Argyle being 'targeted'? (Mike Farnan)

Load of borrox.

I doubt there's a club anywhere that wouldn't want extra investment !

Exactly. I’m all for extra investment but I definitely wouldn’t want to see anyone take over full control from the Halletts.

 

[up the line]

I won't hear a bad word said about the Mail.
It's soft, absorbent and one copy can line the cat's litter tray for weeks on end.

Hull and Ipswich I get although both would be a lot more expensive to buy into that Argyle I expect, but Shrewsbury? That’s an odd one.

If Wrexham can attract 2 Hollywood actors..............................

It's all about motive though. The Wrexham purchase is a relatively inexpensive way of tapping into the sports docuseries market which is at an absolute boom.

The expectations of investment/success with Hull, Ipswich or Shrews is very different. I thought Ipswich had just gone through a change of ownership anyway, so seems the story is a speculative page filler at best in this case.

It's Farnan btw.
Good mates with Kevin Blackwell.

He is and besides Blackwell in the photo is there at least one Argyle shirt? .....Link.

Simon Hallett did say earlier this season that the £3.5m he put into the club would be his last payment.

“As I’ve said before, this will be the last cash injection from me,”

So the money from the grandstand redevelopment, which should be operating 7 days a week next season, will be crucial.
Whether that money is enough or arrives quick enough for an ambitious manager remains to be seen.
With no further cash injections from Simon Hallett will sustainability be enough to get us into the Championship without funding from elsewhere?

I do believe that I first heard his name mentioned on the series 'All creatures great and small' ?

Well Mr Hallett ruled that out this evening.

Ah but could he be covering his tracks? :wave:

I would like to state that, contrary to Sparky's belief, I do not read the Daily Mail.

Exactly, I'm sure I saw his eyes narrow.

I do.
So what? Oldage reads The Sun.

Well Mr Hallett ruled that out this evening.

The question wasn't put to the chairman correctly by Sparksy. He asked if there was any truth that Argyle had been approached but the story never said that any club had been approached so Simon was correct with his answer because the Daily Mail never said it had happened anyway.

The report said that Redstrike were looking at investing in football and that there are League One clubs out there who are looking for possible investors. The statement "Hull, Ipswich, Plymouth and Shrewsbury are among third-tier clubs looking for new buyers or significant investment" doesn't say that any talks have happened whatsoever with any of them.

I do.

And do you believe it?

Judging by his posts on here I think there’s a pretty good chance.
