Ryan Lowe was not a lucky signing. Signing him wasa no brainer. Didn't take a shrewd manager to see he had goals in him.
I meant lucky in that a team like Preston, Bradford or possibly Rotherham didn't try to sign him, or not that I'm aware of. Preston and Bradford would be less than 90 minutes drive away from Merseyside and have bigger budgets and depending on the distance Rotherham might have interested Lowe, if they had made an approach.
Tranmere were a bit lucky that he chose to leave MK for personal reasons, as the loan deal they wanted last season didn't happen and may well not have happened if he were still there now.
He's a brilliant player and has done well, and I believed he would from the get go, despite some failing to believe he was still a form player and making out in some cases, that his Bradford goal was a flash of brilliance, from someone showing glimpses of who he no longer was.
The truth is though if anyone thinks this could be a more long-term reality, to get form strikers at low cost, then it's won't be until a rich man takes over, even if the club could offer the next guy another £2,000-£3,000 a week from the new financial initiatives, it would still be unlikely.
Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.
