      Freedom at last!!!!!

      (Let’s gloss over the fact that our board are so incompetent that they gave him the whole of preseason and lost our two best players by backing him only to sack him after one game)

      Why the fuck, if he was only one game away from the sack, wouldn’t you just get rid in June?

      Suddenly every teams fans across the uk felt fear
      For one manager sacking and they could have ryan lowe….

      Preston fans wanted rid at the end of last year, yet somehow the club gives him a full preseason only to bin him after 1 game which is arguably one of the hardest of the season, makes no sense on any level..

    15. MarcusH26051 on

      I’m not surprised it’s happened because PNE fans have wanted rid for months but the timing is erm certainly something.

      Would Lowe be welcomed back at Plymouth when Wayne is sacked at the end of the month?

    16. SneakyCroc on

      Absolutely fanstickkhh. But seriously, why the fuck was he given pre-season? Truly baffling.

      Happy with the decision but its been disastrous management by Hemmings and Ridsdale, to not sack him at the end of last season and waste all that time and pre-season that would have been better used by whoever replaces him.

      Had some good times with him in charge, especially going top last season at Stoke with the sun beaming and all our ex players walking down the tunnel but since then its been awful football and no acceptance that his ideas didn’t work.

      Dunno how he’s lasted so long. A large number of their fans seem to have disliked him for a long time now, he always seems to so defensive in interviews and they were terrible for most of 23/24 after building up points early on. I see Preston as a team who could break the top eight or ten with the right person in charge, much as the mid table thing has become a meme. Heckingbottom? Someone like that?

      Just listening to Risdale now on talksport. Sounds like he (Lowe) just didn’t feel up to it.

    22. Zach-dalt on

      Crazy

      It might be the right decision, but if he really this close to getting the ‘mutual’ boot, why not just do it at the end of last season?

      Instead they’ve just spent an entire pre-season training towards Lowe’s style, and taken Lowe’s opinions on incomings and outgoings for the majority of the window, when he’ll have been in charge for 2% of this season’s matches!

      don’t let the door hit you on the way out, and thank fuck Rooney is still in a job.

    30. B_e_l_l_ on

      You have to worry about how a professional sports company can operate like that regardless of whether it’s the right decision or not.

    31. vengefulwill on

      If you’re gonna leave, it should’ve been weeks ago, not after the first bloody game.

      What an absolute mess for PNE fans to deal with.

    35. Volo_Fulgrim on

      It’s absolutely wild to do this one game in the season. If you are one game away from the sack then you should probably just be sacked anyways…

    36. Greeninexile on

      I mean, Lowe fulfils Hallett’s requirement of being a scouser.
      Ryan – If you return all is forgiven.

    38. FabulousEnglishman on

      I’m not surprised that he’s been sacked considering that I predicted that Lowe would be sacked first. However sacking somebody this early is moronic.

      Like, why would you give somebody a whole bloody preseason if you’re just going to sack the guy after one game? It wasn’t even an embarrassing result, it was a loss to a recently relegated side.

      Now whoever replaces Lowe has to make do with his players for nearly 5 months. Whereas if Preston sacked Lowe in May or June they could have given his replacement a whole preseason to assess the players, bring in his own and implement his tactical style.

      Good luck Preston fans!

      first week of the new season and didnt expect to see this when i logged on the website this morning to try fix my IFollow login

      Thank fuck for that. Gobshite who is tactically inept. He just relies on vibes. So naturally, when they drop off after the first few months, it goes tits up.

    41. JoeJF on

      Just for people saying he’s been sacked, he left by mutual consent, the club wanted to KEEP him! Shows the ineptitude of our board. Only 50% of the problem solved, Ridsdale needs to go next.

    42. michajlo on

      A good move, albeit the timing is atrocious.

      I vividly remember the match between Boro and Preston around late November 2023, and while I expected a hard-fought draw, Preston were outmaneuvered and outclassed all over the pitch. I recall thinking that whatever tactics Lowe had in mind that day, he got absolutely everything wrong.
