Last Saturday he was down at Argyle along with John Macevoy and one other. Obviously lots of rumours that he has a group together to take over Argyle with him already having already gone over things like the new academy being constructed. My question is what can we expect if he takes over and is it a good or bad move. Just wishing to know your opinions Good or Bad

Expect him to add music reminiscent of being in ibiza when he reckons he was a dj 😅
 
Well, we were floundering with no confirmed buyers and only alternative was SD and CM.
Look where we are now.
 
He and his brethren nearly made me fall entirely out of love with a club I’ve obsessed over since I was a small bairn.

What he’s like away from football I don’t know. But as a football administrator, he was superior, arrogant, abrasive, demeaning to others and self important. He was part of the worst period in SAFCs history. The day he departed the club was a happy day.

I think he’s alright.

Everyone goes on likes he’s some charleton looking for a quick buck, but he’s been involved with 3 football clubs and now this would be a 4th?

So he’s obviously a football man. He’s not buying distressed window cleaning businesses.

He was part of a group that took over us at our lowest ebb, the club stabilised at a dreadful level of football, took a harsh austerity lesson, but ultimately emerged far, far stronger for it.

I think if it had not been for Methevin we’d have a) sank worse than we actually did, recognising relegation to league one happened under Short and b) we wouldn’t be as strong now if it weren’t for him.

In 2005 I was arguing with SMBers about Sir Bob Murrays legacy. I’m sure time won’t heal as much as it did a local businessman who did so much for the city and the football club for so long as Sir Bob did, but regardless I would expect a softening of attitudes in time.

What a very poor take on the guy and what he was like.

Most arrogant arsehole to be involved in our club.

To say we wouldn't be as strong now is quite stupid, they ran us to the lowest point in our history. So no matter who came in, we would be stronger now!!

Do Argyle have a walkout song? Expect it to be changed
 
Dons a superb pair of salmon coloured slacks and like everyone’s said, talks utter shite and insults everybody related to your club! Sincere condolences mate.
 
All your young players will be sold for peanuts and the club shop will stock light pink chinos oh and your new walkout music will be live the Hacienda on a balmy 80s night
 
A bit of a prick. A posh boy who probably has self awareness but doesn't give a fck how he sounds or looks. Entitled.
