Must have mentioned it a million times today, but I was stunned when I saw that Rochdale had signed Zac Clough. An incredibly promising young player who scored consistently at Championship and League 1 level for Bolton and got a big money move to Forest.
Before I continue, I 100% believe that Adams has made big mistakes in the transfer market, so when you combine that underperformance with our pulling power as a club relative to other L1 sides it makes for a pretty ugly prospect.
Looking at it dispassionately, Iâm not entirely sure why you would sign for Plymouth Argyle unless you had no other offers at this level. You have to relocate hundreds of miles away, you wonât be paid a massive amount, and until next season (and thank you James Brent and Halletts :clap: ) your day job takes place in either a crumbling asbestos ruin, or a bunch of portakabins. Iâd be stunned if either of our striking additions received any other League 1 offers, or many of our other signings.
Adams hasnât been able to pull a Carey, Jervis or Bradley out of the hat this time and he definitely deserves criticism for his judgement and our chronic displays on the pitch, but there are other issues that have hampered every Argyle manager and which go some way to explain how relatively bad weâve been throughout our whole history.
Summary... same as the thread title. Average budget, distant location, terrible facilities and bad judgment by the manager adds up to a bit of a mess. Which makes these new grandstand facilities so utterly crucial as they go some way to solve two of those problems.
