Sixteen months after we became champions of what used to be called division 2, our opponents in the game which saw us reach that summit lie bottom of the entire football league, 4 points adrift with one point from 9 games.Players have been unpaid for months now as takeover plans have failed to come to fruition. And now this morning theyve sacked their manager, one Mr P Reid, formerly of Albainia-on-Wear...sacked for a poor run of results apparently, by (you'll never guess, top man at a crisis hit club) Peter fuckin Ridsdale :lol:

Peter Reid sacked as manager of Plymouth Argyle

 

The financially-stricken club are bottom of League Two with one point from nine games and lost 2-0 at Southend on Saturday.

 

"Peter has had to put up with more in a short period of time than most managers have to put up with in a whole career," acting chairman Peter Ridsdale said.

 

"Ultimately, whatever the challenges, football is a results business."

 

Peter inherited an unsustainable wage bill and a club that, with the benefit of hindsight, was in financial meltdown

 

Reid took over at the beginning of the 2010-11 season before the financial crisis hit.

 

Plymouth ended up being relegated from League One after being docked 10 points for going into administration. The points total achieved would have been enough to Plymouth to stay up otherwise.

 

Despite months of talks, the future of the club has still not been resolved.

 

Earlier this week, Devon-based businessman James Brent was said to be on course to take over the club.

 

The hotelier had spent the week talking to stakeholders as his Akkeron Group weighed up a bid.

 

Brent's bid is supported by Argyle's players and fan groups. A rival bid from Gibraltar-based consortium Bishop International is still on the table, but any takeover has failed to materialse.

 

In the meantime, staff and players had been working for the last nine months more or less unpaid.

•Thailand national team September 2008 - September 2009

•Plymouth Argyle June 2010 - September 2011

 

 

Players had threatened to go on strike last month after being asked to forgo their pay.

 

When the crisis first hit, Reid paid the heating bill out of his own pocket. He also donated his 1986 FA Cup Final loser's medal to be auctioned to help raise money for the club's unpaid staff.

 

Ridsdale said: "Peter inherited an unsustainable wage bill and a club that, with the benefit of hindsight, was in financial meltdown.

 

"During the last 15 months, Peter has been the ultimate professional.

 

"It is crucial that we give ourselves time to attempt to preserve Football League status and therefore it is felt that a change of manager now is the only option.

 

"Peter leaves with our unreserved thanks for his contribution in helping keep the club alive during this turbulent period and he leaves with our very best wishes for the future."

 

Ridsdale added that an announcement would be made in the next 24 hours on an interim management team. However, Argyle are expected to look to their senior professionals to manage the side until the club are bought out of adminstration

I don't get this bit. It's factually incorrect.

I thought we did become Champions when we beat Plymouth away (they played "We Are The Champions" at full time iirc). It's badly worded though either way.

Am thinking he was on about 92/93. Stupid me.

Winger Jonas Gutierrez has insisted his immediate future is at Newcastle, despite interest from Spanish and Italian clubs.

 

“I always say you never close the door, because football is like that," he said. "But all I can say is that I am happy.”

 

Fellow Argentine Fabricio Coloccini was handed a personalised­ parking space at the training ground this week, labelled ‘Captain’.

 

Gutierrez joked: “I’m coming in early tomorrow to park my car in that bay. It will be mine!”

:lol:

A Prostitute chief executive anyone?

"Striking up a friendship with bla bla aged 45"

 

 

Hmm yes, a friendship you say...

Mansfield Town's new chief executive Carolyn Still is to marry the club's owner John Radford.

 

Still, 29, took up her role earlier this month, insisting her appointment was genuine amid speculation she was in a relationship with chairman Radford.

 

Radford, 45, and Still have refused to comment on their relationship but a club spokesman told BBC Radio Nottingham they are now engaged.

 

Still has previously worked in the fashion industry for Bulgari and Gucci.

RIO Ferdinand yesterday lost a legal bid for damages over a kiss and tell story by an ex-mistress.

 

The Man United star’s case was booted out as a High Court judge ruled that it had been justifiable to question his moral suitability to be England captain.

 

Serial love-cheat Ferdinand had demanded £50,000 from the Sunday Mirror and a worldwide gagging order over an interview with Carly Storey last year in which she claimed to have dated him since he was a teenage star at West Ham.
