Hi all This is my first ever post on an Argyle board anywhere. I have often watched from the sidelines and saw many of you over on the old 606 discussing the Mighty Greens. I'm a little ashamed to say I have lost track of things a little over the last few months with regards to ins and outs at Argyle and current status of events regarding takeover due to more pressing matters in my personal life. Can anyone give me a quick run down of who's left and who hasn't and of any important news/events I should probably know about that I may not know about already. I get the impression that everything is as I last left it but would really appreciate a recap from you all if you have the time Also, I have always lived in deepest, darkest Cornwall and have always worked weekends but with that due to change from September I'm hoping to be able to come up to Home Park on as many Saturdays as possible and cheer on the boys as they (hopefully!) push for a speedy bounce back to League 1 next season. Info on ticket prices/best seating areas at Home Park would be great. Last time I was there I was standing in the Devonport End! We've gone full circle since then league position wise! Appreciate you all reading and many thanks for any forthcoming information. Best cornishpilgrim
You haven't missed much, honest. Outs: The entire board of directors. Nine members of their first-team squad, with Stephane Zubar the only out of contract player offered a new deal. Rory Fallon, Karl Duguid, Chris Clark, Anton Peterlin, Kristian Timar and Luke Summerfield all released. Jim Paterson, Marcel Seip and Steve Maclean have also left the club. Ins: Err an administrator and Peter Ridsdale Boring being an Argyle fan isn't it?
Hiya mate welcome Pretty good summary from NotDG, who is really, very things up in the air until the mystery Irish reveal themselves.
Must be wonderful having access to the superhighway known as the internet where you are. The stagecoach mail must take ages to get there. Forgot to mention back to back relegations just incase the horse died and the pidgeon took the wrong turning.
Welcome cornish, hope you enjoy this site. Well its all been summed up above not much more to add, we await an announcement on our new owners.
Oh and a good joke is always ruined by being too late - but far more "Outs" in the financial department than "Ins".
Welcome Cornishpilgrim. I see you have been kept up to speed on our situation by some of my virtual friends, but nobody has informed you of the full facts. You see we were told long long ago by a world renowned football expert, King Devonsurfer, that we were a bit poo and all we had to do was sign Messi, Ronaldo, Xavi, Iniesta and Karl Duguid, and lure Sir Alex Ferguson to Devon with the promise of and endless supply of stopwatches that always showed Fergie time. We asked King Devonsurfer how we could afford these superstars on crowds of 14,000, but he called us skeptics and heretics because he had a secret dossier that held the formula for instant success. We asked King Devonsurfer where he had obtained the secret dossier, and King Devonsurfer told us all about his wonderous life which had so far taken him into the navy for 15 years, the SAS for 10 years, running a multi million pound business empire for 20 years and all this whilst surfing the Amazon on an ironing board and being James Bond, and he was still in his early twenties! When we refused to proclaim him King of the waves and couldnt learn to blank out trivialities such as why the **** would Messi swap life in the Nou Camp and £100k a week, for another i.o.u. this month and an Ivor Dewdney pasty once a week, King Devonsurfer placed a spell on the club which saw us fall asleep at crucial moments in games and suffer back to back relegation. Now the spell is starting to wear off and a knight on a white horse called Ridsdale is coming to rescue us, and promises the likes of Messi in the January transfer window, as long as we pay up front for a 10 year season ticket! Sounds good to me. Finally Home Park is to be renamed Camelot, The National Lottery having paid this months gas bill to ease the burden on Sir Peter Reid, and the new club mascot is a one eyed, deaf, diabetic black cat on crutches called Lucky. So thats pretty much were Argyle are at the moment. Owned by Paddy O'Nonymous and heading for The Conference, but at least all the best films will be available in 3D at the new multiplex cinema being built in the car park.
Thanks everyone for your kind welcomes and for getting me up to speed. Seems that I haven't missed a lot after all, based on the facts stated and not greenjock's colourful epic (which I must admit I enjoyed thoroughly and will quite possibly read again shortly as a bed time story). I see that most of our back line has disappeared in a puff of smoke as has most of our team really. Who the bloody hell is left? The youth team I'm guessing? Rory Fallon is a welcome departure. Never rated him and all in all found his performances frustrating. I'm mortified by the fact that Ridsdale is actually now fully involved in the future of Argyle. How did this happen?! The guys a crook and a business crippler. God help us all. sensible, I can't even begin to tell you how out of the loop we are down here. We only got Terminator 2 at the cinema last Wednesday. Maybe I'll just move to Plymouth and take advantage of this new 'multiplex' greenjock speaks of whilst going to games. Sounds positively futuristic. Thanks all for your time and look forward to a good old banter on here in weeks/years/months to come. Over.
