So am I right in thinking that there is still no announcement from the Club on the future of David Lowe, who apparently has left according to Ismael but the Club hasn't had the decency to announce it yet.

Also after the appalling statement confirming the departure of the previous CEO after 7.5 years the club is yet to announce a replacement, timescale, update or indeed who is running the club in Waggott's place at the current time?

Communication eh?

Ismael confirmed the Nicko's story from about 2 weeks about David Lowe leaving us post game. 

Whitehead and Johnson did the pre match warm ups with the outfield players

I would imagine they are sorted out Lowe's payment 

on the CEO position, probably a question will be asked by someone at the Fans Forum tonight, Wouldn't be surprising if they are still interviewing or waiting for that person's notice period before the appointment is made publicly.

Exactly. Nixon 'broke' the news weeks ago, Ismael had to answer the question after the game on Saturday and it's been reported in the Telegraph. Still no official announcement from the club, which is what I would kind of expect but hey since when do we operate by industry norms?

They offered Lowe a different role, which he is reported has not taking. So probably trying to sort of his exit terms

Hopefully someone at the Fans Forum is asking this question for yourself

Why do we have to wait and hope that the question gets asked in a Forum meeting?

If the media and Ismael have both confirmed it why can't the club?

Really refreshing how honest and open VI is 

Well we know one of the big factors in JE leaving was the lack of tying down contracts. I am intrigued what exactly we have offered. Unfortunately VI isn't very clear on that. 

Could be something the Fans Forum ask for some detail on from whoever comes to that (Gestede?).

VI suggesting post match that Travis is likely to leave…….we are unable to keep any of our better players - surprisingly contradicts the owners “defiant” message season eve on our ‘determination to strengthen on the pitch and build on last season’…..

Is anyone actually surprised?

They’ve obviously given up trying to renew the ‘26 expiries but have they even started trying with the ‘27 ones?

 

 

[DutchRover]

Ah but we need to see if they deserve an extension based on results this season, who knows what division we will be in and the budget...

Like Kargbo

Truly a stupid decision to give him such a short contract

I would imagine even given the limited gametime he has had, his performances & subsequent expected wage would be beyond what the bean counters are prepared to offer now

Apart from young lads on the fringes like Montgomery, Duru etc, no first team players will sign a new contract here ever again under this regime.

One 3/4 year contract with plan to sell after 2/3 years, rinse and repeat.
