Pair of them are the size of a pecker in a blizzard. I always saw Plymouth about the same size as say Bristol City or Reading , prob a bit less so. A lot less so, I reckon. Bristol are a much bigger club, while Reading has had spells in the Prem.

The big positive is...
He isn't Alex Neil or Mowbray
Fresh start and a window around the corner.

Let’s just all get behind him, let’s see what he actually does with the team in the short term and see how much the results and performances change.

At no point in their history have Plymuff ever been a big club. Vale are bigger than Plymouth. They simply aren't Same number of FA Cup semi finals and have had higher finishes in this division (back in the 50's mind) Plymouth are bigger than Vale but have more in common with them than us

Personally I think this will be a disaster. Just won’t be able to cope and step up. Who ever took responsibility for this will have to be axed. Got Nath all over it. They're above us in the league, so technically it's a step down.

To be fair we’ve covered our bases there can be no doubt he knows how to win league one if the worst happens . I really fear for him if he doesn’t bring the Plymouth recruitment team with him Come on Benjy for once try to be positive. He hasn't even had a training session with the lads yet and you're putting a downer on it. I’ve nothing but support for him , I’ve said all along Neil was hopeless but the core issue is Martin and Jared until they are replace. SS is set up,to fail . Just reflect for a minute these blokes thought Wesley , Mmaee , vidigal , juno , the Algerian , the long lost Montenegro express and chiquino , constitute a championship forward line and spent millions creating it , he’s bonkers if he takes it with those two in the system .three not a proper championship player between them hence Campbell is our only half decent forward

Always seen them as a 3rd/4th tier club like PV. I know both have been to the 2nd tier but they’re mainly 3rd/4th.

Luton are in the Prem..don't see the logic there. Don't see Reading as bigger than Plymouth at all because they were in the Prem a few years back

Can spot gloryhunting parasites a mile away. Argyle are clearly his second club. There's a mixture of emotion on that thread on pasoti, a lot of anger and people hoping we get relegated, but others are more pragmatic and accepting. If Schumacher is the success we all want him to be here and he gets poached by Everton, how will we react? Be grateful for what he has done for us or hope he burns in hell? Football fans really are utterly deluded about the people who's job it is to WORK for our clubs. BM All the same mate after reading some of the comments on their forum about us and our city, I hope the fuckers end up with Nathan Jones and he takes them back down to the lower leagues where they belong. Just had a look on their forum and most of them will be happy with Jones. Tbf mate baring a couple they seem a decent bunch

This isn’t very data-driven or whatever but sheer balance of probabilities alone means we have to get a managerial appointment right eventually.
Have no idea how it will go long-term but do think the ground will be rocking Saturday and we’ll get a much-needed win now.

If it is Schumacher then let's hope he wasn't riding someone else's wave. I would rather a manager who has spent a few years at a club and been successful rather than just 12 months. Preston have been doing well so he may well have been left with a very good team at Plymouth. It's getting to the point where we just want someone to come in and get to work now, get ready for the transfer window and hopefully we can kick on. It’s ok saying that but as I remember Plymouth we’re a bit up and down until Schumacher took over then they were more consistent Schumacher has managed Plymouth for just over 2 years. Percy’s reference to 12 months is inaccurate.

“Never had a budget before Mr Rowett..,, ? err I mean Mr Schumacher, welcome to Stoke’
‘As you’ve never had a budget before we’ll put you in charge, alright la?’
I guess he’s been brought in to coach, and won’t have much to do with recruiting, selecting players.

So we revert to type - not even that as we've just stuck to type and Johnny Foreigner was never even on the cards.....young, upcoming, domestic, cheap and more high risk being the order of the Coates day.
So here we go again tempting fate, karma and schadenfreude through poaching another clubs manager - just waiting to have our noses rubbed in it.
At least we now know where our owners stand on the future of the club and the level of their ambition despite the repeated debacles since the Hughes exit.
I will of course wish him well and hope he can buck the trend of a long line of losers and no marks.... time will tell.

Don't you ever get bored of being so negative all the time? You have absolutely no idea how this will go It’s just so disappointing we go small time all the time. This guy has done nothing to warrant this job and especially the state it’s in as we speak. Needs an experienced head in my opinion. Just not going to be able to tolerate that Scouse accent after a loss as well!

So not so lost after all.
