Yes, good news this. Shame we couldn't have got Labadie as well because I, like some others, think that we need a more imposing presence in the middle of the park too.

Perhaps he waiting to see where Martin Ling ends up since they seem to follow each other around the football world!

Yes, we have the same response here in Argyle-land where our hardy ban of Gulls supporters are being told that we and Exeter are going down and Argyle will be in the mix for promotion. Don't mind optimism but when its accompanied by glee at our apparent difficulties it does grate. Mind you the main ...

Downes is an excellent CB IMO so really welcome this news.

Oh dear, oh dear. Social-media is awash with people completely taking this incident out of context. I'm not saying anyone here is saying this, but I'll have my say... I'd much rather live in a community of honest law-abiding muslims than a community of naïve, ignorant, opinionated and reactionary ...

Not Robinson. Please. He went missing so often I nearly sent out a search party. Epic in the 5-0 play-off though. But when people have been complaining of Rene's inconsistency and disinterestedness, why bring in another much the same?[/quote] But he has got pace as well as skill on the ball. Pace op...

How about Aldershot at home for worst, best and most important all in one game?

0 - 3 down 5 minutes into the second half - worst

4 - 3 win at the final whistle - best

Had we lost that game we would have been relegated and Shots would have survived - most important!

I remember Danny's first game for the Club - he was on trial in a PSF (can't remember which one) and had a storming game, running rings around his more experienced opposite number. I was so impressed I called out "sign him up Buckle!" At which point PB turned round (I was in the old Grands...

Great news that terms have been agreed so quickly but this is hardly a surprise - I still reckon he had been promised the job when he was called in subject to retaining our league status.

There are some skeletons which will leap out of the cupboard if he goes public against his former employers!

That would probably mean he would never get another management job in football.

I do not expect him to do so, however, because he will almost certainly be bound by a compromise agreement.

Its that time of year again when the forum goes a bit quiet so I thought I would try and liven things up with a rant, a rant that my son puts to me very forcefully. The rant is - why are Clubs allowed to massively overspend and therefore cheat their way to success and then, when they go bust - causi...

I believe Benyon, Jarvis and Yeoman can do a really good job for us up front but we do need more pace on the wings - these are priority areas for me.

I think Fonda is probably close to the mark with his theory that Knill and Brass were incentivised with offers of permanent jobs. If correct, survival was bound to spell the end for ML.

Ling wants his son to tell his son to shut the feck up. Whatever way you want to swing it Lings position at this football club was untenable. After giving Simon Baker a fair bit of stick I would just like to apologise to him, I stood next to him at the Morecambe game and he seems a really nice genu...

Sorry, my writing was ambiguous - I meant the gap between the official capacity and actual attendance!
