Title aside, it ought to be wriiten once the dust has settled. I think that there are some very important lessons to be learned from this fiasco, not just for Argyle, but for football in general. I was enthusing about the game and the atmosphere whilst talking to some non-fotballing friends about this last night and trying to explain the circumstances that led us to yesterday. In the course of doing that, their reaction to what i was saying was one of amazement that these practices could be allowed to happen. I might not have got all the details right but included in my explanation were:
the handling of the club by the NWO; the emergence of a businessman who seems to specialise in advising stuggling clubs by arranging deals with potential and actual buyers, (whilst making money) once it was clear the business was struggling; the lack of redress that the community has in terms of the mis-handling of a community asset; the passion and determination of supporter groups; the seemingly inept processes and decisions of administrators; the (in)ability of local media to fully chase down a story; the relutance of football authorities to come out and say 'you're simply not fit to run a club' when it could be argued that was the case in relation to some of the businessmen involved in this; the absolute lack of information flow from the club to its fanbase; the almost total lack of morality or integrity displaid by accountants and businessmen in this whole affair; etc, etc.
Their reaction was that one would hope that someone in the FL is looking at this and thinking 'we cannot allow this type of thing to happen again as it is further tarnishing an already tarnished reputation'. Sadly, I had to reply that I doubt they are and it's simnply a matter of time before football sees this whole sorry process repeated.

I would imagine Edd Moore would be able to write a fantastic book after covering this from the start!
I've taken notes of every meeting / call / email etc etc I've been involved in.
Put together I think that it would at the very least make a good short book or maybe I'll publish It to pasoti
Got its title..... Saving Plymouth Argyle : A Webb of deceipt

i agree with what a poster has previously put...
You are not out of the water YET.
Hopefully, Brent will take over, the team will turn their form around and you will finish outside of the relegation zone. Then next year build the team, build the fan base, and build Plymouth Argyle in to the team it used to be.
As for a book title how about "Fans United, we'll never be defeated"

No, Pogle, no need to change the title at all: A la recherche du temps perdu is about right.
You check the translations of that and both are appropriate to PAFC (although in fact only one to the original book... getting coat)
