Can't believe lowbank contributions have ended where they have, this was a fun read. On the plus side while he is saying who will and who won't be successful with regards to coaching at least he isn't offering financial advice To be fair I am earning more in retirement than I did when I was working...

Just would like to say, Wade provided me with the second best day of my life after the birth of my daughter . He was a great player for us. Not just on that day but on many days. I just think after watching training on many days when he through a 2 year old hissy fit , I just don’t see him as a coach.

This reply is even more bizarre.

I’ve got absolutely no idea what you’re going on about here so I’ll leave it there for tonight.

Well Cotts was a great coach with outstanding knowledge and he didn’t succeed. Wade is an arrogant person so less likely to succeed

I'm struggling to see how this galvanises your opinion of Wade Elliott, or his ability to coach

My next post deals with that. After he left .

Players, coaches and managers often row. It's all part of the job, just like any other physical, high energy workplace. On that wades point was midfielders shoul not track the run of opponents midfield players. He felt they should only concentrate on attacking. Defending was the job of the back 4. ...

Wondering what on earth allows Lowbank to be the arbiter of who will make it as a coach and who won’t. And why does Lowbank believe he knows more than Cotterill and Duff because they’ve not managed at a high enough level. I can only assume we’re blessed with the postings of a PL manager on this for...

That's a very strange comment.

To be fair I watched a lot of training back in the day, be it Ternant, Cotts, Coyle etc plus I watch session s put on by the COE by Vince etc. That’s my observation

All made it at a far higher level than any of us will

Interesting I was debating this today with Vince Overson. Who was and would be an amazing coach if he hadn’t lost love with the game. It’s all gone to **** on a hand cartlike my industry.

Lowbankclaret

Was very highly rated at both Bristol City & Stoke and when he was moving south west again for family reasons he was quickly snapped up by Michael Duff. I doubt Cotterill & Duff would employ him if they didn’t rate him. Well both Cotterill and Duff have not made it at a high level. I will guarantee...

I watched him on the training ground on many occasions, he will not make a coach whilst he has a hole in his bum.

Highland cattle fillet steak, due to being out on grass all year round the meat is sweeter and more tender. Each time our friends send one to slaughter we buy a full fillet which cuts to between 8 and 10 steaks for around £50-60. Great value.

Foulridge, I think, is the centre of the L & L canal system. The two reservoirs put the water in - one side of the tunnel the flow is right to left (towards Liverpool) and if you're stood on the same side of the canal on the other side, the flow is left to right, (towards Leeds). Though I fully acc...

For some reason I recall from A-Level geography nearly 30 years ago that the watershed runs right through Foulridge (across the main road, just before the Hare & Hounds we were told). Rain that falls on either side of it ends up in either the North Sea or Irish Sea. Why I can remember stuff like th...

The canal has to be kept full of water for obvious reasons. This is done from feeder reservoirs along the route. The canal is essentially a long strip of water passing over the Pennines and its highest part (pool) is near Foulridge. Gravity drags water out of the canal from here to the west and eas...

You can call in to W18, it’s open every day of the week and get a signed copy, if you go weekdays and he is in he will put a personal message to.

Correct. Never seen anything from the club which said that Phase 2 prices would definitely increase, unless Crosspool can point me to where the club stated they would increase. This is a difficult one, people have paid money up front and have been rewarded with a frozen price. I would be phase two,...

I would be for all the proposals except the 3rd. I do not believe that forcing a 51% ownership for Supporter Trusts would necessarily be in the best interests of football!

You would hope so jedi but they’ll strut back in as if nothing has happened I fear although I’ve previously posted that this is an opportunity for the other clubs to regain some of the power.

They wouldn’t dare do that imagine, as fun as it would be.

Well the clubs are skint so a fine just adds to the debt, not good.

Point deduction means they still have the chance to finish top 4 , just adds more of a challenge and they would think a lot harder before trying this again.

I don’t think they would admit it was Boris, not good PR.

Much better to say they listened to the fans. Being a cynic.

I just pray that there are painful sanctions from the Premier League incoming. It can never be forgotten what they tried to do, and they need a huge, painful example making of them.

The fact that the owners of the Shite Six have hidden away whilst they’ve left their managers and players to deal with the outcry will most certainly convince them that the idea of the Super League is nonsense. I think those very actions by the owners, shows it’s for themselves and nobody else. In ...

Yes I get the impression City are getting cold feet, and Pep's interview hardly helped dispel that theory.

Apparently there is a rule that teams have to inform the PL by letter before joining any tournament outside of the current ones.
It appears they feel this rule can be used to hold teams to account.

Interesting stuff coming out on Sky.
The 14 don’t want the 6 to leave the PL.

However if they stay they are not prepared to work with several of the execs of the 6 and they would not be welcome back.
