Adams done everything he could to lift the club and increased attendances as a result. What more could he have done to get the support he needed in January?

DA kept Argyle top 3 for as long as he did despite brent. I don't care what the on message brentophiles say it's 100% brent's fault we'll still be stuggling div 4 shit next season. Don't worry though, DA will be gone soon enough - to a proper team with a proper owner.

BRENT OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oxford didn't put up with kassam whom is the same as Brent. A property developer. We just seem to tug our forelocks bow down and move on ton the next season it's sad really

Thick as pigshit all of them. They have the joke of a club they deserve. I'm out.

The cap doffing gene is strong in this neck of the woods, beggin'y'pardon squire. If the miners strike had happened down 'ere it would've lasted 3 or 4 days before the inevitable cave in. As a people, militant we aint.

They're absolute clowns but surely we don't have 8000 of them. Failure this season must surely spell the end of the reluctant one?

Has the tight fisted cvnt ever paid a transfer fee in his 5 years at the club?

i believe he paid a fiver for cowan-hall

I was thinking about this and January in particular earlier on when waiting for the inevitable " where's Messi? Do you expect Argyle to pay millions for a striker when we have debts to pay bullcrap?" and no I don't expect Messi, I don't expect a £4m striker to turn up even, not even a signing of £500k, I'd be gobsmacked if we paid say £150k for a Hourihane level player. What I was hoping for though was for Adams to be given enough of a wage budget to pay the wages of say four players of the equal to the players that Accrington, Northampton, Oxford and Rovers managed to sign with gates of 25% of ours or less. It's a fecking joke.

In this neck of the woods we would have had the union boss driving over to Poland to bring the scabs in for the bosses. We wouldn't have even had a strike.

My first post on here after registering a while ago. I have to be honest, I've found some of the anti-Brent stuff on here a bit extreme. I don't consider myself an 'Aviva' (whatever that's meant to mean, by the way), nor a freak (not sure about that either). As an exile (and I know that is a dirty word to some) I read both to try and get a feel for things. I started that thread as I couldn't believe some of the grief being directed at Adams. Has he got things wrong? Undoubtedly, but it just appears in the absence of Mellor or any of the other usual suspects, Adams is the next target. I felt my points were valid, but a part from one to two, most seem to gave missed the thrust of my argument.

The above sums it up for me, yet the main argument over there seems to be that Northampton, Accrington and Oxford ( ) are over-achieving, so why aren't we. I don't get it.

Am I disappointed at things sliding away? Of course. Did I expect automatic promotion this season? No.

I didn't intend my post as an anti-Brent rant, but the question of how long he gets a free ride is valid and not one of the replies seems to have considered that. Not trying to play to an audience with that, but constant scape-goating without the board being questioned is just starting to make me uneasy.

Keyboard militancy won't suffice.

The amount of Avivas on the FB groups blaming it all entirely on Adams is simply staggering with no mention of that lovely man at the helm.....

I'm lost for words where they're concerned. I really hoped "the fans get the club they deserve" would've been smashed down and beaten should we fail to go up this season but they're kicking their heels in deeper than ever. I'm at the stage now they can have their club, feck 'em. Plymouth Parkway seems a better bet.

Too many fans are thick and easily led. Green jim spotted this from the outset. That is why he rewarded his janner jamboy cheerleaders with seats in the DB, loyal Avivas like drummer boy n sue buckets get titles, he loves a tent, volunteers and a bucket rattle, while the sheep file in to rub shoulders with past 'legends' and get their mugs on GOS.

It is as predictable as it is cynical by the city boy.

From Animal Farm..................for 'Animalism' read 'Avivaness'

'But the luxuries of which Snowball had once taught the animals to dream, the stalls with electric light and hot and cold water, and the three-day week, were no longer talked about. Napoleon had denounced such ideas as contrary to the spirit of Animalism. The truest happiness, he said, lay in working hard and living frugally.'................and taking part in auctions, bucket rattles, the wheeling out ex players etc etc etc brain dead wannabes.............very sad.

That's about it Tringy - HP is our pen.

So youre not anti brent ? .no bother here son, you get posting !

Well look on the bright side - The Reluctant Bidder has at least given you a unique claim to fame.

You must be the only club to be taken for a ride by a rapacious property developer who doesn't develop any of your property.

I think we know that Jabba ,thanks for the insight

Although, despite the understandable gloom, you're hardly out of it yet, there are some interesting parrallels with our season in 2012-3.

Some of you may remember that we spent nearly all of that season until very late on (March/April) in the automatic or playoff spots, before stumbling at the final hurdle. We too had a thin squad that ultimately couldn't cope with injuries to key players. I suppose the difference is that we had a good reason for giving Tisdale the fourth-lowest budget in the division, whereas you have a supposedly wealthy former Master of The Universe financier in charge.

I don't really lurk on PASOTI like I do here sometimes, but if its true that the tone is predominantly one of attacking Adams - who seems to be a decent manager with a bit of tactical flexibility - instead of asking the blindingly obvious questions, then I'm surprised. I thought this would be the moment when things got a bit uncomfortable for the CITI/cityboy and his cronies. You have to hand it to them for being absolute experts at dodging flak ("chaff" is the word I think fighter pilots use - oh the irony).

BTW - somebody I know who works in SW football reminded me last night how I scoffed when he told me a while ago, while you were way out in front of the chasing pack, that he thought you would implode due to The Reluctant Bidder's parsimonious attitude and the consequent lack of depth available to Adams. (One thousand per cent true story).

You never mentioned it at the time.

Well obviously I haven't seen you play much, but it's not that long ago since I read and heard him being complimented in the media for shrewd  tactical changes and so on.

Lots of teams have played one up front at home, depending on the opposition and available players.
