Agreed Plymouth do have it all place to be Championship club again but it is not that simple, you only have to look at Leeds love or hate them they have all they need to be a top half premiership club, 8 years down the line form their fall from grace they have only just re-established themselves back into the Championship. And Portsmouth have it all in place to be atleast a top Championship club they have another 10 pt deduction to come will be in league 2 next season, they may never make it back to the top flight.
Thats the thing for Plymouth they have played more games than the other teams down near the bottom two, unless they post a coupled of wins and quickly they could find themselves being cut adrift depending on what the other teams do when they catch up with their fixtures. Had they invested £100k of that new stand money into the team they would have givem themselves a very good chance of pulling away but they didn't, instead they signed a centre back more past it than the one they lost and a midget striker who looks like he will never fufill his early potential .
Of course it may work out for them, if it doesn't, relegation to the bsp and promotion will back to the league will cost them 10 times that £100k figure and may result in their grand plans being put on hold and their chances of rising back throught he leagues back 5-10 years..and thats why I wonder whether they do have the money they say they do.
