ARGGGGH You are WRONG! There IS an alternative. Tell me which clubs under similar circumstances as ourselves have attempted this?

Controversial.

How many games have you seen this season?

Cheers. This is the sort of view I was looking for when I started this thread.

Probably done similar things to Lowe except that he could easily have kept Pearson on (assuming there were not any demands Pearson made that we are unaware about.) Many people who have spoken to Pearson said that he was fully aware of the financial restraints for the new season. It could well have been that Pearson was put in charge of these kids and actually got better results. Personally I like what Lowe has done and I'm glad he's gone down this route. He could easily have done things differently yet kept costs down. Look at other clubs in a similar position to ourselves, I don't see many of them going down the route we have chosen!

No that is rubbish (Um Pahars will love this post!) Rupert had many options (one of which was to keep Pearson on). He chose to go down this route so he is fully deserving of criticism if we get relegated.

Now that would be worth buying! I would find it fairly amusing if Rupert does gain success from this though. As he has been telling everyone, he knows something which all established football people do not! Maybe history would record him as a true visionary?

I wasn't trying to have a debate on Lowe's value to SFC. I was merely pointing out that he has done a lot better than I (and I suspect a fair few others) have expected so far, both with his remodelling of the team (giving us something to be proud of) and with his own behaviour.

Well all I can say is I hope he gets the opportunity to!

That's very true. I would have to give Lowe credit so far though for restoring my pride in SFC and giving me my moneys worth! Despite losing to Birmingham for example, I came away feeling satisfied with our performance and happy that we didn't just roll over and die. If we get relegated doing that then so be it. At least we have a team of youngsters to be proud of again.

Over-rated? Hardly. I don't think it is possible for most people to have a lower opinion of the man! I certainly would prefer him not to be involved. I'm just saying he is behaving much better than I thought he would. I've already stated that I would rather be relegated enjoying the performances we have had this season than go through all of last season and feel like I've just wasted a season ticket.

Well what does everyone else think? Since he came back, I fully expected the worst. His plan seemingly made no sense and his choice of manager was very odd. I sat back and waited for Lowe to take centre stage again, issuing pathetic statements and patronising OS comments. We have had a few to be honest but then we also had similar things under Crouch and Wilde. Just recently Rupes has taken a back seat. I haven't heard much from him other than football related comments. After the bible passages and cringeworthy quotes of his old regime, I have thus far been pleasantly surprised. It seems that he has learnt some lessons at the very least. That can only be a good thing for our club.

And this isn't that though is it.

The common for me

Most brilliant mind of a generation yet still stumped by a flight of stairs

If mr hawking just made stuff up would people just accept it because he said it?

Lol. Saint George is a mentalist. He sounds like John Nada

On the upside, it means we only have to hear about apple at a maximum three times in any 24 hour period. Every cloud...

I'm renaming him Amir Khunt

I see Rooney stays on again

Did you get that application you wanted in the end.

N95 8gb is the best. You won't regret it!

First one for me.

I actually agree with that. For me though the experiment is working at the moment. As I said the philosophy is right and I feel good about watching this team achieve something (even if it's just a win away at Pride Park.)
