There is a break for Premiership and Championship clubs this weekend as International matches are played. Paul Sturrock of Plymouth Argyle must be happy to have the internationals take the attention away from the performance of Plymouth Argyle.
5 matches, 2 draws, 3 losses, no wins. 23rd in the Championship and currently in a position that would mean relegation at the end of the season.
Paul Sturrock has made a pledge to stay on and help Argyle turn the corner, rather than resign and move aside for someone else.
Now, it would very easy for me to say that Paul Sturrock should resign. It would also be relatively easy for me to say that Paul Sturrock should stay and help Argyle turn it around. But for me it’s never been about easy options, but about seeking and telling the truth. So here it is.
Paul Sturrock, the only person who can make the decision when or whether to go from Plymouth Argyle is you. Sure, fans like myself will say their piece, as they are perfectly entitled to do, but at the end of the day, only you, in your heart of hearts, will know if you CAN turn it around or not. IF you know you can, then you will have my full support. But if you know it is not possible for you to do this, deep down inside of you, then I would suggest that you step aside from the managerial role and make room for someone who can do it.
After the past few years of success that Argyle has enjoyed, this is the kind of start no-one likes to see. Second from bottom is not where Argyle belongs. We all know that. There is still hope for an automatic promotion place. But it has to start with the very next match, otherwise, even getting to a play off spot will be almost impossible.
