According to a PST on his own twitter account (@JDanalyst) about an hour ago, Jimmy Dickinson is leaving Bury FC after 5 years to join the Ryan Lowe revolution at Argyle. His twitter profile shows him as ‘Head of Performance Analysis @Only1Argyle’.

I wouldn't pretend to know what an analyst actually does, but I guess the role tries to inject some objectivity into a very subjective game. So rather than turning on the hair dryer in any direction, Lowe can say, "you got only got X successful passes, you need to up your game" or somesuch.
I really hope this injects some science into the dressing room, we need all the help we can get. And we also need some signings sooner rather than later. Back room staff are great but they're not going to block a shot or place a slide rule pass, are they?

You seem to be headed into a new season with no manager and not many players and potentially starting on minus points like Bolton.
Hopefully things are resolved soon. Who knows if a solution is found maybe RL will be sending couple of loans from us to help.....although we will need a squad ourselves first.

i hope we do start on -12 it means we have a club which is looking very dubious at the moment. if this CVA is declined i think we will go under because Dale wont be able to sell and hes got no interest in spending a penny on the club. Dont know why the bought it for a quid if he had an issue with the debt.
Can only echo Mervyn’s sentiments ….. feel so bad for Bury and to be honest more than a little uncomfortable that we are taking the pickings – I know it makes no real sense to feel that way (it’s not our fault and the people involved must move on, so why not to us?) – but even so it just feels bad. Fingers crossed that things work out for them and soon….. it would be an absolute outrage if not.mervyn":22d30dxr said:Steve Dale Out":22d30dxr said:cheshiregreen":22d30dxr said:Feel sympathy for you SDO.

Really feel for you SDA. Do you think he bought it simply for the development potential of the ground as a site for building houses or offices? This is the usual modus operandi of dodgy owners as Brighton found twenty years ago.

Is this a role every club has in L2 or should it set us apart?
