I have a terrible feeling Preston (who I'm fond of) are making a big mistake here.
Plymouth fans are shocked by his decision, but I think one of the reasons for it was that Lowe has been forced to take a realistic view of his squad at Home Park in the last couple of weeks and has realised the only way was down from their earlier brilliant run. They'll do well to sustain a play-off place with or without him ........... and Plymouth is a very big city to sit mid-table in Division One.
Unfortunately I think Lowe will prove to be a good lower-league manager, a scouse Steve Evans. Wasn't impressed with the way he stripped Bury of everything bar the light-fittings when he upped in a hurry for Plymouth. He might persuade local products Jephcott and Cooper to join him in January. They're good young players. But I think Preston are worth more than a Ryan Lowe. I hope I'm wrong. Good news is, I often am.
