As fans hold a candelight vigil and there is a campaign to get #savepafc trending on Twitter, it is zero hour for League 2 club Plymouth Argyle.   Unless a deal is done by 17:00 today (Friday) the club could be liquidated after 125 years and tomorrow’s game against Crewe could be the last.


Bidders Bishop International have to come up with £6m by the end of today.   A further complication is the involvement of Kevin Heaney in Truro City.   Although a formula has been found in an effort to get round the two clubs rule, it still has to be approved by the Football League board.   Neverthless, despite all these hurdles, administrator Brendan Guilfoyle remains confident.   Certainly deals at the very last minute are not unknown for football clubs in administration.


Acting chairman Peter Ridsdale has reassured fans that everything will be completed and that he was just waiting to hear from lawyers whether they were over the line.


Devon businessman James Brent has come back into the frame and said that he will make an offer if the Bishop International bid fails.   However, the question would then be whether there would be enough time to sort everything out.
