In Part Two of our chat with the Argyle Chairman, Simon discusses the club's new football structure with Archie and Tom, before turning his attention to the loss of players following relegation — many due to release clauses — and how the club has since moved quickly to recruit new players in line with a brief for greater flexibility. He also shares his observations on the growing gulf between the EFL Championship and League One, and how the club intends to build on gains made through player trading to date.The trio then move on to the collapse of the transaction that would have seen new investors join the club, and discuss the fallout in terms of this season, future major projects, and the type of individuals Plymouth Argyle are seeking in the next round of investment.

Taking The Michael
Tom, Mark, Chris and Seve discuss the challenges facing Argyle as they prepare for League One. With Maxi in a taxi, the squad is amid a big rebuild but really lacking a talisman or three, and opinions vary as to whether we are in limbo, whether it is too early to say, or whether this is the extent of our buying power.The team then reminisce about the players to wear the no.10 shirt this century, in a sort-of quiz.

Adam, Shame
Is it the end of Season 2 or the start of Season 3 of the Pilgrims Podcast? Either way, Alex, Archie and Chris are back for a rambling summer special.Part One focuses on incomings both on and off the pitch. A new head coach appears to have met with universal approval, and there’s praise for the speed at which the club has acted to enable what promises to be a busy summer. Some new signings (and a few returning players who may feel like new signings) are discussed in the context of a reset in League One football.Part Two opens with a thank you to two departing legends and a detailed look at what the club has lost, particularly with the exit of homegrown Adam Randell. There’s a staunch defence of his career and his (understandable) decision to move on — which sparks a wide-ranging discussion on Argyle’s overall performance in the transfer market during the Hallett era. Finally, Alex and Chris share their thoughts on the TST 7-a-side tournament and a stellar, profile-raising commercial showing in the buoyant US ‘soccer’ market.Next stop: fixture release day. Can’t wait. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

They reflect on his time in charge at Watford — the impact he made, the struggles he faced, and the goodwill he earned from supporters along the way.The conversation covers Cleverley’s tactical flexibility, his ability to develop players, and the kind of culture and mentality he’s likely to bring to Home Park. They also discuss where he might need to improve, as well as looking at any potential backroom additions at Home Park. It’s a deep dive into the person, the coach, and what we can expect from him in this next chapter of his career. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
