There's no quick fix as Argyle come to terms with changes

Plymouth Argyle managed two seasons in the Championship before returning to League One this season, with much change accompanying that. Chris Errington, long-serving writer for Plymouth Live, looks at where Burton Albion's opponents are at.

Tom Cleverley is the fifth different Plymouth Argyle head coach in two years.

IT IS difficult to have success on the pitch when things are unsettled off it and Argyle, as a club, are crying out for some stability after a number of recent significant changes.

Leaving aside the summer transfer window, when 18 players moved elsewhere and 15 new signings were brought in, there have been plenty of departures behind the scenes.

The latest came last Friday when it was announced that Andrew Parkinson was stepping down from his role as chief executive, which he had held since May 2019.

Argyle are immeasurably a better, more professional club than they were when Parkinson took over and he deserves credit for that (along with others at Home Park), as well as for the much-improved match-day experience for the Green Army.

It should be added, though, that as chief executive Parkinson also has to shoulder some of the blame for what has to be seen as poor decision-making over head coaches and player recruitment.
