Firstly I dont know if Fletcher should go or stay. I have no idea of the plans, hopes or ambitions of Brent with regards to PAFC but the impression I get is that someone who attends the amount of games that he does must have a genuine interest, there can be no other reason. The development side of the equation was a given whoever saved us from extinction, so the small minded minority who want Brent to pump money into the club while at the same time resenting the fact that he has money should put their crayons away and join the real world. Change the manager? well it certainly works, I mean just look at Liverpool and QPR, Hodgson, Dalgleish, Rodgers and Hughes respectively. Is their an easy solution? I have no idea as I am only an ordinary supporter who has no experience of owning or running or managing a professional football club. I will continue to turn up and continue to hope, remember the good days and hope that they return, as a supporter that is all I can do.
Conspiracy theory No1:
If the fans attending games fall below 5,000, it would make the cost of redeveloping the Moanflower a lot cheaper, we'd only need 12,000 capacity. Run the club down, redevelop the site at minimal cost, build a nice little earner, do a runner.

doesn't it take more then one person theorising to make it a 'conspiracy' thoughtGreenblooded1":p4kiur12 said:
Excepting Berry, the obvious lack of development/progress in players is an issue for me.
A manager is not only there to manage but to also lead, develop, enhance, progress, influence and inspire others. Fletcher, in my opinion, does none of those things.

Back to the tenet of my op.
We lack a person who has EXPERIENCE of running a football club,so why not bring someone in who can do that and act as a football support to Fletch? After all, most of the other Directors have more than one role, so why not someone like Colin Lee?
Leadership is about 2 things: Strategy (what we are going to do) and Influence (getting others to deliver it). Someone needs to be setting this for Fletch...it Is not his role. And 3 general objs isn't enough from people who don't know the business. We need improvement all over the pitch and the squad.
C'mon Mr Brent, if you can progress plans on possible redundancies as part off the streamlining plan for the club....let's get the whole thing sorted. It surely it is not that difficult to look at the other 91 professional clubs in England, see what they do, what makes the successful ones successful on and off the field, and get on and copy / adjust it to make it work at Argyle!

And until Brent invests in either a stronger squad and/or a new manager it always will be. Bound for the Conference with a management team that hasn't a clue what they're doing!

Come on Mark, football is all about opinions.
I agree that we should have done better. I also believe lessons will have been learnt. Can't have an issue with that. Opps, forgot, this IS P@SOTI

The fact is we have improved the squad from the early part of last season....although It still needs a lot of work. What we haven't done though is improved the coaching team....in fact it has been reduced, because the mentor is not there. 3 coaches with about 3 years between them...yes, there's merit in youth, but even Karl Robinson has Mick Harford to assist him.
The trouble is a reputation comes from what you've done, not what you're going to do. I support Fletch but a lot of tactics, set plays and substitutions are naive....we need a voice of experience.
