Who in their right mind is going to want to take that job on? Bottom of the league with one point, and no guarantee of getting paid?

Peter Reid has left Plymouth

Bit like the Doncaster situation in 97/98 when they got players out of the pub to play

Abort, retry, fail
I am sure Leeds would be happy to sing Peter Risdale is a wanker...
That is horrendous behaviour on account of Reid paying staff out of is own pocket. What a ****.

A positive view on this could be that the impending purchase by the hotelier is near and he has said that he will buy the club but does not want to take over Peter Reid and wants to bring in his own man. Doing it this way he is not loaded with having to pay up Peter Reid to the end of his contract.
Interesting to read Steve Evans programme notes yesterday and blaming injuries for Crawley's 6-0 and 3-0 defeats to Morecambe and Swindon respectively. Well he should try managing Plymouth with not a pot to piss in. What a tool that man is.
Why does that make him a tool ? Irrespective of your personal opinions of the man, he is only stating a fact.
If we'd been raped by defensive injuries and then shipped 9 goals in two games, I'm sure Gus would say the same thing.
ps. I think you'll find that when Evan's first went to Crawley, they were actually quite shit with no money.

Growing old disgracefully
You ain't wrong there BoF. How can the so-called authorities in football allow a Grade A Shithead like Ridsdale anywhere near a club still? God help the game in this country if something isn't done - & bloody pronto - to stop clubs ending up in dire financial straits. It's an f-ing disgrace.

There will be a line of out of work old managers and new hopefuls applying for the job even in their financial position.

Got a lot of time for Peter Reid, despite his former allegiences he's a top bloke and to blame him in any way for Plymouth's form is not on, what a f***ing joke.

"You plonker, Rodney!"
It maybe fact but the money he's been able to spunk about should insure the back-up players are decent enough. I don't like Steve Evans one bit; irritating, arrogant gobshite who claims all the glory for their recent success but he wouldn't last five minutes at Bradford or Rotherham.
I'm digressing a bit away from Plymouth. Just hope their problems are sorted out soon. Should be an interesting day when Argyle visit Crawley on Saturday 1st October!

Sexy Pete... :D
Disgusting news if he was sacked - he helped the club in so many different ways, auctioning off his gear, going without wages himself.......goes to show what a wanker Ridsdale is. They won't find anyone more committed to the PAFC cause. I'll drop a couple of quid in any bucket thats going round on weds.

Send in Steve Gritt.. he's got no hair but we dont care

Silly old bat
I agree. He had to sell his best players (two of them to us) and auctioned his own FA cup medal to raise money. As BoF said, he's been paying some of the staff from his own pocket. I hope that the Brent deal can go through and Ridsdale never goes near a football club again.
My thoughts entirely!

Ridsdale yet again trying to shift the limelight away from his own piss poor management and load the blame on to someone else.

Taking into account his devotion to PAFC I would think it is more to do with the prospective purchaser not wanting to take him on as I have mentioned in an earlier post. Paying him off would mean a reasonably high financial payout and I doubt if Peter Reid would be prepared to forgo that having given so much and not been paid. He would expect the new buyer to pay him off.
That is an absolute joke. How on earth can Ridsdale expect players to perform when they aren't being paid, then sack the manager? What a twat....

If he has a contract he will have to be paid off anyway no matter who owns the club

It's all about the bikes
And yet there are Argyle fans on PASOTI still defending him. I think that's the main difference between Brighton's position and Argyle's position. We were all united in our hatred of the board. Some of their lot still want to give Ridsdale a rimming.

If the club is in administration isn't the agreed rate eg 10p in the pound or whatever rather than the full amount ask Portsmouth Palace or Leeds they seem to be the experts on this . Also it isn't clear if he resigned or was sacked there appears to be differing stories.
