How would you mark Argyle financial health


Football League clubs fear for future, BBC survey shows

More than two thirds of Football League clubs who responded to a BBC survey say they are worried about the financial health of teams in the world's oldest domestic league.
Falling attendances and rising player costs have combined to deflate the mood as the league celebrates its 125th birthday.
"These are very challenging economic times and football is no more insulated from the effects of the recession than any other sector," a Football League spokesman said.
"[We] remain focused on creating a sustainable business environment."
The survey, conducted to mark Late Kick Off's return to BBC One on Sunday, was sent to key decision-makers at all 72 Football League clubs last month.
Forty-one clubs completed it, with a further 13 declining to do so or saying they were too busy. The remaining 18 did not reply at all.

This just confirms most owners as wilfully blind. The prevailing theme here is "of course, we are a splendidly-run team and our situation is improving. But the rest of the league? Yeesh. They're toast".

I don't buy it. If you're concerned by falling attendances and you think players' wages are a problem, then by definition you are not in a good financial position.

What's the odds that in this glorious era of openess and transparency that PAFC declined to answer. Alternatively they blamed British Land for all their inadequacies.

Higher chance of seeing a big fat man in a Red coat with a herd of Reindeer than hearing any answers out of PAFC these days
