How long before the honeymoon is over for James Brent..

James Brent clearly has his man in CF, the very best we can expect this season is to stay in this League by the skin of our teeth,which is a big ask with the current regime.By Just staying in the League was/is of course JB plan all along so he can concentrate on property/money making schemes while his spin doctor Webb fills the rest of us with bullshit about Forza Nerd, giant flags, Aviva fests, jester hats, pilgrim pasties and stupid family zones, the more astute like most of us on ATD have always seen through Brents plan from day 1, the dullards over on the farm are only just starting to wake up and smell the coffee it seems, although the terminally tinted are doing their best to crush the mutiny.

I did laugh at the head of compliance late last night, ploughing a lone furrow. Comical Ali would have been soooo proud

There aint many now sticking up for Argyle/Fletcher/Brent after last night's performance,even the most Aviva of Avivas are quiet.

There was bound to be a period of love-in for Brent as there always is for any new owner of a club. Well maybe not always but nearly all anyway. Last season, given the start we had, was a backs to the wall fight and plenty of people could not see past survival in the football league. In itself that is perhaps quite understandable. However, any honeymoon period ended when the season ended and the incoming squad was seen to be poor or at least thought to be poor.

I don't think Brent has anymore honeymoon period except by the real diehard anything is ok people. He will be judged now on where the team are in the league. If we were winning and playing badly then people would be more forgiving but to be losing and playing badly will not endear him to many. I don't think his tenure at Argyle has anything to do with outside interests or deals. Fans will judge him on the side's success or failure on the pitch. I would suggest the natives are already restless and this will only get more so if things continue as they are. How he responds will be the litmus test when only failure becomes more obvious to even the least knowledgable football person.
