OK, so...
(Hello ? Can a friendly mod please let met have alpine_saint back, please? Someone replied to my e-mail from the admin address and promised to have it sorted out, but my account is still locked on banned. Soon as that is done and dusted, I'll pay up...)
I am still uncertain over the return of Lowe. The circus act at SMS appears to have stopped, I completely agree. The management of Hone, Hoos, Crouch and co. after Xmas was a bloody farce. But how do we all know that this is not just the opening act ? At the moment, I consider it just as likely that we will wake up next week to find all our decent players sold, and I am not certain as to how much interference is going on with team selection.
I still feel a colossal injustice was done to Nigel Pearson too.
The jury is out, in my opinion. But then, sadly, I no longer get to see the team. Another reason I am glad to be back on here - I have no real alternative for following the team's fortunes.
