Think the thing that has hurt Lowe more than anything is having "failed" on his CV and damaging his so called "business" reputation amongst his peers (if he believes he has any!).
He will need to get his rather blinkered views across not just to appease his own ego but more likely to explain publicly to his "City Slicker" chums that it wasn't his fault and that the blame lies elsewhere.
I can't begin to consider a third return of Lowe in any shape or form that would be the ultimate nightmare:(
