That ones not true, odeon are the only confirmed tenant at this time.

How do you know that (please)?

Waitrose cider! On the wrong thread Pokesdown.

Well I'm convinced there's something to all of this and it's just another huge kick in the nuts for ordinary residents and businesses in Plymouth from someone who can pretty much do as he pleases in the city.

I think this could well tie in with Newell rejoining the AFT because the HHP plans look to have fallen through in my opinion. Brent hasn't got the money is how I see it and the lip quivering has come to an end.

I expect Mr Brent is now looking to exit asap and that means any manner of jockeying for position behind the scenes, hence Newell's recent change of heart about the AFT and subtle distancing of himself from Brent.

This could also tie in with the other strong rumour doing the rounds about a consortium wanting to buy Brent out?

I reckon there are so very worrying times ahead for the club again and the buckets may well be needed before too long.

Right. So this development which Plymouth needs so badly the Council's had to walk all over its own policies, so badly we've got to accept a permanently restricted capacity, so badly the consultation process had to be stitched up, so badly that when some good people got together to talk about it their meeting had to be disrupted by   and his mob, so badly anybody with the teeniest bit of principles had to be pilloried for objecting to it ... you get my drift ... This development which Plymouth needs so badly hasn't got shops and food outlets and hotels and uncle Tom wossname and all queueing up for the sniff of a chance of moving in?

No surprise there, then. It's a park, FFS, and even if our leaders don't think that matters I bet some of these companies do. (Only because they won't make any money there, mind.)

No idea the future.

Whilst a halt to current developments sounds promising, Brent still owns a chunk of land that will hinder PAFC. It'll cost the locals a huge amount to buy this back which I doubt Farmer Brent will be interested. He could even set up a piggery (ok, I dont know the laws for sure here, if any exist now or future) to show what a farmer he really is.

He has us over a barrell in more ways than just a football club.

I don't actually care what he does on the land, so long as he builds a stand worthwhile. But at the moment he is doing the bare minimum on and off the pitch as far as the football club is concerned

There won't be any grandstand built in the foreseeable future if we can't afford to pay the rent and rates. Or is it that Mr Brent feels he should be exempt from paying these taxes in his own kingdom?

What would someone who really loved Plymouth think about it? Someone really proud of their city and everything to do with it would surely be outraged by this?

I don't understand how is getting away without paying rent /rates etc etc ????

Does Cameron love UK. Does Tudor love Plymouth.

I can only see a lack of investors blocking developments, not people who care because he's behind on the rent.

If PAFC are behind on the rent then it's time to be evicted, not given time to expand what you can't afford.

about time the fans went about trying to evict brent

lets find out if the rumour has merit before jumping off the deep end.

Who is supposed to be involved in this ?

Any consortium wishing to buy out Brent would have to go a lot further than paying the rent, IMO

Carslberg dont do rumors................

If you were an investor why would you be looking to buy Argyle when it has no assets, vast debts and is running at a loss? I'm sorry to say that this just looks like fanciful wishful thinking to me. Why do so many seem to abandon all logic and wet their knockers in excitement every time the word consortium gets used?

Other than that there is every chance that the HHP plan will fall through. I've said more than once that the plan wouldn't collapse because of my objection or the grumblings on a messageboard but that it would collapse because the plan is a complete pile of shit that would implode due to its own rubbishness.

Brent does have planning permission in place, that much is true, but McCauley had that way back and he didn't ever build anything. Maybe Brent won't.

Yup, that's how I see it.

There seem to be a lot of underhand dealings taking place at this club once again.

I was told a few days ago that a certain well know figure at the club has been going wild via text and email with rumours trying to discredit John Sheridan.

This is where the rumours of him being part time came from in the first place.

And now we have this rumour of the non paying of rates/rent. Either things are very very wrong at the club or someone is trying to set someone up for a fall by them publishing the so called rumours.

No one with half a brain would think of buying or investing in this club. Thanks to James Brent's greed once he goes the club is totally fecked.

The only way one buyer/investor would entertain getting involved with the club is if he plans to move the club to a new stadium within the city. Only by doing that can this club ever grow as a club. Once again thanks to Brent's greed with the help of sheep that sold out their principles for 30 pieces of silver Home Park will be a retail complex not a football stadium.

Maybe he's realised, he's already said too much ?

What a wonderfully transparent club and control group we have

i bet i can guess who it is  

Speccy and his fan club have gone very quiet about the shit in the park scheme, it not going to happen i reckon!

What a load of rubbish. I would be highly surprised if PCC would answer this in a freedom of information request - I don't think FoIs even cover financial payments. It's not a very good rumour and doesn't have any substance other than, "I've heard".

In other rumours, James Brent was at El Classico yesterday as he's going to be bringing Bale back to English football - we need another player who plays out of position and doesn't score.

There's rarely smoke without fire, with regard the usual suspects at the Theatre of Schemes.
