Plymouth Argyle face the dual challenge of trying to get their finances stabilised while also mounting a challenge to return to the Championship. The Pilgrims’ executive director Keith Todd admits that he is finding it more difficult than he anticipated to get the club’s finances sorted.
Majority shareholder Yasukai Hagami has not yet been to a game, but is said to ‘follow’ the club’s results which is what any casual armchair ‘fan’ might do.

However, whether or not England is selected as the venue for the 2018 World Cup and regardless of whether Plymouth is selected as a location for games, plans for a new stadium are going ahead. This would be achieved by separating the finances of the stadium and the club.
One does wonder whether this is really necessary given that Home Park is quite a decent venue. A number of clubs that have moved to new stadiums have not seen it leading to success on the pitch: Coventry City, Cardiff, Middlesbrough, Southampton to name just a few.
