Following the recent departure of Peter Ridsdale to become Chairman of Preston North End, Plymouth Argyle owner James Brent is facing his first major off-the-field related decision.
Whilst Ridsdale had his critics, after his well documented reigns as Chairman of Leeds United and Cardiff City, he was a man vastly experienced in the world of football with a considerable number of contacts.
Indeed, he played a key role in helping the Pilgrims secure the services of veteran defender Darren Purse on loan from Millwall with a view to a permanent deal when the January transfer window.
It is imperative that Brent appoints an experienced individual, with a similar level of contacts to Ridsdale, due to the club's position, at the time of writing, of second from bottom in League Two.
Recent results have shown that Argyle, under the management of Carl Fletcher, with a win over Northampton Town and a draw away at Bradford City to show from their last two league outings.
It is also vital that they get three points from their game with Hereford United on Saturday and continue to pick up points from their festive games against Bristol Rovers, Aldershot Town and Torquay United.
