Lowe, 43, is expected to be named as boss of Championship side Preston. Argyle said a club in a higher division had activated a clause to speak to Lowe, who expressed a desire to leave." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Weird that the BBC went for the shite tabloid gossip...(and given that Scott Mullen is there, I would imagine they would normally be quite accurate with our stuff as he always was in his newspapers days) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only see their usual Gossip link to whatever crap the papers are coming out with. Alexander was as far out as 33/1 last night. Lowe was odds on, and from the way it played out there were never any other candidates in the running. BBC posted this Tweet at 10am and Alexander ended up 5/1. Granted it doesn't usually take much to move manager markets but this is the headline they were linking to (via The Sun). Quote I guess the BBC are after clicks just like everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked his "best actions" section on WyScout and nothing appears Listed as only playing 3 games on there too, EFL trophy in 2019 when West Ham U21s lost 3-1 to Exeter, then 2 games at U18 level for Liverpool. His 1v1 defensive reel is great fun to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) On Parker, I was quite pissy when we announced him largely because at that point we'd heard from both Burrows and Alexander that we were changing our recruitment strategy but other than a vague "we'll need to be patient, we want to bring in the right players" promise it wasn't clear what that strategy actually was. At the point we announced Parker (literally the night before our second LC group game) we'd announced Shields, Amaluzor, Woolery, Van Veen, Kelly and O'Connor. As it goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. In hindsight it feels like there's an argument that the likes of Parker and to varying degrees Amaluzor and O'Connor were more placeholders in the squad than anything. @superward mentioned in a post yesterday "At worst, it means we can play 11 v 11 in training." that doesn't feel far from the truth tbh - I'm not sure it even qualifies as a punt if the intention was to cover the games until the end of the summer transfer window. Unlike the Robinson Strategy where we'd sign a clutch of players on 1 year deals and hope we could improve enough into serviceable first team players (which we did with plenty tbf) and ditch the rest, of our 12 permanent signings so far this season only 3 have been on short term deals. In Parker's case, the shortest of short. For the most part, the players we seem to have invested in - the 2 and 3 year guys, have been varying degrees of successful. Tierney's the first of our January signings and on a 3.5 year deal, I'm genuinely curious as to what sort of movement we're looking at in this window. Especially given Roberts' loan expires, we've already binned Lawleff off and there are question marks over a pile of players whose deals expire in the summer.
