Anyone that says that now, is a fool. I've known Loyal 1970 for about 40 years and he's talking through his backside.
I remember it well. The mood was very sombre because JB had just a 10% chance of taking over and the club was on the brink of folding.
We had already notified the Football League that we may not be able to fullfil our League Two fixtures for that season.
The meeting was dominated by talk of a phoenix club rising up from the ashes and what stadium could be used for this new team. Advice was sought from the Football League of what tier of the league pyramid system an AFC Argyle could play in.
Not many companies, if any at all, could have organised getting over 400 documents signed and money transferred in just four weeks as Akkeron did to get the deal over the line and keep PAFC alive.
It's easy to forget all that now and come out with crass statements like Loyal 1970 has made which is an insult to the many people who fought and suffered to keep the club alive.
