Plymouth Argyle: Close to takeover, possibily!
www.football-league.co.uk issued the following statement Thursday regarding the struggling Pilgrims.
'The Football League Board today received an update regarding the proposal from James Brent to take over Plymouth Argyle.
The Board raised a number of queries over the details of the proposal and will continue to work with Mr Brent to resolve the outstanding issues.
The Board will reconsider the matter as soon as the issues have been addressed, which could occur before the next Football League Board meeting.'
For all the positive words coming from the interim manager Carl Fletcher and others, the club remain in a perilous position finacially with a transfer embargo still in place.
Brent himself told BBC South West the morning before the powers-that-be had their get together: "It is a pretty important milestone for us, if we do get it we can go forward if we don't we can't."
So it's a 'we can't' then!
It may be a month before the Football League board discuss the matter again, a long time for perplexed Pilgrims supporters.
