RL's interviews

[EyeOpener]

I just really hope there is a combination of results this weekend which means we cannot go down.

I think everyone - fans, players, management, administration - need to be able to draw a line under this season and re-group for brighter days ahead.

Fair comment. Draw a line and hopefully Lowe can show us next season that he has actually learned something. When all is said and done, things could have turned out a lot worse.

His man management is really poor

Several of Lowe's current and former players have spoken openly about how good Lowe's man management is. Can you back up why you think his man management is really poor?

it would be very interesting to learn from those players just how they consider RL's man management is good. Is it because he is chummy with everybody and does no rollicking sessions in front of the squad at large. If so, can it be judged as a success? On the other hand, as we have seen at Spurs, Mourinho was more distant from his players, especially so if he thought they were thought to be lazy. As a result, he gets the boot. It raises the question is there a right way, or is there a wrong way? I would suggest it depends upon the sensitivities of the individuals in the squad, are they performing and winning matches?

I don’t think there’s a right way or a wrong way, as long as you keep your players performing & on side to avoid what happened the last time we were in League 1, and that even when you’re not performing you still maintain a collective togetherness. Whilst we definitely aren’t performing at the moment, I’ve never felt as if there’s a rift or a toxicity at the club, as I have done before.

I agree his man management could be seen as good by some players because he is a soft touch. A line should be drawn between being one of the boys and being the boss.

What Lowe says to the media and what actually happens behind the scenes are probably two very different things !

What really matters are the performances on the pitch. If Argyle stay up then Lowe would have done OK and the entire focus will be on next season.

Yep, a nutshell. It's been a satisfactory transitional season and this Summer is huge.

I try not to criticise too much.
I am a supporter we are a work in progress.
I'll be much more inclined to (and able to) comment on Saturday April 23rd 2022
For St George, England and The Argyle!! :scarf:

So Lowe is pleased with the reaction of his players after the 6-0 mauling by Charlton. Does he really think a 3 - 1 defeat is ok? He then says his aim is to get 6 more points this season :funny:

 

[Darren Stoneman]

The thing is you all sound the same , flipping boring hearing the same rubbish coming from each of you who have probably not played or managed higher than subutteo

We all knew we were gettting a rookie manager, learning the game, you all complained about Adams and Sheridans dour attitude, boring football, we all knew we would get to taste some defeats

The whole aim in what has been a strange season was to stay up , job done

There are sayings on here that do my head in

Oh he could do a job there or play the youngsters or there’s a real player there

You really all know Didly squat about what goes on behind closed doors, or the conversations held!

We are a growing team with a young manager and a very young team , if you want perfect pop off to Manchester
:furious:

It is time for a sacking; we all know that. My only consolation is that, after much goading from myself, Lowe and his sycophant pall have, at last, recognised the possibility that we could have gone down.

I would estimate that Dale has less than one tenth of our resources and less than one tenth of our fan base. Please let Dale be safe because Dale deserves to survive, whereas our season has been a disgrace.

Fortunately, you don’t make the decision about a sacking and I refute your suggestion that “we all know that”.
Ryan Lowe was recently given a contract extension by Simon Hallett (FCA). You may have more letters after your name than Simon but I am certain that he has better credentials than you to decide when changes will be made.
Of course, RL was as anxious as we were to know that it was mathematically impossible for us to be relegated and I am convinced that he knows that he will have a very busy close season attempting to ensure that we will recruit a squad that is capable of performing with more consistency next season.

Is it for the players to say that Lowe's man management is so good? Yes, they have a viewpoint, and many may like working for him, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's getting the best out of them. If Lowe's man management is so good, why have so many players not performed to full potential in the latter stages of the season?

What does FCA stand for in this instance, Davie? And what relevance does it, or any other professional qualification (if that's what it is), have in this context?
