According to the "Swansea Live" local paper, we've told Swansea that Joe Low isn't for sale this month.

Pure uneducated guesswork time:

We were only ever going to sell Joe Low if a replacement could be found, and the deals for Lloyd Jones from Charlton and others have failed to materialise meaning that we've decided not to sell, which we're allowed to do

Hopefully Joe can go on to finish what he's started and play a starring role in our ascent to the Championship. I don't doubt his character for one second, and even if he is disappointed I can't imagine that he would ever give less than his all in a Wycombe shirt

The idea that we all welcomed the shadowy ownership group with no worries or criticism and are now wailing pathetically about being tricked is as inaccurate as the idea Rob Couhig was universally loved and no-one except the very, very clever ever raised any concerns. Nobody on here is as entirely stupid as some people like to paint them and we are allowed to be alarmed at the possibility that our presently quite successful manager was eased towards the door.

Exactly this.

At work, I have a team I work with, I love working with them. I also have customers and stakeholders who I love working with. I have the autonomy to work with them in a certain way that I've built up over the years and my line manager let's me get on with it, as long as the business objectives are met.

Sometimes that manager changes and can come in and change the ways of working, take away your autonomy, remove you from decision making processes. It doesn't change how I feel about who I work closely with in my team, doesn't necessarily change the relationship with my customers and stakeholders but it does change how I feel about my job and what's important to me.

After awhile, regardless of everything else, you've just had enough of the new line manager and you hope for your old line manager or that the new one buggers off. If you know they're not going anywhere soon, you make the difficult choice to move somewhere else in the company or go external.

MBs new one is not going anywhere soon, he cannot go anywhere else internally so he's gone external. I don't blame him.

I suspect MB loves the fans, loves the team, loves his staff but couldn't align to the new regime so he's gone to report into someone that has those old values, trusts him to deliver and gives him the autonomy to do so. I do not blame him, I tip my hat to him to be brave enough to leave his true love.

I do hope we see more than the current statement from the club but I won't hold my breath.

@TheAndyGrahamFanClub I advise you stop reading posts on this thread. You'll feel much better.

I too would love to see Schumacher in the job.

I think however it will be some unexpected left field appointment of someone with a significant prior involvement in youth level/academy (inc U21) management as that seems to fit the stated direction of travel/key driver of the "ownership team".

He's still got a chance of getting a medal at the end of the season before leaving on a free hasn't he?

I find that comment quite disrespectful to Joe Low

Just back to the days when someone valued leaves they are celebrated on the official website please. (Unless it’s the week for cleaning the office of course.)
