Article from BBC Sport- BBC Sport - Peter Reid leaves post as manager of Plymouth Argyle Peter Reid has left his post as manager of Plymouth Argyle after 15 months in charge.
The financially-stricken club are bottom of League Two with one point from nine games and lost 2-0 at Southend on Saturday.
"Peter has had to put up with more in a short period of time than most managers have to put up with in a whole career," acting chairman Peter Ridsdale said.
"Ultimately, whatever the challenges, football is a results business."

This is a disgrace. A Complete disgrace. The loyalty this man has shown for the club, he's gone 12 months without a full pay packet, had to re-build a squad of youngsters in the background of a shambles administration process- And then without giving him a proper chance to manage this football club, he is sacked? So Mr Ridsdale, who will he be replaced by? Exactly. I can't see anyone better than Reid taking over, and anyone getting some results.
When Reid first joined, he had a half-decent L1 squad. Noone, BWP, Reda Johnson- In January, we were 3 points behind the playoffs, and on good form. We were playing good football, and if we didn't have those financial troubles, we could of made the playoffs. Of course, the events after that, meant Reid had 2 hands tied behind his back. None of this is his fault, and quite simply its shocking. Thats Peter Ridsdale for you. Complete idiot.
Replacements? Anybody want to work for free?
Thanks for everything Peter- Your work will here will never be forgotten. :wub:
