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:

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.
