Reports in the local press show that Swindon have granted permission for Paul Sturrock to talk to Plymouth Argyle with regard to the vacant managers position.
A lunchtime board meeting was concluded at the Wiltshire club with Paul Sturrock making plans to go to Devon this afternoon to talk terms with the Argyle board.
Press speculation has been hot since the departure of Ian Holloway last week and the ex Plymouth boss has been at the front of every list seen in from fans and journalists since the job became open. Paul Sturrock, who has long been a favourite of the green army looks set to take up his position later on today, making his debut in the dugout for the top of the table clash against West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday night.
A report from the local Swindon press this Lunchtime suggests that Sturrock will say goodbye to the players before their afternoon training session (take notes Holloway) and go directly to Home Park to meet with the Argyle board. It looks like today could see the return of the king.

welcome home luggy!
Good to see the board moving fast to steady the good ship Pilgrim but I’m still not 100% sold on King Luggy’s return to the Home Park throne. Then again I was saying how much of a disappointment Nick Chadwick was just before he scored against Wolves! Prove me wrong Luggy!
Thanks Tim and Des. Great job on Saturday. Get up to Leicester quick before Oliie shoots off to Derby.
lets hope this time the king doesnt leave the building as elvise would put it!!!
Good Luck Luggy…. Shame he like Holloway has no loyalty…oh well. his was more of a “save face” of your chairman. Only way is down for Sturrock.
Easy option springs to mind here = big gamble —hope it works out for all…
hope king sturrock does go back to you then he can get the ovation that he deserves from us wednesdayites when you come up here next year.
no better than holloway , maybe he will do the same again
There’s now a post on the official site so it looks like it’s going ahead. Not sure about this tbh, hope he does really well for us like he did last time, however he’s not been that successful in his last couple of posts.
Only can turn out to be a bad move, how many managers succed on their second time around?
lets hope he can do it for plymouth -stfc weren’t doing that great under him not in the top 6.
