June Fans' Forum (Your Questions Answered)

Argyle will be holding another Virtual Fans’ Forum on Saturday, June 27, at 2pm.

Following the success of April’s first-ever virtual forum, and confirmation that the Greens will be competing in Sky Bet League One next season, BBC Radio Devon and club ambassador Gordon Sparks will once again host as your questions are put to a panel of the club's senior leadership.

Promotion-winning manager Ryan Lowe will be accompanied by CEO Andrew Parkinson and club chairman Simon Hallett for an hour-long question-and-answer session.

The forum will be live-streamed through our official YouTube account – as well as on pafc.co.uk.

We are inviting contributions from members of the Green Army ahead of the forum. If you have a question that you want to put to the club’s senior management team, please send it to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

All selected questions will include a name check, so please ensure to include this information in the email.

First question, Is he going or staying,

You'll know by then.

First question will be: When does Gary start?

Is this Nipplegate revisited?

what protective measures have you put in place to stop Ryan asset stripping the club in quick succession when he decides to go and will the club insist on demanding the full compensation for all?

let's face it when he does go the coaching staff barr nace and wilmot will go with him naturally, the data analysis guy will too obviously, not to mention that the scouting network, recruitment and the head of youth development will be depleted as Dewsnip will go with him along with his contacts and scouts.
Also big chance the medical setup will be impacted as the head physio Galley came here on his say so will go too.

So that would be a very good and serious question to ask Hallett and the board because alot is at stake here if there is no protection from Ryan taking all his mates in short succession before a new manager has a chance to bring in his guys or we have people lined up to replaced the other areas not covered.

Having said that imo the D.O.F, medical and youth vacancies should be club appointments only not managers for this very reason.

Wonder what else the disgusting Nipples Nool, has been up to on his twenty hours a day screen time?

It's an important question as there's clearly been discussions between Lowe and Bolton and very probably between Bolton and Argo. If it wasn't for the compo issue complicating things Lowe would already be Bolton manager.

But if Lowe hasn't gone by then the response will be the standard "Ryan is committed to Argo blah blah"

Why the eff would he want to go to Bolton who've been in continuous and serious decline for over 10 years or so?

As long as we are a sustainable club does it matter whether we are competitive or even ambitious?

and a transfer embargo too.


my question was more general not just in relation to bolton as he would be nuts and unambitious to want that job.

RL surely can't want to keep getting teams promoted from division 4 as his legacy. At some point he needs to kick on at a higher level or he'll end up pigeonholed as unambitious or worse.

it would. which is way it is his best interest to only consider other jobs at higher levels than us. Bolton are not there anymore and that journalist Alan Nixon who seems to be on the ball about most things says it would cost Bolton £200,000 to take Ryan as thats his compensation thats not including his staff though.

If he goes to Bolton or anywhere it will speak volumes about how likely Argyle are to go up this season in Lowes eyes.

Really?  As clear as mud?

Imagination working overtime today, eh Freathy?

It looks to me like Bolton have asked Green Ryan if he fancys it and he said yes, wheather they can pay the compo argo would want is probably all that stops it from happening.
