No way, his track record speaks for itself.
He has had more than enough chance's, time to move on

That's the one that sticks in my mind despite being the smallest of matters in the scheme of things. A sign the position was taken for granted. That and the choice of Kagami for outside investment do it for me. He did some good along the way, and I don't hold any ill will to him, but the club needs a change.

Totally agree!
When he was running the club properly and we were only spending what we could afford the guy wasn't given any thanks if fact he was being absolutely slaughtered for it!
The majority on Pasoti were always criticising him for not finding wealthy investors and selling out to them although there were a few of us who warned of the dangers of doing so but we were usually shouted down.
Since the new world took over it's hard to know how much involvement Stapes has had and I think it would be understandable if he wanted to take a back seat anyways given the little thanks he was given in the past.
When a club finds itself in the kind of trouble ours does there's always a variety reasons and people to blame and I would include the people of Plymouth who didn't bother to support the club when we actually were a pretty damn decent side and doing well.
No, didn't like the way he put his personal interests ahead of those of the club in buying Plymouth Sports Club with his two boardroom buddies to feather their own nests. That would have made a first rate training facility / football academy.
For an Accountant to be associated with the kind of financial mismanagement that we have seen over the last couple of years, it's a wonder he hasn't been struck off.
Appears to be clinging to the power that has corrupted him like a notorious Egyptian President!

Agree totally :appl:.
The only perrenial flaw in our collective character bigger than our inability to generate a decent home crowd is our collective willingness to turn on our own.
He's been villified for daring to try his best for Argyle and give his fellow fans what they were indignatly demanding from him at the time, they need to have a long look at themselves for that and not point fingers. All he did wrong was to try and keep the ball rolling and got taken in by the NWO...... just the same as we all did.

Ooh that's good, definately scratching my itch there Marky.
Instead of blaming ONE son of Plymouth for all our ills all the other sons of Plymouth should look at themselves for not packing out Home Park when 'he who then disgraced himself' was providing mouthwatering football at the business end of the CCC with classy players and a real purpose.
With another 8,000-10,000 on the gate each home game the money would have been coming in to cover the outlay he made in 'going for it'. He did his part, he went for it, it was the city's failure to follow suit that see's us where we are now.
Funny innit how Stapleton is given all the blame for falling away from 4th in the CCC but none of the credit for getting us there :roll:.

Funnily enough exactly how I voted. I'm not joining in with the demonising of the man but on the other hand he's had his time.
If Stapleton's retention on the board stands in the way of any potential investment which could secure the long term future of the club, then he has to go.
Otherwise I would like to see him stay. Whilst he may not have the money to spur us on, I truly believe he has other attributes beneficial to the club

Agree with all the comments made by these posters.
It's nice to see that there is some common sense amongst the mass hysteria.

The one consistent thing in all of this.
Lets not forget the 'new world' walked into this pre made mess.

As far as I can see the damage was done when Sturrock started his second spell, and was given an open cheque book to sign as many inadaquate players as he could get his hands on, at whatever wages they asked for.
That was before the board room changes.
The new lot have come in, tried to make money from the world cup, put money into the club whilst here, taken nothing out (so far as we know) and now that has failed they are predictably walking alone.
Had they not come on board I believe this situation would have come about sooner, as we've only got this far because of the WC.
I'm far from an insider or expert on this though, but thats my understanding.
