I remember in July we sacked two players, and didn't give them any compensation. Looks as though the Administration process has made sure we don't pay compensation, and Peter Ridsdale has acted quickly before the takeover is done.

I'd take compensation if they did that to me after everything I'd done for them. How are they supposed to find a manager that will take little pay. If they can't afford to pay the manager or the players for so long, how can they pay a new manager, never mind compensation if they take another club's.
Think he cares more the club and players than the board. He will be seething, but he's probably seen people suffer enough and just said to keep it. He is pretty much a top bloke.
Edit-didn't see Giggles post. beaten to it lol
Peter Reid isn't that type of person. He's never used the clubs financial problems as an excuse, and he would try and kick us in the balls like that. At the end of the day, that would be punishing the fans, for a cunty chairman.
Add Peter Ried into the equation and you're dividing by zero
Luckily for you it won't be Paul Hart, as he is our newly appointed academy coach
Anyway though I agree with this, TBH Reid has had no room for manoeuvre and didn't really have a prayer last year. Despite everything that was going on he achieved some good results at the beginning of the season. He had no control over the financial problems/ non paid wages/ points deduction etc.
Don't know too much about your squad this season so I can't really assess the league position, but it's clear to everyone that Plymouth have lost some important players. Fallon, for his faults, is experienced and talented at that level, as well as Mason and Bolasie. He is having to work with what essentially is a makeshift team. IMO you can't really blame Reid, but having said that a new manager could have a positive impact on the team.
Hopefully the off field problems will be sorted soon, as IMO that will be a huge weight off the shoulders of the players and staff. If that happens and they start getting properly payed again sooner rather than later, I could see Plymouth putting some results together.
BBC Sport - Plymouth Argyle name Carl Fletcher as interim manager
Great appointment imo, Fletcher is Pilgrim through and through. Can't wait for Saturday and see how he gets started. Fletcher & Larrieu the Argyle dream team! Good luck lads.

Not a successful record to say the least, so sacking not entirely unexpected, then again he did have his hands full with everything else. Plus just read that he sold his FA cup medal to help pay staff which earns him plenty of credit despite everything, results-based business or not. Better start preparing for AFC Plymouth with Ridsdale in charge though, more of a failure at his job than Reid could be at his
Sigh. The type of statement that is not only annoying, but very downgrading.
League Managers Association - Proud to say Peter Reid managed this club, what a gentleman.
