Jo said: “I am so proud to be part of the Board of Plymouth Argyle to support the club in its continuing quest in becoming one of the very best community football clubs in the country.”

Welcome to Home Park, Jane and Jo.

Plenty of Uni and NHS people on the board now. Could be useful if we ever end up being turned into a training hospital.

Seems jimmy made a couple of pals when he was on the uni & NHS boards then by the looks of it

Instead of getting business people with money to invest on board, jimmy gets a couple of NHS penpushers to give us that PC glow!!!!.... wake me up when the Brentmare is over.

They just couldnt resist jimmys chrisma and good looks he must have em under the same spell as porky when he looked in his eyes..lol

thats the point I've always made about community Si , If he is such a fan where was he , When we needed money before Brent.
Its all a sham, Back to the directors when are we appointing the black amputee lesbian ?

Jobs for the girls?

Are these two ladies known to Brent due to his previous business connections? Is he filling the board with lackeys after a falling our with Starnes?

On a side note: I noticed this is the bio for Chafer: "Jane joined the University of Sheffield in 2004 as Director of Marketing, rebranding the University." I actually worked at Sheffield University a bit after that, and the 'rebranding' was viewed very negatively. Like most rebrandings it was viewed as a complete waste of money, instigated solely to give pen-pushers and management consultants a reason to justify their salaries.

Have they already started the rebranding, what with the lighter colour green on the season ticket booklets? (and stickers on seats and steel girder adverts and posters etc)

Is there anyone on the board with any footballing experience?

The “he/she has always bled green” is becoming a bit of a piss take. Todd, Webb, Hallet and now these two. Now my attendance has dipped in recent years but I could recognise and nod at the faces throughout late 80’s and 90’s. I don’t recognise any of these and they are in my age group.

If they have genuine talent to bring, then fine but just don’t spin they are Argyle fans, for the sake of it.

They'll have always been bigger fans than you Dick, by the end of the season. It's insulting.

Maybe these long lost lifelong fans could ask dear James at the next board meeting when he is going to make a start on the 'new' stand.

And do they know about all the bullying that goes on?

I bet they aren't posters on here........

Did they play a major part in in the war? Have they rattled buckets? Are they regulars at fansfests? Have they participated in auctions? Nah.

neither have money to invest or know anything about football.

PERFECT for Brent.

The fact they are women means Brent will get a spacker badge for hiring them even if it has taken him a YEAR to do it. Im sure they will get paid the same which will be jack shit im sure lol.

Thought directors were asked for a 50k investment?

Just when we thought things couldn't get any more amateur. Fine people I'm sure but appointment of non-football, non-business NHS and Plymouth Uni/Exeter Uni administrators just 100% confirms brent's total non-ambition for Argo. As well as Community Si we also now have Community Jo.

PAFC is most definitely in the wrong hands

BRENT OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wondering at what level they will they engage with the site owner and leader of the Janner nation, they might perhaps be wondering who that big chap is sittiing on the steps next to the Brent box on match days, assuming of course they go to matches being lifelong fans and all that.

So neither have any experience whatsoever of running a football club and bring nothing monetarily to the table.

I can imagine the welcome from Jon Back & Co....

“Hi girls! Yeah none of us had ever done any football administration at all either. Don’t worry though, just keep smiling and saying ‘Yes’ to James, and we’ll all muddle through somehow”.

Box ticking exercise. Nothing more. How depressing.
