The BBC report says he had one if a higher division club wanted him. There must be some compo involved though unless that was the only way he would sign the contract.

cidercity1987 Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 I am very jealous of Preston right about now. We should have got Lowe 18 months ago instead of pursuing Gerrard, Hughton and ending up with Holden 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 3 hours ago, GrahamC said: Geography is such a huge barrier for Argyle, there is only one FL club in a 100 mile radius & despite in my opinion being a bigger club than Preston, they struggle to recruit & retain both players & managers. I remember when Paul Sturrock was manager & they won back to back titles he said that he used to meet prospective signings in Taunton & try & get the deal done before they realised how far away they would be moving. Unless they concentrate on West Country talent (& interesting to me that 2 of our ex players James Wilson & Joe Edwards are both down there) this is always going to be an issue for them. Swansea pretty similar in terms of being an outpost but they've done alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess so, but only 40 miles from Cardiff & then a similar amount from us, all motorway too, so it just doesn’t feel far away. Plymouth really does seem isolated in football terms every away game is a huge journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they scouted well and early enough then they could and should do better IMO. I know they don't have an Academy set up like City have but they just have no presence anywhere in Devon and Cornwall. The catchment area for supporters is also huge but they are fickle as f@ck. As someone who has been around the local football season at a decent standard in Devon I feel the huge barrier you refer to is also part in there own making. That maybe so, but as someone who also lived in South Devon for 35 years and also played football their for many years they do have a big sleeping support. In the 70s early 80s they had coaches coming from North Devon every home Saturday game and support from Cornwall. Where i lived they had a pretty good folowing too. Argyle to me are on a level with us, they would attract crowds as we do on a level playing field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
