Thought he wanted to retire in Plymouth?

The role was a token gesture. I'll be interested to see who will take him on next.

Put your money on it being a job in Chilly Jocko Land, maybe near his spiritual home of Dundee.

Isn't he ill with Parkinson's?

Or did i dream that?

He is.

I read a piece on him just the other day. He's got a mild form of Parkinsons. He said he's unaffected by it as long as he takes his pills 4 times (I think) per day. He just gets a bit of a shakey leg sometimes.

Retiring in Plimuff is still the plan, but he wants to carry on in fball for a bit first.

MK Dongs?

Shame on him if he does :)

LUGGY = ELVIS

Maybe he'll manage Bury ?

Leaving through the back door.

Ruined his reputation there going back.

Spot on Spencer. Don't ever go back somewhere you've been a legend, you can only lose. Good piece on the Beeb about what's gone wrong there this season:

 :D


 :D Like what you did there.

Shakin' Stevens? Behind The Green Door? A joke in there somewhere? Maybe......too pissed to work it out......

They might want him back, Mariner seems deluded, and the board don't go up to games:



That is "the goal and...the hope" of the Argyle head coach, speaking after the Pilgrims' 3-0 defeat at play-off bound Nottingham Forest.

"There are no guarantees in football, but I don't think we're far off," said Paul.

"I'm 100% the right person to get this club up. I care about this club and know exactly what this team needs to be successful.

"We're not that far off. If you look at our results [this season], even though we have got a lot of losses, we haven't been played off the park by too many teams.

"So, if we just tinker with it a little bit, I think we'll be okay."

Although it has to be said Walter Smith has elevated himself to the position of Super Godlike Legend going back to Rangers!

surely luggy will enjoy his retirement on the south coast now?
maybe a bit of scouting too?

Crozzer, I dont know about Mariner. They did get some unexpectedly good results, like good wins at Barnsely and Scunthorpe. I can remmember that because I bet against them.

Remmember Southampton sacked Nigel Pearson when they were at the bottom of the Championship and he really proved himself a year later at Leicester, as Saints got relegated.

The real problem he has is that he doesnt look like a manager so people dont take him seriously! He looks like a poor mans Elvis Costello.

Didn't realize that Andy King was appointed "Head Scout" at Colchester United this year, moving from Plymouth.

Sturrock has sold his Plymouth home and is in the process of moving back to Scotland.
Argyle fans realised before the end of the 2008 season that his style of football and signings
weren't what they had hoped for and they started to turn against him in larger and larger
numbers during his tenure.Some of the criticisms have been personal and quite nasty.

It's very interesting to note that there has been a real about turn towards Holloway and
many wish he was still there.They feel that Stapleton duped them in blaming Holloway for
the impending loss in the quality players that they had at that time eg.Ebanks-Blake,Buzsaky,
Halmosi etc etc.

Interesting article including the possibility of an Exeter, Plymouth derby.

ah yes, the derby fixture that was "never ever going to happen again". I hope Exeter survive just for that fixture.

It was just as interesting when I posted the link yesterday  ;)

Meh, smugness does not become you.
