Hello Bulls fans - I am really sorry to hear of your predicament.

I was one of a group of Plymouth Argyle FC fans who dealt with Brendan Guilfoyle when he was Administrator for our club over a lengthy and nerve wracking period until last August.

He will say that he was successful in getting the deal to save our club done - and that bare fact is true. But it would NOT have happened without fans groups keeping tabs on his (and his lawyer's) activities. If it was not for fans pressure, we would have failed and be in liquidation.

Remember that the job of an Administrator is to get the best deal for the creditors, not (necessarily) for the club. So it is up to you to keep your eyes on the main thing that you prize, which is your club and keep public pressure on Guilfoyle. He comes over all affable and reasonable but he is as sharp as paper cut and not as pleasant - he is not fondly remembered in the far south west - and for good reasons.

I wish you well in your struggle but do please feel free to contact us should you need any background information. If you want to get in contact, please either leave a message below or send me a PM and I can give you my phone/email details. The Argyle Fans' Trust (which was set up specifically to ensure fans had a voice in our recent Administration period) has promised whatever support you wish.

Either way, good luck from all of us down here!

So now the administrator makes all the coaching staff redundant - a week before a deadline for a buyer to come forward who may have wanted to retain them! Curious isn't it!!! Gutted for Potter especially, with the crap he had to put it with yet has still delivered a competitive squad and for Medley - been with the club over 20 years I guess and has brought on much of the talent we are now seeing (and probably losing). Looks very smelly

Hil1969 yes I realised as soon as I pressed the send button but thought what the...

This could be Guilfoyle calling any propective bidders bluff, drastic but probably needs to be done, hopefully it works and the Newco gets as many of the old staff back in, but I wont hold my breath!

Its simply a cost cutting measure.
As said, although it doesn't seem a good idea for the team/club, from a financial point of view it will still run without them.
The team losing doesn't make a difference to teh Administrator, he simply wants to keep costs low, and find a buyer, or retain enough oney to pay creditors.

Wakefield lost players that in hindsight did not really help financially at all once we were bought but the administrator did anyway. Just doing his job I suppose and I guess you don't become an administrator to be popular.

F Off Guffhole.

Not much has made me smile today, but that has.
