Lowe Reactions
RYAN Lowe’s appointment as new Argyle Manager in June has been greeted with much optimism after his free-flowing style worked wonders at Bury last season, gaining them promotion to League One.
Those of a green persuasion hope a similar brand will grace the Home Park surface in the not too distant future. Here are some thoughts from ex-players, media and fans over Ryan’s appointment
“Ryan had done an unbelievable job and it was no surprise to me that he had options elsewhere.” Former striker Andy Bishop
“I’ve got close friends still at Bury and they all say the same thing about him, the person he is, the manager that he is, and that has transpired all season with the morale and togetherness within the squad.” Former defender, Tom Kennedy
The hashtag AllSystemsLowe, which was trending nationally on Twitter during the week, enhanced the excitement among the Green Army and fans have had their say on the new man in charge.
