Ryan Lowe and Sheff Wed

[Guiri Green]

Would have to disagree that they have been better for a decade. Five or six years maybe. At one point in the last decade they were L1 and Wednesday were Championship, so hardly. No question they have done amazingly well but I felt it was going to come to an end this season until this untimely intervention. You would then have seen them slowly return to small club status, surviving on crowds of 5-6k which they were doing within the last ten years.

It’s a good point re the grass not always being greener on the other side. History is full of managers who have failed to take the very real step up to manage a big club with a huge tradition. Personally, whilst I rate Lowe very highly and would be happy to see him at Hillsborough after Argyle, I actually don’t think he is ready for it. He’s played there and knows the club, but the pressure on a manager at a club like Wednesday is immense.

Eddie Howe has done a great job at Bournemouth but the pressure on him is probably fairly limited. He’s actually well and truly over achieved there. Who would have expected them to spend more than 1-2 seasons in the Prem? If they’d been relegated this season, he would have probably got a big Championship job, but it seems the bigger Prem clubs aren’t really interested in him. His best chance is to get back up there with one of the big Championship clubs and go from there.

I think we should forgive Bournemouth ONE mid season finish in their climb from the fourth tier to the top table. No other clubs' achievements compare to Bournemouth's over the last ten years let alone Sheffield Wednesday.

Yes but the pressure to succeed at Sheffield Wednesday is immense, almost as big as the sense of disappointment they must reguarly feel when they don't. Even with their small Crowds but significant financial backing, Bournemouth have surpassed everything the self proclaimed big clubs have managed to do in a very long time.

Probably, he will be asked to elaborate on his comment when he is on Twitter at midday today.

Yep:

paul wood@1966woody
@Only1Argyle we all seen the recent interview where you mentioned Sheffield Wednesday, should we be worried ?


Plymouth Argyle FC@Only1Argyle
No, you shouldn't be worried. It was blown out proportion.
I was asked a question, I answered it fairly. I am the Argyle manager and I am loving every minute of it, and excited by the project.

Thanks, KIG.
Can I listen to a recording of Ryan’s hour on Twitter?
I’ve only used it to find out our team before it appears on Pasoti.

No it's just typed out question and answers. I thought it was later today :doh: so have just been to their Twitter page and scrolled through them.

I didn’t say we did Cabbie. I just pointed out that it’s five or six years and not a decade. It has been amazing but unfortunately only about 10,000 locals get to see them because their ground is still pretty much the same size as it was twenty years ago. Unbelievably they have shelved plans to build a bigger stadium which seems crazy.

Just read a Herald summary on WhatsApp. I see that Sarcevic and Ryan Hardie asked questions.

How can you dismiss the climb from League Two to the Premier League and say that wasn't amazing?

If in ten years time Argyle are in their fifth consecutive season in the top flight, the Green Army would definitely and rightly be looking back on a great TEN years and not just the last five.

I know you like to pick up everything I say Lundan, but just what is it you don’t seem to get when I use the words ‘amazingly well’ and ‘it has been amazing’ in reference to Bmth.

It's amazing what a silent Russian benefactor can do eh? ;-)

Amazing indeed! Oh, those Russians!

It's fairly unremarkable stuff, some good questions but predominantly straight bat answers.

Or an American residing Plymothian. It's only a matter of scale.

Oh really? Of course Russian oligarch finances are just as well regulated as anywhere else :funny:
