@RickSlayerBloke Genuine question, what would you do differently? Big crowds will always be the main income driver unless we have our own sugar daddy - which we obviously don't.

Knock on affect being higher prices for us fans and no doubt a huge reduction in season ticket sales which will short pocket the club next season. Clubs got far too comfortable relying on sell out crowds. This was so clear 6 months ago

Hard working local people are going to loose their jobs because some pig headed clown who claims to be a local while living 6000 miles away thought he knew football #pafc

Protest movement ‘Action For Argyle’ are calling for ‘as many fans as possible to not take their seat until the 10th minute’ when Argyle host Rotherham. Thoughts, Greens? Will you be joining in? 🤔 #pafc

@DevonportDreams So you're planning to protest at 7 years of ownership when for 5 of those years league position improved year upon year and we won a league title? Things aren't great now, but this is a terrible idea. Don't think you'll have many takers.

Time to act with our feet. If no changes have been made by the Bradford game we have to protest and make our voices heard. First 7 minutes under the terraces for Hallets 7 years in charge (and the 7 games without a win that it will be by then)? #pafc

@AwayArmy @NikArgyle We've definitely brought players down very recently even with the current setup. The category does make a difference as cat 2 status means a better standard, better opposition and better development of players. Sadly nothing will ever stop Premier League academies stealing talent

@PurpleSlug1979 @NikArgyle I am aware that there are numerous levels to an academy, I also understand the difference in categories. We’ve lost players to top academies over the years and been unable to bring players down; the category in which the academy is considered to be means squat to families.

@AwayArmy @NikArgyle You've got that wrong. The academy has teams from U8 to U18, they just don't have a permanent home. Besides it'll make us upgrade from Cat 3 to Cat 2. No one needs to move to Devon, they're here and in Cornwall already.

@NikArgyle An academy that won’t be able to pull anyone in due to location even more so than the first team squad, in addition to the fact (as much as I hate to admit it) if anyone’s moving to Devon to play for an academy here, it will be those lot up the road.

@Had_enough_onX @Aaronpress1 @FeedTheSpud General feeling on X has been that more money should have been put aside for the first team, not just this year but while we were in the championship too. If you think I’m a mega div for just echoing what a lot of others have said then you crack on, I couldn’t care less

@LeighRapson @FeedTheSpud This is the problem Leigh, those that call for the Chairman to spend HIS money don't read anything at all. It's draining.

@FeedTheSpud It’s not costing anything additional. Try reading some of the chairman’s chats. The budget was based on investors, that didn’t happen so money was spent last year, they’ve put it back in using additional funds this year

@palmerjp89 Jay (hello mate!) you realise that's a different budget? I.e. it's not from money that ever would have been available for the first team? I don't get why people are so against something that will have huge long term benefits, while we've still got a good budget in the short term

@vbtspafc We'll agree to disagree. In my opinion he's the best owner we've ever had. There's loads more people accountable for this mess than him I'd say. I'm sure however we'll agree that things need to change for the better very, very quickly.

@PurpleSlug1979 Can’t really see a lot he’s done right, certainly on the field. I think he was lauded as the time of the 101 point season, but it’s pretty obvious where the majority of the credit should’ve gone for that. We’d be in a far better place now if he’d have been re-hired too

Hallett this is all on you. A man that got lucky when Bury imploded. Remember Lowe told us we had no identity when he came in. He instilled that and Schuey took it to the next level. Since then it’s been a joke, highlighted with the failure to reappoint him #pafc

@vbtspafc So he's at fault for absolutely everything then? In that case he can have all the credit for winning League 1 with 101 points. Schuey absolutely would've taken us down as well.

@PurpleSlug1979 Who’s at fault then? Who oversaw the appointment of Rooney, Foster? Who was Muslic referring too when he said he needed help? Why did Schuey leave? Why did we fail to sign Azaz? Who “took the risk” and failed to appoint Schuey despite his keen interest to return?

@troyhill91 Muslic would've been a good appointment, he was however a cock. There's no doubt mistakes have been made, I'm absolutely no happy clapper. For me though he deserves much more respect than he's getting. Fox & Randle are those that need to step up. Bad times nonetheless👍

@PurpleSlug1979 Its tough mate as there is no doubt that the club is in a place in which we would never be without him Buutttt He fell on his feet with Bury going to shit and since then I would argue that he hasn’t made a single football decision which has benefited the club and that football

Go one down early on Tuesday and Home Park will be at its volatile best! Hallett, Parkinson, Fox, Randle and any other morons driving this club deserve every single piece of abuse coming their way! Havn’t looked forward to an evening game as much as this in years! 👊🏼 #pafc

@troyhill91 He's put in £30 million of his own money mate. That's half his reported personal fortune. Point 1 - can't disagree with you. Point 2 - I believe it was. Point 3 - not all gains from player sales, only those that were in the "player investment fund" he put money into.

@PurpleSlug1979 How can you not feel like a customer? Hallett isn’t one of us he never was, the bloke has manipulated and lied to all of us this last 18 months. Rooney wasn’t a PR exercise ❌ Investment is close ❌ All gains from transfer sales will be reinvested into the first team❌

@vbtspafc My head isn't in the sand mate, it's an absolute shambles at the minute. Just don't see how it's all on Hallett. He employs people to spend the cash and they haven't. We've been told that finance isn't the issue regarding lack of recruitment. Hallett doesn't select Palsson either

@PurpleSlug1979 Absolute waffle. He fronts this, he makes the statements “sustainable championship club club” “top 6 budget” - he’s totally out of his depth, hiring people like Rooney and Foster prove this, and now we have a decent head coach he’s failing to back him. Take your head out the sand

@Chris_Webb1 What would be the point of that type of communication though? Ask the fans for patience? Clearly there isn't any from many fans on X regardless of what the club do.Personally I don't need weekly updates.

Just come out and say “relegation is hard. We aren’t the biggest club so players won’t sign for us at champ level without them so we are going to see a massive rebuild. But rest assured, Tom Cleverley will get every single penny to reinvest in a team that we believe can compete for promotion. We ask the fans for patience and it will be rewarded.” #pafc

Maxi was always going to go. He only signed with strict release clause in contract. Much bigger problem is consistently appalling communications from Argyle. 24/7 News for ex pros and YouTubers having a kickabout in USA but silent on issues fans really care about. So basic #pafc

All three sides promoted to the Premier League last season played at home this weekend. All three conceded four goals and as for the table…yet according to the Premier League the competitive balance between the two divisions is good

@Chris_Webb1 He wants to leave because he's spineless. A one trick pony who has only really shown he can produce it for Schumacher. A legend of PAFC he is not. Cash in and good riddance.

Not a fan by any means of what Whittaker has done. But this is the same bloke who forced a move to be with us. He turned down Lazio and Rangers to come to us. He isn’t wanting to leave out of disloyalty. He wants to leave because we are a complete shambles #pafc
