Got a feeling he could be at Argyle for a long time. In that time he will achieve something no other Argyle manager has ever done.

Absolutely. My thread was entitled ‘succession planning’ but was rightly merged. I was more interested in who people saw as options IF there was a change.
That said I really think SS is here long term. Very long term
If managers genuinely leave for bigger and better things I’m OK with it, for example if West Brom or Sheffield United or someone like that came in for Schumacher, but Preston just said to me that Lowe was itching to head back up north and it didn’t really matter who came in for him.

It was/is not that case, we all know why he went back up north. He would still be here in my opinion if the circumstances was different. Glad we’ve got Schumacher in charge
Schuey completely won me over in the Argyle podcast he did barely a week before Lowe scarpered. Well worth a listen if it's still available. He was relaxed, funny, thoughtful, articulate, and obviously very happy here. Without in any way bragging or 'dis-ing' RL it was obvious he was the thinker and Lowe the front man whose strength was the man-management side.
He modestly mocked himself for how he was constantly thinking about the game and found it hard to switch off .... he mentioned being told off by his wife for drawing team formations and patterns of play in the steam on the glass in the shower at home. 😆 He said how much he loved working with players and trying to come up with new training schemes ("sometimes they work, sometimes they don't").
What I particularly liked was the way he raved about the area - not just the city but the region. He was happy to name check pubs, restaurants and favourite spots he liked.... in sharp contrast to RL who said he would relocate but never did. When the news of RL going broke I wasn't that surprised but would have been totally shocked if Schuey had gone with him. He didn't of course. Talk about a 'silver lining' !!!... It worked out perfectly for us I reckon. Top man .... I sooo much want him to suceed.

I also think he knows there’s a good possibility that our American investors might be giving more money in the future and Argyle really are going places..
Shuey will pass Lowe on the way down at some point.

Will be interesting to see how we deal with the inevitable offers, does SH have a plan to keep him in this case ? For me he needs to complete a project to get that confidence in his methods, getting us promoted would give him that. Then only if we had significant financial backing would he stay IMO.
If our manager is as intelligent as he seems, he will think twice or more about going
to a dysfunctional club that is living on past glories, has owners that know little
or anything about football, and/or has unrealistic expectations. The natives are
getting restless at Preston, and I think it very likely that Lowe will be looking for
work again before the season is out.

I know it’s early days but why not secure and reward SS for the good start with a new long term deal.
