| Hallet and his family own about 95% I think of PAFC
The simple fact of the matter is that he either puts in a lump sum now, or covers future losses as the occur, or increases Club debt, which decreases the value of his share in the Club.
When JB was in the same situation, he either got the begging buckets out or asked the City Council for money. I started questioning JB role in taking over Argyle from day one, when he made it clear he wasn't going to pay non playing staff the wages they were owned as he wasn't legally liable to do so. I questioned his stance on this as morally wrong. And also asked (still waiting for an answer) why Newell as the chief cheer leader on Pasoti and Webb as an elected fans representative supported JB's takeover and openly opposed/denied any other options, when there was nothing in JB's plans to warrant such support -as the EFL admitted when they "reluctantly" allowed him the Golden Share.
My concern with the current situation is that we are again seeing things presented in a slightly skewed way. The Club/Hallet statement makes it look like SH is "giving" money to a separate entity. He isn't.
Hallet certainly isn't Brent, but he is guilty of using "smoke and mirrors" when it suits
I just get a tad suspicious when people try to hide the facts from the fans.
My complaint |

My complaint he will get it back or the majority at least when the club is sold. no owner anywhere invests money and doesnt get it back unless they have bottomless resources. |

For the umpteenth time, for Hallett to get any sort of favourable return on the shares he acquires ( for piling money into the club to keep it afloat) then Argyle will have to be in a position whereby the value of the club is high. For the value of the club to be high - and worth selling, or in fact even attracting a would-be investor, that means we would almost certainly need to be in the Championship. That is why as far as the club are concerned, it is win win. The only possible financial loser in Halletts investment plan....is Simon Hallett! Because he owns shares that will way over exceed the true market value of the club - again, UNLESS the club is in a great position financially. Again for the umpteenth time, this is why what Hallett is doing is fantastic for the club, because it is massively in Halletts personal interests to make Argyle successful. This clearly passes Grovey by as he is just bizarrely super keen on trying to find greed/evil/wrongdoing that simply ain’t there. As for smoke and mirrors, what the actual feck are you on about? Hallett (and the other financial director guy) have just produced the most comprehensively transparent financial report I can ever remember reading from any owner, ever. Just bizarre. |

Just bizarre. Groves opinion is neither right or wrong it's simply an opinion and Tbf to him he was never a Brentite. I disagree about Hallett getting us to the CCC I really think that would take a real dose of luck and I'd say it was possible rather than probable. Fair enough he's put in millions and much more than any other owner but he's upfront about how much money he's willing to invest, he isn't a gambler but even after his millions our squad will be funded by up to a maximum of 15,000 fans (who we all know are fickle unless it's going great) and the projected million (lol) from the prawn sarnies. Living within our means as its known, weve been there for he last forty years and always see any real talent we get go north pretty rapidly. League 1 will be our ceiling under this business model. I'm well happy with Hallett now but I hope in a couple of years he either shits or gets off the pot. That's spoken as an Argyle fan rather than a bosses fan. |

| Where have I "had a go at" SH?
I've just said he's a different kettle of fish to Brent. I've also pointed out a number of times that the better the team does, the better he does, and that's as it should be.
I just think the current "spin" (Simon Hallet says he will give one last "susbtanial amount" of money to the club) inferring that he's lobbing cash at a basket case as some sort of benevolent act is disingenuous.
He's not "giving" money to PAFC, it's his business, he's giving his own money to himself! Do any other businessmen trumpet the fact that they are putting money into their own business because it's not profitable?
The truth is, he, like nearly every previous owner of the Club, is covering the club's losses, end of story
But that doesn't make a good press release.
What everyone should be really concerned about, however is that even before Covid, this business expert couldn't make a club with some of the best attendances in L1 and L2 (and better than some in the Championship) break even. |

My point Angers was that to get to that point where someone is willing to pay Hallett an upward return on his shares, Argyle are going to have to be in an infinitely better position than they are now. So once again Argyle gain from Hallett putting his cash into the club, and the only person risking his own cash, is Hallett! It is totally unprecedented in the entire history of our club. I really struggle with how or why anyone would try and put a negative spin on this. |

Harve has his trolling issue with himself and meanwhile CV19 is still killing more people in the UK than the rest of the European countries combined and we still have a racist issue around the world |

As for this place turning into Pasoti? Lol. Says a lot about your insightfulness... Just as a last word as debate is pointless with your Newellesque responses, Firstly I am not against the capitalist model per se I am anti the total uncaring capilist society that we live in, Hallett is a cpailist pig (your words not mine) yet I broadly support him and his aims for the club. As for Hallett being our only option lol you're sounding like Nool again, "there really are no other options other than Brent" it hasn't seemed to hinder many other clubs finding the right owner. Maybe Hallett will prove me wrong in which case I will happily hold my hand and admit I was wrong but just going on the words of the man himself I think there isn't a lot of hope of being more than a league 1/league 2 Yoyo club. You need to stop being so protective and just make a little bit of effort to understand that opinions are just that and that is exactly what this forum is for. Shorely it's not a difficult concept to understand, until you do I'm refusing to engage with you further. Crack on bhey. |

It is totally unprecedented in the entire history of our club. I really struggle with how or why anyone would try and put a negative spin on this. Must question the end of your post. Robert Daniel was sole owner and lost money. the group that took over from him, Bloom etc. got the Club promoted and still lost money. The sold to Dan 666 who, whatever you think of him, lost a lot of money before selling to Stapes & Co. The rest, I expect you know. 30 years ago, it was expected that you would lose money buying/taking over a football club and nobody made a song and dance about how much they lost. At the end of the day, when you got fed up with losing money, there was always someone (usually another local businessman/fan) willing to take over. The trouble nowadays is that the sums involved at all levels of football mean that anyone taking over a football club needs probably tens of millions rather than a "mere" 5 figure sum. That for a provincial Club like Argyle rules out a well to do local fan. So you get overseas investors (some may just be front men) getting involved and chasing the dream of big bucks in the PL or Championship to get a return on their investment. Going on recent comments from SH, it seems he has realised that isn't achievable in the short term at Argyle and he's tightening the reins. Given the money he's put in, he must realise that no one is going to buy the Club off him for anything like what he has put into it. The gamble of building a venue for mass gatherings has failed due to circumstances no one could predict |

If you read what Grovey actually says he's alluding to the prawn sarnies Buffett being deserted due to Covid it's not negativity it's a fact. |

| But again it’s more Grovey nonsense. Building the new conference facilities isn’t ‘a gamble that has failed’. In 6 months12 months 2, 3, 4 years they’ll still be here long after Coronavirus.
That’s apart from the fact that building it hasn’t cost Argyle a penny!

What is this "Argyle" your refer to? You are, like some others, regarding "Argyle" as a separate entity to the business which belongs to SH. The football team, the property, including the stands and the hospitality areas etc.etc. are all part of the business that SH owns. You make it sound as though the "Club" is some separate business totally unconnected with SH. It could be years before entertainment & hospitality returns to anything like normality, but the conference facilities as you term them, still have to be paid for. Would you buy a hotel in the current climate, yet alone try to launch a new venture where none existed before? As was abundantly evident when Brent "saved us" most football fans have a poor grasp of business |
