That's what she said.
What a coincidence. Just an hour ago I was sat thinking about the way current results had taken James Brent out of the firing line. This is not another nail towards your crucifixion, just a comment on the fact that the anti-James posts both here and elsewhere had been notable by their absence. That said, in the interest of fairness to JB I would be interested to know the names of these "other investors" he is shutting out of the boardroom and the sums they have available.gaspargomez":18dsql76 said:Lets assess the table after 10 league games at least.
Finances at the club remain a concern. I don't think Brent is willing to invest, and he won't allow other investors into the boardroom. We seem to be operating on a very low budget compared to other clubs with similar home gates.
As much as I like Adam's signings, the squad remains paper thin. A few injuries to key players and we may really struggle. So don't get carried away just yet.
I don't know what's happening with the grandstand, but we need to be looking at something that brings the Home Park capacity to 20K. For the "Phoenix" to truly rise the infrastructure needs to be in place so that Argyle can become a force in the Championship at least. No point building something that's only good for the lower leagues. At least give the club an outside crack at reaching the Premier League one day (even if that is a generation away). The city has the potential.
With regards to the grandstand, I still think Brent wants what is best for his own pocket rather than what is best for the club- but I get crucified every time I express that opinion on this forum.

i agree with most of his post though, i cant speak in regards to the "other investors" but to me it is pretty clear JB's purchase of the club was more a commercial acquisition than him wanting to save the club. i think theres a chance he will get swept up in argyle mania the way things are going, i dont believe this was his original intention though
i'm not having a pop at him, this is just how i see it

My understanding of the underlying meaning of 'commercial' is that it is meant to generate profit. From what I see from the foothills of Cornwall JB's involvement is more philanthropic than commercial!
