This hard hitting article does not pull its punches in arguing why it thinks Plymouth Argyle is facing financial ruin. While it emphasises that some of the concerns expressed by members of the Green Army are misplaced, it also calls on the board to take collective responsibility and show decisive leadership.

The geographical location of Plymouth does pose some challenges in terms of running a successful football club. Indeed, this has been the subject of a humorous television advert involving members of the Green Army. Portsmouth is also a naval port with some economic and social challenges not unlike those of Plymouth but, despite its recent troubles, the track record of the football club has been an impressive one.
I know from my work with the Radio Scilly sports show how the trouble that Argyle has taken to provide coaching for children on the remote islands is appreciated and I hope that a way is found through the difficulties the club has been facing. The impending House of Commons enquiry into football should take a look at what has happened there as a case study.
