| In five years Brent hasn't even caught up with general maintenance. The trust is needed more than ever. |

| Rather sickening thought that come Seasons end and hopefully promoted the amount of Flag Waving and Brown Nosing in Jimmys honour will be hard to stomach. As before we wont be Promoted because of Brent, but in spite of him Nools tongue will be Rancid with Sores..... |

What a shame no one else at the club gave a shit until now.
And don't forget to send the inflated and unitemised bill to the Trust for payment. Yeah, well done. A magnificent achievement. Whose job was it anyway to maintain and tidy that room up? What happened to them? Maybe Jon B would like to appear and tell us - he had no problem turning back up here for a split second to use the site when he got the job at the club. |

| It shows how Village Jimmy's Toadies are when painting a room is seen as a celebration! when the Heroic Back sort out the chaos outside if Argyle get more than eight thousand then we'll declare three days public holiday to celebrate, or if Saint Jimmy sign's a player on a permenent contract! Plymouth IS Englands biggest Village without a doubt, nowhere else would tolerate these Muppets. |

- Nothing should surprise us though, should it?
When someone with zero professional football administration experience can brown-nose his way to a position like Club Secretary, it screams 'jobs for the boys'.
Only at Brent's Argyle. Corporate Governance = How to keep the Avivas in the dark and under control, doing odd jobs/rattling buckets for a sniff of recognition at the Theatre of Schemes. |

| This is a bit odd, isn't it?
The media room gets swept out, possibly painted and a few ads put up to cover any damaged bits of wall and we are supposed be impressed? "Club does routine tidy up" is hardly front page news in anybody's book.
I might have got this all completely wrong though. They might have set up brand new internet links for the visiting hacks and now have a telecommunications centre that NASA would be proud of but, somehow, I suspect that this is not the case.
Another aspect to this is the importance placed on creating a good impression to visitors which at least marks a welcome change in attitude to that exhibited when the art deco facade needed a lick and a promise. Then it was a case of go hang until AFT stepped in to sort it out.
It's almost as if there is no top down, coherent, joined-up vision or direction of travel at all, the club is flying by the seat of its pants and relying on goodwill coupled with ad hoc decision making.
It must be far harder to run a football club than any of us can even begin to imagine. It makes me wonder how big, complicated organisations like supermarkets, schools, hospitals or the milllitary manage. |

| SFD has a point. The Manager of Tesco's at Lee Mill runs a bigger business than Argyle. |

Political climate will always affect "business". And so it should. All economics students are taught that basic premise. In so may industries, politics is as potent as most other factors in the supply and demand curve. Eating well, living dry, IS politics. I would have lived for ever if I hadn't died. |

| One day Argyle will wave goodbye to Brent, and with thanks ringing in his ears [sic] , he will hastily depart HP for the final time. In doing so, he will close an awkward period in Argyle history. He will go down in the annuls of time as the Chairman who was not a football fan (really) and only keeping the club alive via a drip feed. He will also have the tag of being the Chairman who was in charge of the longest spell in the basement league by a Plymouth Argyle side (which will hopefully end in May with promotion to L1). As for the Grandstand fiasco, he will become known as the Chairman who failed miserably in not supplying a new shiny Grandstand due to self interest.
When a new owner eventually arrives at HP (and they would need to be very footbally savvy) that will be a day to rejoice. I long for that day to arrive soon.

| Promotion (?) coming, big crowds, decent revenue and the place looks a dump. What will be even worse will be no players under contract. That must be a first. A football club with no players. |

| At best, his intention was to box the club in, get a ministand built with other peoples' money, then profit himself from the retail rentals,
As long as his jamboys could find a generous benefactor to pay him off with some cash too, they'd get to run the village show and have bragging rights over all the other lower league minnows through the shiny little stadium.Think they all thought they'd nikked one lol. |
