Totally different situations HC.
That was Lowe’s first season as a manager. Last seasons was Adams’ 4th just at Argyle. Lowe inherited a Bury side struggling & full of players he didn’t want, whereas Adams signed every player in last seasons team and the year before we’d finished 7th.
I was behind Adams for longer than most, pretty much up until the latter stages of last season, but it became clear that the situation was irreversible, as was the atmosphere, team morale, the fans-manager relationship, the media-manager relationship etc all seemed at an all time low, a change had to be made. Had a change not been made, not only would results have potentially continued to suffer, but ST sales would have suffered as well, the general mood around the club would have been a negative one going into a new season.
Simon Hallett did not panic, he made the right decision, and now we’ve got a good, young, ambitious manager we should ALL be getting behind, and the mood around the club feels upbeat.
