Good signs for next season
- Thread starter Green Flash
- Start date
Looking at the final League tables, one area we desperately need to improve on, is our away record, winning only 3 away games.
If you look at the teams that finished just above us, they won more away games.
Don’t think , going down to the final game, having to win to stay up, would have been necessary, with a better away record.

A lot less than last February which from memory is last time he scored
Sadly Whittakers valuation will have dropped likewise for a myriad of reasons not least his dire performance against Hull one of far too many last few months
Anyway I'm certain Hardie is going nowhere and if Hallett sticks to contracts signed rather than letting Whittaker do a Shumacher than neither is our top scorer
Where the £10 million comes from for a massive rebuild this summer (over and above new monies next season) I really dont know as Hallett is clearly more interested in the overall portfolio value of the club and I cant blame him
He was or still is an Argyle fan from
Bristol, used to post on here 20 odd years, had a pathological loathing of Mickey Evans.
Shades of Jimmy Hinch!
I didn't think he would as he's settled and seems to enjoy life in Plymouth fans like him and he's under contract.
Cooper (IMO) would handle the Premier league seamlessly he is such a cool character
We will probably have the lowest budget in the Championship again next season.
To some extent at least, I think the budget will affect the way we play; it has to.
As such, to expect to be able to put together a team that plays "attacking, entertaining football" might be unrealistic.
And yet attacking entertaining football seemed to serve us best this season despite our low budget
Season just finished , and ignoring the youngsters , we started with 25 players including 5 loanees . Assuming T Wright is transferred and Waine loaned , that leaves us with 16 . As its unlikely that we’ll retain or be able to retain - all of the contracted players - if we are to have the same squad depth , we’ll most likely be signing 5 loan players again I guess - we’re looking at signing 4-8 permanents .
Although contracted players - I’m not including Galloway or Miller - may be placed on the transfer list ( although I don’t think they will ) other than MW, MC , RH and Gibson , it’s difficult to see another Chanpionship club wanting to sign any of the others meaning that they’ll then have the opportunity to prove themselves to the new manager . Realistically though at some stage the promotion squad will break up.
The budget will affect the calibre of players we can sign .
Our budget this year is likely to have been £7M. Quite a lot of other championship clubs budget’s based on last years accounts lodged at Companies House is likely to be in the £12M but quite a lot of those clubs are losing £5M + a year .
With the increase in the tv money it depends on whether they use it to reduce the losses while maintaining current budget or plough it into wages . For us , we have the opportunity to potentially close the gap on other clubs although still being at or towards the bottom of the salary table .
