Selective memory syndrome in full working order again across the fanbase. Totally missing the point he cost nothing, at age 18 was taken from the scrapheap and fast tracked into the team because he was holding his own on the training pitches with the seniors. Was doing good cameos at Championship level alongside guys on tens of thousands a week and against players on even more whilst he was earning 300 quid a week. The development club, developing kids line is totally defunct when judging Dolan yet one look at Kargbo running fast and yes he's automatically better. #uckin ell.

Possibly, he has been around a long time though and must be 60 plus.

i find it a strange appointment,is he any improvement on carrick??? don`t think so myself,he`ll be under big pressure if boro don`t start well,especially after spending big last season

Can’t see Coventry interest being real they are well stocked in that area unless they are selling sheaf

Phenomenal, historical, colossal. Stunning from this England side, but let’s not forget India gave us so many chances with dropped catches and missed stumping, but we’ll take that. 1-0 England

Suck on that Balaji

I see efforts to sell the captain are escalating. Looks like Wrexham and Derby 'interest' not come to anything yet so let's try and get Coventry in on the act Wages and a couple of million fee long ago earmarked for savings and running costs.

Yep good for betting but his childishness was ridiculous with pretty much all of his bookings, its hard to believe he didn't get clattered a bit more as a result. Looked like he couldn't be arsed half the time, there's definitely some talent there but I doubt anyone is going to put his attitude right and his face straight at this stage...

It's always been a bit odd how under multiple managers Lowe has never been replaced. If he goes now it implies he was either in bed with Waggott or Ismaeel has a bit more sway than previous managers. Pretty sure it's the first option.

Interesting….i don’t mind a film clear out if val wants his own men in so be it

It was suggested that Lowe was once sacked and he went to the owners and was reinstated. As forever Blue mentioned the Twitter account Rovers insider has suggested he is unsackable and did have a direct line to the owners. It would seem to be a big deal, if he does get moved on.

Just replied to an interesting thread that was started a couple of months back. Inside Rovers - think it started there

Interesting thread in hindsight…. @Emerald Isle Rover

eustace moved him out of the 1st team organisation completely,he stuck him in the scouting dept,looks like val has put the final nail in lowe,just need to get rid of benson next

afc darwen

Can someone elaborate on the rumours about Lowe being an inside man? Never heard these before but now 3/4 comments on here and on x first Iv read/heard of it

Shite

This bloke has been borderline unsackable for years, so this is quite a surprise. This seems like the most plausible reason as to why he stuck around for so long, when managers and assistants came and went.

I’m around 7 miles away (as the crow flies) dry here at the moment too. A nice uneventful hour once they get back on would be good. 🤞

Maybe Lowe was Waggott’s man on the training ground, rather than Venky’s man on the inside? It’s always interesting to see who else loses their job when a Senior figure departs an organisation. Regardless, it’s the Rudy/Pasha show now.

You're a bloody jinx...... The good news is, I'm about 20 miles away from Headingley and its blue sky and sun here, hopefully the weather is heading that way.

You took ‘retain this portion’ literally didn’t you 😀😀

Fair enough, I don't know anything about shady firings and hirings. My recent view was he seemed like a positive influence on the team in a time where players were thrown into a bad situation.

Disagree entirely. Lowe getting out is a HUGE positive. Rumours he was fired and rehired in a shady way around the time Lambert was around.

Interesting. I think a couple of years ago this would have been seen as a big positive (on here anyway), but now he has filled in and done a reasonable job as caretaker it probably isn't going to be as popular. He used to be widely considered untouchable. I wonder what changed, or if he ever was untouchable after all rather than just lucky and good enough at his job to be kept around.
