The prospective new owner of Plymouth Argyle, Devon-based businessman James Brent met with the club’s staff and players yesterday to give them assurances about the payment of their wages. He will also have to find £3.5m to deal with historic wage debts.

The takeover was agreed in principle on Wednesday evening. Although there are various approvals that are still required from the football authorities, he should be in charge by the middle of next month. He will then be able to start the work of rebuilding the club which is shortly to celebrate its 125th anniversary. At least I will have some positive news for the Radio Scilly sports show on Saturday morning.
