Complain about the people who you hope to persuade to become your customers and are reliant upon for future support and sustainable success?

That's a sure fire brilliant business model.

Not.

Reading between the lines, I read that article as preparing the fan base for the possible loss of one or two of our better players but hopefully the money received will be reinvested in other players.The trick is to find players of a similar or better standard. Then knit those new players into the team immediately because we can't afford to have a bedding in period for new players. Of course players of a similar standard are growing on trees aren't they.

Conclusion...... don't lose the players in the first place! Easier said than done.

Not according to the motorway driving mobile phone using moron it isn't. Janners are to blame.

Those pesky customers. They just don't deserve a good product.

Brent is testing the water with these comments. Is the water too hot?

At the end of the day will the fans accept losing Reuben, Carey, Nelson etc. as strictly business, and move on, or are fans going to campaign to get the ignorant, ambitionless, asset stripping numpty out of the club? (and before he buys the stadium, preferably).

If Brent sells, and these comments to me indicate they know the weight of the bids and have already deliberated on it, then aside from eye wateringly large figures we do seriously need to have a think about what we are doing with this football club.

Any more 'Hourihaning' (selling your best player for 1/10th of what Exeter sell their best player for) then covering it up with a load of bullshit about not wanting to sell, needs to be exposed for what it is this time: the board unable to resist the fast buck over any conceivable long term strategy.

To be honest if the injury prone Reid was sold for £250K in January and Adams brought down a good replacement from Scotland who was likely to play week in week in I could stomach that. It does read a little that we should be prepared for the exit of a player possibly but with the unbudgeted income that has come into the club thus far this season I would hope and assume there would be a net investment in the playing squad by the end of the transfer window.

For 'Resurgam' read 'Regurgitate'...................same old Argo.

It's a generational thing. It usually takes two successful Argyle teams to be sold off for the innocent fan to twig the Argyle raison d'etre.  Here's a clue..... it involves a Saturday lunchtime dining table, bottled water and a chirp. Under Brent, the team hasn't even been successful once yet, just a small sniff for 3 months that they might be, and the speculating owner is talking of selling players already
I suppose in the cold light of day, Argyle can't really compete at this standard. Too many clubs up the line like Accrington or Cheltenham with far greater ambition. Should be a larf in the pub though, when you see a poor old be-shirted Sir Francis trooping in, post match, with a glum face. "What was that, again, about going up as feckin champions, Frank ?"
Always worth a jibe when you see a green shirt. No wonder so many young lads, these days, bypass the local squire's witterings and take a punt on a national tv football brand. You're not going to attract a whole lot of girls wearing funny specs with a green shirt with Bond Timber scrawled all over it. They might just think you're a plank. Next worst thing to holding your mother's hand.
