@argyle_analyst @lancstelegraph How do you know it's been unavailable until now?

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@Geddonyajanners @SamDown93 What an unreasonable expectation: that your supporters might support you (or at least not abuse you) for trying your best...

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@palmerjp89 Jay (hello mate!) you realise that's a different budget? I.e. it's not from money that ever would have been available for the first team?
I don't get why people are so against something that will have huge long term benefits, while we've still got a good budget in the short term

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@zakbrownz @FeedTheSpud It says the £12.5m is in addition to the operating costs of the club — i.e. it's a separate budget. I think it's very clear.

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@RobShanahan27 @Argyle Is your post intended as gratitude for shareholders raising *additional* funds for a long-term investment in the club's future success? Or do you not understand what 'additionally' and 'separately' mean here?

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@Charlot59756870 @Argyle Wages? Signing on fees? Agents fees? Or is money spent on transfers inherently better value?

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@jackolesliepafc Do see your point, but think there's also benefit this way round. I think an extra game with lower stakes is better for LAH to improve/gain confidence than the next league match.

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@olpafc_ @deanball__ I agree that Rooney was a mistake, but with a bottom three budget and that squad we might still have gone down with any manager. They can take accountability but don't know how you can 'expect' promotion any more than Luton, Cardiff, Huddersfield etc

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@olpafc_ @deanball__ I understand the frustration, but I don't think that's how the world works? There are lots of clubs similarly motivated to get promoted with similar/more resources. For me not 'settling for less' comes from a sense of being entitled to be in the championship.

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@olpafc_ @deanball__ All other things being equal (which they're not - we know we don't have the most resources in the division), I would expect top 6 clubs that hadn't just suffered relegation and the turnover of most of their squad to have a better chance

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@olpafc_ @deanball__ I love your passion, but for me "'should be getting promoted, no exceptions" is an example of the entitlement Dean's talking about. I'm sure everyone at the club is aiming for promotion, but a top 6 budget ≠ guaranteed promotion. Plus non-budget factors...

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@argyle_analyst Maybe! But it doesn't stack up to me that we would loan out for no fee, unless there were no other viable offers. In general it seems the fans (not necessarily you) increasingly default to assuming Argyle are being naive commercially, rather than give the benefit of the doubt 🤷

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@KQSupport it has been 10 days since I replied to your Customer Relations team by email, about my complaint 250610-14544670. I have sent several follow-ups; I've tried calling and spent an hour waiting with no answer. Do you think this is acceptable customer service?

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@JonPAFC @argyle_analyst ...so the agent says the only way the player signs a new deal is with the low RRC, leaving Argyle the choice of selling in 2023, letting the contract running out, or going with the RRC — I think the latter was the best option

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@JonPAFC @argyle_analyst Agreed. We don't know what other offers they were getting at the time - Hardie after scoring 17 and Randell after starting the majority of games at 22 in a title winning season. Plus Argyle may well have larger wage reductions built in for relegation than other clubs...

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@Argyle Does this mean all available seats (1500+ the 5% not renewed) are now available to the top of the list?
Previously there were >10,000 season tickets. So 5% unsold would be >500, meaning >2,000 now on sale. I'm below this on the list but haven't received an invite to buy.

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@NinjaMatt77 7. Fill it up with passion
8. Best possible

[Rowan @rowan_hm]

@ChiIdishDanbino I don't know what Schalke average for friendlies against third division foreign opposition, but I'm guessing that would require about 50,000 greens to go on a jolly to Germany's worst city 😂
