What was the original position of the statue?
Near the steps by the Devonport End.
What was the original position of the statue?
I wouldn't choose any of those at the present time as I firmly believe that statues should be of those who have passed.Hi everyone - long time member, occasional poster!
Apologies if this has been mooted before but, in light of the Aguerooo statue and, separately, the redevelopment of Higher Home Park: which Argyle players/staff/moment would you like to see immortalised in bronze? I believe that Jack Leslie is having a statue made, so mine would be:
- Tommy Tynan, wheeling away after scoring vs West Brom in the FA Cup 1984
- Micky Heathcote lifting the Wembley cup
- Paul Sturrock with a grin on his face, hands in trooser pockets
- Dave Smith, flat cap, fist clenched on the touch line.
What do you think?
In all seriousness I don't hold a grudge against BG. Whenever I had a question (and there were a few) regarding the administration I found him and PR upfront and honestAgree about Tynan, but there will never be another Micky Evans. What a player he was and we would not have won either Championship without the man. Luggy's opinion by the way.
I'd have Brendan Guilfyle in all of the urinals, we could all pee over him as he tried to do with us.
So why did he wear an Argyle tie at his first press conference?A bit unfair on an administrator who's responsibility first and foremost was to the club's creditors, not to the club itself.
He would have failed in his job had either Palace or Argyle gone under. Both came close, Palace closer than Argyle in that they went 12 minutes past the deadline for liquidation but he still got the job done for both clubs. We all should be grateful of that.So why did he wear an Argyle tie at his first press conference?
And why, when he was administrator at Palace, did he wear a Palace tie?
What has that got to do with representing creditors?
As Ian says, pretending to be something he wasn't (a supporter).
Putting on a show instead of doing a professional job.
If you were owed lots of money by Argyle would seeing him in an Argyle tie reassure you?
Taribo West. Just stick the man himself on a base and you’d never know the difference.
It will always be Bob Jack for me. 105 appearances as a player then a staggering 29 years as manager (1905-06 & 1910-38) which covered 1011 games. Managed the club to their first ever promotion in 1929-30.
He tried to bring in Heaney as a preferred bidder.He would have failed in his job had either Palace or Argyle gone under. Both came close, Palace closer than Argyle in that they went 12 minutes past the deadline for liquidation but he still got the job done for both clubs. We all should be grateful of that.
I know a urinal isn’t very big but do you think there would be room to squeeze Ridsdale in as well.Agree about Tynan, but there will never be another Micky Evans. What a player he was and we would not have won either Championship without the man. Luggy's opinion by the way.

I don't think that when they say "preferred bidder" they mean who the supporters would prefer. Heaney would have been ticking all the right boxes to attain being the preferred bidder. Hindsight tells us that Guilfoyle was not being given the best information to make that decision. Fortunately the Argyle fans were on the ball and enforced a direction change in the nick of time.He tried to bring in Heaney as a preferred bidder.
It was the fans and JB who saved this club not that prat.
