Why thank the board. If they had grown som B******S sooner Smith would have been appointed before the season started, this is just a reaction to the posts on here, the board must spend a lot of time on here reading what the fans have to say and then decide to act on it.

i can't work out if that's serious or a take.

I wish I'd thought of that. All you need is balls, rather than the permission of the person you are trying to sign.

I need a whole new stance in the transfer market on Championship Manager

At the end of the day wasnt it obvious what would happen employing James Lowes with very little coaching expertise. You would have been better keeping hold of Cullen a least he was Wire through and through. James Lowes had a small amount of experience on the backroom at Salford then came in under the radar at HJ.

Cullen walked, we didn't have much choice

Deadly Serious

From interview with Tony SmithI had been approached before the appointment of Jimmy Lowes but the timing wasn't right and I had to say no.
"But after talking it through with my current employers I felt the time is now right'"

Wasnt quite sure what happened whether he walked or not.

Of course he did.

be careful lads, because we've got excited with our new appointment fans of other clubs will ve claiming we said" we're gonna win SL".

Can I just say well done to the club for doing the right thing and not letting this whole mess fester. Lowes virtually talked his way out of the job last week with some of his press conference ramblings; the only surprise is that it didn't happen on Monday morning.


This is hardly a panacea though, big question is now; how will the players respond?

I'll reserve my judgement on Smith's appointment until after the Celtic game, the same time frame I would have given Lowes after last Friday.
