Was it Yeovil who we played at home around 09-10, I think we were 0-2 down in the first 20 minutes but still won. Never before or since have I seen a team booed off after a win. Plymouth I think. |

That's the one. I could picture green and white anyway! news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/9354110.stm |

Whatever I said you would say the contrary, so like Hoyle, I can't be arsed. Im sure hell be thrilled to know putting £100k a week into a business he doesnt even own is 'not being arsed' according to people who put in £250 a year. If I was putting in that amount of money I would have a greater involvement in the appointments to the club, after all he is the Chief Executive too. |

Im sure he'd be involved in the interview process and will have the final say. But as a glorified 'shopkeeper', he'll take the advice of the professional football people he pays to advise him. |

In that case I would be bringing their performance management meeting forward to set their targets for 2022-23. |

If the target is that every signing has to be a successful one then they needn't bother.. just sack them now. |

I think can't be arsed is a bit harsh, but Captain do you really think his heart is in it to anything like the same extent it was in the 2010s? ...or even at the level you would want / expect from an owner? TBH I'm struggling to see it. PS ....& in case you're going to tell me "Can you blame him?" then to be honest no I can't at all .....but I'm not sure the current situation is best for the club. |

The fact that Peter Reid managed Plymouth had completely passed me by. |

Ive no idea what his feelings are. Hes putting in roughly the same amount of his money every week as he was putting in back then... and how much of his money the club gets is what he seems to be judged on far more than anything else. The only difference really is that at the moment he only owns 25% of the club, whereas back then it was 100%, which if anything implies even more commitment. |

Strange answer Captain (IMHO). Do You really think money is the only yardstick by which to judge an owner and CEO? ( not how others appear to judge him). I think the owner (& particularly) the CEO should ideally be a figurehead... ..& DH certainly was that in spades once upon a time... ...& TBF I'll wait for the accounts before I assess how much DH is putting in a week (although TBF Town have chosen an accounts discosure for loans that makes it very difficult (if not impossible) to be sure of the "snapshot" picture). |

He did, he was under a bit of pressure from the Town fans at the time. I can remember games from 30 years ago but I can't remember details of games that happened 2 weeks ago these days, don't know what it is, why that happens. Was it 90/91 season that game or 89/90? |

Im sure hell be thrilled to know putting £100k a week into a business he doesnt even own is 'not being arsed' according to people who put in £250 a year. if it were really £250 a year for me I'd have to be living in a house within walking distance of the ground, buying nothing associated with the match day experience, no away games, nothing from the club shop. There might be one or two people who aren't children who do that, but in reality there's people who work very hard and spend thousands a year out of an ever decreasing disposable income. Some caricature of a tight Yorkshireman on 25k a year spending an improbable £250 a year on Town would be spending a bigger fraction of his money than Hoyle is, unless his net worth is below £10m which I doubt |
