a figurehead, a loyal leader who oozes enthusiasm for us and inspires loyalty and passion in others, not just the playing staff but the whole club and the fans.

Don't get me wrong, he has those qualities... trouble is he has them for another club, not Argyle. Our club should be no-one's insurance policy, no-ones backstop, it should be someone's passion.

By all accounts he's been down, he's seen what is on offer, what is being built both literally (the development) and metaphorically (the Argyle project) and still he's holding out for something else. Be it money, be it Bury, be it dilly dallying over relocating it doesn't matter. What he didn't do was say "f**k me I'm having some of that, where do I sign".

If he's the best man that the process has identified I would be worried. I suspect he's not he's just the only one we've had a public running commentary on. No more time wasting, no more hokey cokey.

Move on Simon, Argyle is bigger and better than being treated like this. Wherever he was in the pecking order, scrub his name out. Who now could possibly ever fully believe that his heart was fully in the job if he came?

Withdraw from the negotiations, thank him for his time and move on. Bring in the best candidate who rubs their hands together in glee at the prospect of being Argyle manager, who sees the potential and would walk over broken glass to grab the opportunity by the scruff of the neck. Someone who'll be in the office next week getting things started.

I still don't think he's top of the list anyway, just the leakiest in the list. But even if he was I'd sooner have someone further down the list who absolutely WANTS IT that someone who doesn't demonstrably want to grab the opportunity.

"Well it's all very nice 'n'all but you see I've got this other job with Sky this weekend and then I'm off with me bezzies in a camper van for a week. Don't call me, I'll call you like"

No thanks son, jog on

The comments made by Lowe were on sky sports news approx 2.20 at Wembley interview with him and Danny Cowley. Also travelling to see champions league final via camper van next Thursday .

Apologies then, haven't seen Sky Sports News. But he did not mention anything at start of play off programme

You might want someone committed to Argyle.

However, even what we thought the most so called loyal of mangers mr Holloway “I bleed Green n White” eventually left us.

We all want loyalty and commitment. However, football isn’t the sport to follow if you want that. The Argyle players at Accrington should have at least made that statement very clear.

Agree with all that. If he has been offered the position, he’s biding his time and using todays punditry and next week’s CL final to bide his time in the hope that Bury get their act together. Withdraw any offer made and move on. We owe him nothing and we need to look after ourselves. If it still goes t1ts up at Bury and he’s either working for nothing or out of work he’s only got himself to blame.

 

[Centre Circle]

I really, strongly feel a lot of our fans need to have a reality check.

The whole conversation of a deal being ‘imminent’ has come from social media and other sources of conjecture. Neither the club or Ryan Lowe (or anyone else who could actually set the agenda) have said a thing.

We don’t know for a fact that anyone has been offered the job. We don’t know for a fact that anyone is mulling it over. We don’t know if a delay has been caused by a clubs financial issues. We don’t know if any particular individual has familial considerations that have delayed an announcement.

I’m staggered (although I shouldn’t be and should know better) that Lowe is being written off for delaying, etc. etc. when no one knows if it’s true!!!!!

We all need to be patient and wait for an announcement - then we can start legitimately knicker twisting if we wish.

 

[Metal Green Mickey]

I agree. Except fans don’t have patience lol.

All l would say is l don’t understand the extending the early bird the way we have when surely people are waiting to decide whether to renew after hearing who the new manager is. So l think this could of been handled better by the club. Eg extend it to beginning of a June after pay day for most people.

 

[Centre Circle]

I do agree re. the early bird offer - it would have made more sense to extend it indefinitely or until the end of June.

Totally agree with this.
