Katalinic Posted 24 July, 2009 Share Posted 24 July, 2009 Says he has a dysfunctional side, needs a couple of players and needs to do a re-building job. Pressure on to deliver from day 1. Exciting future, getting calls from everywhere offering players. Young players accelerated too fast and we need consistent players who can give 7/8 out of 10 every game. Young players have technical ability but no game knowledge, need more reserve team football. Had enquiries about a couple of young players but told they were not for sale - good position to be in.

That worked then ?????

Lowe's "experiment" plus The Dutch Duo. etc. etc WAS the cause of our catastrophic Demise Alan Pardew has only stated the OBVIOUS ..... and it echoes what many on here could see from day one of Lowe's Second Coming Never Never forget how close Lowe came to Destroying us .........

derry Posted 24 July, 2009 Share Posted 24 July, 2009 At last somebody seeing the wood from the trees. It looks like things will be sorted sooner rather than later.

John B Posted 24 July, 2009 Share Posted 24 July, 2009 I think the point that is being made is that JP and MW did not understand what was needed to succeed in the Championship, not the historical reasons why they were put in charge. My take is slightly different JP was brought in because we could not afford to increase the wage bill and had experience of running teams with younger players. He would never have been employed as a convential CCC Manager. MW after Xmas saw the strategy was not working but it is not worth discussing any further as Pardew is here and seems to be doing a good job.

I'm pretty sure he has only just realised what a MASSIVE job he's taken on Pity about the Hearts match in a way. There won't be many there unfortunately, but I wish them well Realistically, I reckon a draw v Millwall will be a Good result for us.

Virtually, the Rape of our Football Club .... Thank God he's gone ..... I think the word rape is a bit over the top but or once in my life I'm going to agree with you Richmond. It wasn't JP's or Mw's strategy, it was Lowe's. He did it with perhaps the best of intentions but it was a flawed strategy, he was told as much, and wouldn't listen. Maybe Barclay's made it so that he wouldn't listen. The idea was a mix of youth and experience, but the emphasis was far too much on youth. MW did his best after JP left but let's face it, we were f*cked from the start Either way, it's done, it's dusted we are where we are, rock bottom has come, and hopefully gone now.

iansums Posted 24 July, 2009 Share Posted 24 July, 2009 Why does virtually every thread end up in an argument over what happened in the past and in particular about Lowe. He's gone, it's all in the past. Time to look forward with ML and AP in charge. We also must be patient, there is massive rebuilding to be done.
