How do you know this? Did the Chairman confide in you? When was this?
I accepted and expected a consolidation season. If we stayed up, Lowe stayed in post.
We stayed up, Lowe gets another go.
If he *****s up before Xmas 2021 he will be (should be) sacked.
I think/I believe (but I don't know) that Mr. Hallett would concur with that.
Bit unfair: 'You done well. We stayed up. You're sacked!' :lol:
Argyle was very unlucky today, with diabolical, cheating ref.
BUT, come on, no manager should survive, after 2 wins in last 15 games and earlier freefall dive of 6 losses on the trot.
If Lowe is not sacked now, we are relegation certainties next season; the man is clueless in terms of tactics.
So, I'm afraid, for the good of the club, Lowe and Schumacher must GO!

The only thing I am not looking forward to? Oldage
What and I looking forward too? A summer of building and the excitement of a new season

You can write pages of balanced comment on here, and the disappointing thing is, come match day, you mostly get the same scripts repeated. That is not to dismiss the season we have had, at all. That's not dismiss the issues we've all seen this season, which probably accrued from the recruitment plan and the lack of experience across the club. Ryan is a new manager, Simon is a new chairman, almost all of the key backroom staff are new to the club, with the exception of Nancekivell.
Despite how the season unfolded, we are not as defeated as some/many? assume. If you look at it as a whole, in spells we've competed and defeated some of the best in the division, lost to some we shouldn't, thrown games away too often. That's inconsistency.
I'll go back to the fact that Hallett has spelled this out from the very start, and in all the fans forums, he has a different vision and it won't be same old Argyle, and it won't even be like the majority of the non achieving clubs around us. He won't be guided by short term results, one season even.
HE, the Chairman, employed a young inexperienced Manager and assistant, to this club, with the majority of fans approval. He's risk managing them and letting them gain experience, to hopefully get them and us to the level we all want. He was clear he didn't want a journeyman manager set in his ways and playing bland football. It won't come yesterday and he will not take short term decisions, however frustrated some people are about that. What he does have I'm sure, are various targets he will have set for the team. As far as I'm aware the main target he set was to consolidate in league 1 this season. As difficult as it has been to get there (and watch it at times), it's been achieved.
Next season, depending on budget, he will have other targets and if we're not looking like were improving to meet them, he will make a decision that's best for the club, we can all have confidence in that, as he did previously when he first arrived, to a relegation. I have total faith in Simon Hallett, and it's his decisions that count.

Can you give me one good reason not to have faith in Simon? We can all think of Chairman, for various reasons, we've justifiably not had faith in. Has Simon ever not delivered, so far. Has he set unachievable targets? Has he taken the Club backwards?
Consolidation means staying up. and by 9 points (and yes should have been more based on half the season).

We were safe after only 38 games, so hardly by the skin of our teeth. Mission accomplished but nevertheless an awful final 3rd of the season. A lot of work to do in the close season and hopefully some lessons learnt.oddball":i6qbw1qc said:

Thought you had blocked me!!
But no offence you were not in my thoughts just a land Mark birthday
But that's how teams get relagated. They drop more points than the teams above them. That's how it works !!!!
So relying on teams below us to stay up has nothing to do with it
The four team below and relagated are there for a reason. They are worse than us. End of
