a friend up the gym last night told me he heard that the legend peter reid is paying the youth team members out of his own finances. a believable rumour about a real genteman.

I need to go to your gym!!

Good to hear if true, which I have no reason to question. Only thing I would question is calling Reid a legend.

He has made some really great gestures to the club and been a gentleman of dignity throughout this season, but the results on the pitch have left alot to be desired....He is good, but not great!

But anyway, good on him

Wouldn't surprise me, a lovely fellow.

I hope he is able to build his own team in the future and we can achieve success together. A lesser man would have complained and walked out months ago, but he does the opposite.

If true, then a touch of class, that.

Reid should not be hung out to dry for on-field performances. He should be given the opportunity - 2 seasons minimum - to get us out of League 2, once this whole sorry affair is done and dusted.

I hope Reidy has paid for Stapleton to go on his trip to Dubai too. Its a shame if the vice-chair/secretary/director/businessman/accountant has had to suffer the hardship of paying for his own holiday in these testing times whilst junior players are getting handouts!

This rumour definitely has legs, especially due to the fact that argyle don't pay the youth players wages. Might be a slight hiccup :wink:

Judging by Jack Stephens, £500?

£500 for starting, £200 for being on the bench
