There are a number elements that needs reviewing at Argyle here are some suggestions. 1) Moving training from our ameteur Harpers Parker set up, by agreeing a season deal to use indoor and outdoor footy facilties at places like Estover colleage, just been finished of great standard, Marjons, Ivygridge sports ground - recently refurbished through national sports federation grant, thus avoiding headlines like "Argyle unable to train due to water logged pitches".
2) Approach European clubs with the aim of setting up a Young and Player development programme, with similar sized club in Europe, perhaps France i.e. Lorient, Nantes, Rennes or Poland like Krakow, Denmark- Silkberb. The strategy/aim - To exchange players whom manager or coaching staff have sighted as having potential to reach the senior squad and make an impact on the league in a season or two's time i.e. Jared Sims, Matt Lecont, players who may benefit from a change in cultural football - learning new techniques /skills etc, or simply mental rehabilitation (confidence boost) by playing or training away from home environment. This scheme would be jointly funded, could be incorporated as part of pre-season and close season. Companies from both local area's could bid for sponsorship, thus help funding the project, in exchange for appearing on match advertising boards, corporate marques, Club websites, programmes etc.
3) Need to stop relying on the loan market so much, by starting an "acadamy assessment programme". Mr N and senior scount at start of each August choose seven premier club acadamy games to visit the aim to review, strengths, tactic's, weaknesses and how they compare to PAFC 's current set up. Then in Sept we look to review finding with PAFC manager, board, and coaching team. Then in Oct we do the same but with seven Championship acadamy games, then conduct same review in NOV, and so forth working down the leagues to the Blue Square premiership.
I believe with these ongoing programmes it would give you an indepth insite to the skills, strengths and abilities of UK football, and perhaps using the knowledge and different attributes of the european partnership to enable Argyle to adapt their footballing product accordingly, and laying foundations for a more such successful club.
