Im sorry but this isnt 80 minutes.

It's 640 minutes of pure agony
It's c£140 minimum per fan in tickets (plus flights)

I hate seeing people lose their jobs, its not nice, but at the end of the day, the club is a business. We are losing fans hand over fist at the moment and we need to act fast.

I dont think so.

If he did what he is alledged to have done, then that is bad, but come on...... boozed up mouthers and keyboard warriors wouldnt last a minute with him in a fist fight.

Jimmy Lowes is not Chuck Norris

I personally know a supporter he has told to Eff off for simply saying "some game that Jimmy" and that supporter was about 10 stone wet through and had his kids with him...

when He finds the nearest meat head and offers him out then fair do's....

if you've ever played the game those with the biggest mouths are not always the hardest.... I know I used to be...ahem ....er... play with one....

In this current economic climate to say ‘your going to get the sack’ for 80mins is very shameful. For those Wakefield fans currently out of work stood on the terraces it must have been annoying.

If someone would of said that to me I may of not have been as tolerant. He’s probably got a wife and kids to support like the rest of us??

Come on guys cut the man some slack

You MUST be related to Lowes.

Its time to STOP accepting mediocrity.

What Lowes failed to realise however was that all he was doing was getting himself wound up and not doing his job, and that is coaching his team. I expect he had little chance to analyse his team's performance because he was paying too much attention to the chanting from the terraces, which did exactly what was intended, put him off.

yep agreed this is not the first time he has lost it , basically he cannot cut it at this level he is the face of the club thats his job.

Disgrace complete disgrace

In this current economic climate most of us don't get the sack for being crap at their jobs, people get the sack because the company is cutting costs and are making posts redundant. And the redundancy pay they get will be pittance compared to the compensation Lowes will get if the board sack him and pay his contract up.

So its nothing like the problems other people face in the recession.

If he doesn't like the fact that people will get on his case for losing eight in a row (isnt that now Warringtons worst ever run in SL?) then coaching in professional sport isn't for him.

If he got sacked he would have his contract paid up so no worries.
If needs be, he would flip burgers at mcdonalds.

Lowes doesn't believe himself to represent the club and town, clear in his demeanour and attitude to fans/ press etc is not suitable for a team with high inspirations. If he was threatening fans it needs to be acted upon.

As for dealing with press, i would love to do Garys job interviewing James next week.

He will probably be punished with a new two year contract.

I'd like to close this post with a final comment,
Lowes out.

If Warrington had done a proper job in the appointment of a new coach after Cullen we would not be even discussing this.

If the criteria was listed then Jimmy would not have made the shortlist.

Personally I have never liked the appointment of assistant coaches in any sport and can't really recall any sucess stories. OK, Liverpool had the Shankly, Paisley, Fagan production line but thats about it.

Even Salford didn't give him the job after they sacked Karl Harrison.

The key point is Jimmy didn't give himself the job. he was appointed by others. If a vacancy came available at any club and I mean any club, would Lowes now or 6 months ago be considered for the job.
