James Brent Q&A on BBC

This came out this morning on the Beeb and looks to have slipped under the radar perhaps...

Sheridan crap at the first interview apparently

Interesting that he completely swerved the question about whether he thought about giving Shez the boot when we went 7 without a win.

So he is on public relations exercise, first the BBC next Brent’s Herald

Quote from Graham Clark

There are still a number of issues that are yet to hit the public domain that will impact upon supporters and the residents around Home Park.

The remarks regarding the budget are interesting.

Reading between the lines, I get....

You have a bigger budget than you think you will need.  You know I am keeping the club afloat with personal loans and so there won't be any more money and so don't come and ask.  

Then I won't have to say no.

Rickler...but James didn't say no did he?..

Duh.

They know better than to ask in the first place.

very good interview as well with the ceo reproduced on gos well worth a listen.

First thing that you need to do when you want to get on is interview well, it's a basic skill and what's more we all bullshit at interviews. The best question to gauge your interviewee is, "what was your last job and what's your experience?" James Brent would have to bullshit if he said he was experienced in delivering multimillion pound urban regeneration projects. He's a big bully bullshitter who interviews well, hurrah!
Ps please for fecks sake don't tell me that you've met him and he's really nice, I might actually puke.

CEO now blames delays on the stand on architects as well as contractors. Getting closer to the crux that Planning Conditions are still being argued over, even if you gloss over whether the funds are in place with number of unsold lets.

One of his first comments when addressing the planning committee was how this development was "unashamedly about Plymouth Argyle", nothing could be further from the truth. This is a hotel, cinema amd retail development in central park, with a ministand bolted on as an afterthought. A second rate ministand at that. The fact that there is such lengthy delays to this project brings no tears from me :-)

"Unashamedly about Plymouth Argyle!?!" feck Off!!!! 7/8k capacity grandstand with supporters bar, now that would be unashamedly about Plymouth Argyle. Perhaps with ice rink and basketball facilities to make it a sports hub. But I suppose we are only aspiring to beat Exeter City so it's all golden right? I never thought Argyle supporters would accept a development like this especially given the treatment Heaney got, but some people are wanking themselves silly over it. Perhaps having not lived in Plymouth amd therefore not seeing the majority of aspirations for their city I can be excused from not knowing how this would go down. Very sad... now it makes sense why Plymouth has always underachieved.

Forget Hull, Cardiff, Swansea, Brighton etc who have risen from the lower leagues, are they really our peers like I used to think? Nah, think Gillingham, Carlisle and Northampton. Even Southend and Bristol Rovers have plans to do the job properly and good for them.

All the vibes from Plymouth so no that's too good for us, 5 seasons in the championship like we've always had at most, no dream to one day be in the top flight.. in fact people who do dream of something better are roundly mocked

Oh shit gone off topic a bit with my rambling, sorry chaps

I enjoyed the ramble.  

T'was positively on topic for ATD.   ....................Vera, pass the brown sauce.

 Too many dimwitted superfans reeled in by brent with silly hats n titles............... as predicted. The Trust WG plans were the way forward but as Pasoti led the fight to support the clusterfuck, it is they who will be remembered as sell outs and small minded janners................. they will revel in !it , like      in shit. 'James says the figures don't add up and we believe the banker !'

Plymouth gets what Plymouth deserves.

As long as I can get a pint of decent real ale somewhere in the new Gnome Park everything will be good.
Praise be the great James the saviour.
