Scummer Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 I do NOT support RL since his slow replacement of Jan Slow?! He seems to have taken about 5 seconds choosing his replacement. I wish he'd taken a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 Appointing a manager is always a risk. Look at Burley, who had a pretty damn good record before he came to us. Look how he did. Some would say that one goal away from a play-off final in a very competitive division isn't a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Kint Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 Some would say that one goal away from a play-off final in a very competitive division isn't a failure. Some would say he was given more money than 90% of other teams in the division and blew the lot. I don't think i've ever seen 7 million wasted the way Burley did.

St. Jason Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 I put this above you may have missed it 'people ought to look at the post before judgeing...did they not not see the laughing emotion?It is jest but sadly it proves it must hit a nerve,' So you put a "laughing emotion" on, so what! Yes it has hit a nerve because some of the pro-Lowe's have used that as a branch to beat us with before, they have no other argument to support Lowe so try to undermine our argument by saying "it's all in a name", it ain't, its his chairmanship!

saint lard Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 BBC south today,whilst during thier coverage of the "press conference" did confirm that Crouch demanded the removal of the dutch contingent coupled with the request that Lowe/Wilde stand down also.

St. Jason Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 Not disputing that. Things didn't go to plan at all for him at Charlton. But for people to say he has failed everywhere he has been is complete nonsense. Appointing a manager is always a risk. Look at Burley, who had a pretty damn good record before he came to us. Look how he did. I don't think we could get a manager with better credentials than Dowie, that's all i'm trying to say interesting point, i agree with you, i felt Burley was poor, tactical inept, yet in the Echo he was second to Hoddle in the win ratio!!! like i say, interesting!

Weston Super Saint Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 Leon Crouch had a proven championship English manager lined up He had a meeting with Lowe, Wilde on Friday and told them that Poortvleit, Wotte and Gorre had too go !

Snowballs2 Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 I definately respect him for that but football clubs are a difernt entity. No different at all, its all about nous and profit and loss, don't try and make running a football club into a science it is not. You need to value and encourage and expand your customer base, something Lowe has not yet realised.

saintwarwick Posted 26 January, 2009 Share Posted 26 January, 2009 There is often a lot of rubbish posted on here, but that takes the biscuit. At Oldham he took them into the playoffs, and then worked there despite not being paid due to massive financial problems. He took Palace up to the prem, and then very nearly kept them up despite having very little money to spend. At Charlton he was given 12 games. I don't think you can judge a manager on 12 games. At Coventry he was manager for 49 games in total, and had 20 wins, 21 draws with a win percentage of 40. That's verging on automatic promotion form. At QPR he was manager for 15 games, and won 8 of them, and left the club in 9th position. How you can say he was a failure everywhere i really do not know. Because unlike you Charliemiller didn't do his homework. I too would take Dowie as our manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
