From the players point of view it must be frustrating that very few make the grade. Is it fair to get the youngsters hopes up ?Biggs":xe2dr6lg said:oldage":xe2dr6lg said:This could be a good time to question the need for a youth set up.

That would be a sad day and hopefully never happen.
Plymouth Argyle is THE football club in Devon and Cornwall, to shut off that opportunity for youngsters in the South West would be 1) a total dereliction of duty for a football club positioning itself as community-focused and a club at the heart of the region , and 2) pure stupidity in waiving through all of those promising players to join Exeter or Southampton or whoever else.
The sales, sell-on clauses and potential sell-on clauses from Sam Gallagher, Jack Stephens, Ben Purrington etc etc hopefully make it economically viable anyway.

It looks like the PC brigade are taking over the running of the club.
As I have said before our club has lost its soul.
