In what has been a testing campaign for the Pilgrims, they were unable to avoid the drop back into League One, an outcome which has left a bitter pill for many of the Green Army to swallow. Muslic - who only arrived in January following the departure of Wayne Rooney - has overseen a marked improvement in both performances and results since his arrival, but it was all in vain as Argyle joined Cardiff City and Luton Town in being relegated. “We are relegated now for seven, eight days. Believe me, I’m empty,” said Muslic, whose side took the lead against Leeds only for the Yorkshire giants to hit back and secure the win with an injury-time winner from Manor Solomon. “I don’t have the power right now to think about the potential future because that takes a lot of focus, a lot of concentration, a lot of energy. I don’t have this energy right now. I need to go back to my family to see them, to recharge, to breathe and then again we have enough time to think about the future.” Although the season ultimately ended in disappointment, Muslic was quick to reflect on his time so far in Devon.“I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to work in a fantastic club, a fantastic organisation,” he said. “So when I look back over the last four months I’m proud, but also very disappointed because in the end we could not make it. “I have nothing but true love and respect for the Green Army, I feel very fortunate to represent Plymouth Argyle as the head coach. Their effort over the last four months was just mind-blowing for me.” Comments Tel: 01548 853101[email protected]Follow us Further Links Owned or licensed to Tindle Newspapers Ltd. | Independent Family-Owned Newspapers | Copyright & Trade Mark Notice & 2013 - 2025 Miron Muslic joined Plymouth Argyle after leaving Belgian side Cercle Bruges in late 2024 Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslic has refused to confirm whether he will stay on at the club next season The 42-year-old Bosnian-born Austrian took over in January following Wayne Rooney's departure but was unable to stave off relegation from the Championship Argyle ended the season second-from-bottom, three points from safety, after a late 2-1 loss to champions Leeds United at Home Park The Pilgrims had a resurgence under Muslic as he guided Argyle to a famous FA Cup upset over Liverpool and five wins in their final 10 league matches who won just once in the final 14 games of Rooney's tenure at the end of 2024 had left themselves just too much to do to secure their second-tier status Muslic demands 'answers' over Plymouth's future From Rooney to relegation - why Plymouth are on brink of drop Leeds seal title with late winner as Argyle go down On Thursday, Muslic, who agreed a three-and-a-half year deal when he joined the club, said he wanted "answers" over the futures of a number of key players He also called for clarity over who Argyle's new technical director will be as well as appointments to the recruitment department "I'm empty - we are relegated for seven or eight days believe me I'm empty," Muslic told BBC Sport "I don't have the power right now to think about a potential future because that takes a lot of focus a lot of concentration and a lot of energy "I don't have this energy right now I need to go back to my family to see them to breathe and we have enough time to think about the future." but will Yamal build legacy to rival Messi Trailblazer Zhao set to take snooker to 'another level' in China Alexander-Arnold leaves as modern Liverpool great - but fans will feel hurt The final series of Man Like Mobeen has arrived John Simm stars in the provocative 90s drama Warm-hearted comedy with Ben Miller and Sally Phillips Follow two ambitious river restoration projects Who has made Troy's Premier League team of the week Zhao beats Williams in historic final - highlights VideoZhao beats Williams in historic final - highlights 'Scheffler and DeChambeau wins further raise US PGA excitement levels' Match-fixing scandal to Crucible champion - fall and rise of Zhao 'We need to take a look at ourselves' - Arsenal stalling at wrong time Palmer's brilliance could be key moment in Chelsea's Champions League quest Europa League 'papering over cracks' for Man Utd - Rooney VideoEuropa League 'papering over cracks' for Man Utd - Rooney Ask Me Anything the new BBC Sport service designed to serve you Bayern's 'James Bond' - how Kane clinched his first trophy Nine bolters with a shot of making the Lions squad How 'absolutely outstanding' Palmer 'destroyed' Liverpool VideoHow 'absolutely outstanding' Palmer 'destroyed' Liverpool Still number one & 'sparring' with Draper - return of Sinner Saints 'punch' favourites Leinster in game for the ages VideoVardy the best £1m ever spent - Shearer Poppy's tears Elton John & Happy Gilmore - McIlroy on Jimmy Fallon show Two opposing views on football's transgender ban Copyright © 2025 BBC.

But they did not say where exactly the sobriety checkpoint will be located or how long the checkpoint will be operating each day "The selection of vehicles will not be arbitrary, safety will be assured, and any inconveniences to motorists will be minimized with advance notice to reduce fear and anxiety," said the written statement. There is a reason why the Massachusetts State Police are doing this again "The purpose is to further educate the motoring public and strengthen the public's awareness to the need to detecting and removing those motorists who operate under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs from our roadways," the statement said The sobriety checkpoint is paid for by a grant from the Office of Grants and Research of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, State Police said.

On that occasion, the Leeds experience left its mark on Bournemouth, but in turning the town over as well as its football team the early indications for this weekend are far more promising The Athletic spoke to the force incident manager at Devon and Cornwall Police who said the vast majority have been well behaved While it was a busy weekend with many more people in the city and there had been far more incidents than on a normal weekend there was not a significant amount to report Leeds supporters do not need a second invitation to follow their team anywhere on the planet the start of this journey to silverware on the south coast underlined that fanaticism The location of the team’s pre-season training camp in Germany was kept secret at the request of the local police Every fraction of coverage from that camp was inspected for any shred of evidence that would give away the team’s location Even the sound of a nearby bell tower in the background of one training video had to be scrubbed for fear of supporters working out which church it was There were some clues in the media from the camp but not enough to guarantee where the team would be Despite that uncertainty and clear instructions to stay away taking the chance they might catch their heroes in the flesh They were pitchside for the first of two secret friendlies If they were prepared to take a flyer on a German backwater you can imagine the appetite for a trip to Devon The sticking point was the ticket allocation Leeds would be allowed a little over 1,600 supporters inside Home Park Demand outstripping supply does not really do this problem justice there were some fans of virtually relegated Plymouth keen to pass on their tickets in the home end for a tidy profit but the club tried to deter this as much as possible The ejection of two Leeds supporters from the home end in the 60th minute showed this was not entirely successful The dozens of people in the home section asking Leeds players for pictures was another sign of away fans getting where water couldn’t thousands descended on Plymouth knowing they would not get anywhere near the stadium Whether they were making the 12-hour round-trip from West Yorkshire or elsewhere this was not something any of them wanted to miss Will Leeds ever lift a trophy again in their lifetime This could be the club’s last and fans have to suck the marrow from the moment Matthew Brown travelled over from Weymouth with his son Jack This was their second shortest trip of the season but they have both put the miles in this season “We travelled down this morning (Saturday),” he told The Athletic “We’ve passed so many Leeds fans in the service stations just coming across the south coast from Weymouth “Half of them haven’t even got tickets for today That shows how class the Leeds United fans are I was speaking to a Plymouth fan earlier and he said he can’t believe how many people have travelled down It goes to show how big Leeds United really are.” one of six in a group of dads and lads from the Hull area has had his hotel booked since the fixtures were announced last summer They got lucky when the date remained unchanged We booked our hotel as soon as the fixtures came out It’s something we planned that far in advance We set off from Hull at 11am yesterday (Friday) and we got here at sixish.” The driving just isn’t something this breed of fan gives a second thought to It’s an obstacle between them and their religion A hurdle that’s easily cleared on the road to salvation You do it because you just might catch yourself sharing a pint with the most iconic living human being associated with Leeds United “It’s to be a part of the atmosphere,” said Daddy the flags of the country’s Leeds United branches the billionaire heir who sits on the board “That is the main thing for everyone,” said Oliver Medd “As good as it was the other night at the Bristol (City) game it would have been even more special the first time round (in 2020) but you can’t complain because it was still unbelievable the other night good vibes and then seeing Eddie Gray come out there Daddy and thousands more returned to the Barbican to watch the match on television at pubs it was all about being together and feeling at least geographically close to what was happening 10 minutes up the road It was not a match which will live long in the memory the academy graduate possibly playing his final game for the club faced the ignominy of an own goal as the rest of the team looked like it had been celebrating for 10 days

Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInPLYMOUTH CT (WFSB) - A swingers club in Plymouth was forced to close its doors following a town meeting Tuesday night The club had been open since a cease-and-desist letter was given on March 28 The meeting was contentious and went on for hours presented their arguments for why it should stay open All the people here do not agree with it morally,” argued Jodi Gagne a pastor for the Riverside Baptist Church and dozens of parishioners said that the club was being illegally operated and violated zoning laws The club’s location was 30 feet from the church “As I pray daily for the growth and love and protection of my own family I have prayed and continue to pray for the owners and members of the Wicked Fun Club,” said Matt Marcella The board said that the line in the appeal that read “consenting adults engage in adult sexual activities” is what led them to vote to shut the club down The town has specific adult use regulations in place for businesses like adult bookstores and adult entertainment cabarets Plymouth officials said that the club fits into the adult use category of business and one requirement is to be 1,000 feet away from a church People at the meeting against the club stated that its existence is not just sinful behavior “Our church shares a parking lot and the operation happening there directly affects our congregation and families who use our building every week We have no choice but to speak,” said assistant pastor Anthony Frazier Steve Gagne argued that the business is just a private members-only social club and doesn’t fall into the adult category We are not open to the public as membership is mandatory We are not a cabaret or adult entertainment venue We are not a brothel or commercial sex establishment,” Steve Gagne said A club member also attended the meeting and believed that the community was being targeted for its moral beliefs “It’s about the discomfort of people living differently Frankly it starts to feel a little familiar The last time we punished people for their private behavior well it was the Salem witch trial,” said club member David Epstein but to whose standard is it to my standard to God’s standard If they’re not hurting anybody and it’s not out in someone’s face and in public showing everyone what it is then why should they get closed down,” said Tim Terwilliger “I think they should let them do what they want to do They were already in there,” said Billy McFarland Gagne said that he does plan to file a lawsuit against the town and is already looking for a new location for the club The building’s landlord said that he did not know what Gagne was going to use the space for and was going to start an eviction

that could fund beautification projects Watch the video report from Christiana Ford: Rebecca Nicholson saw potential in a condemned building being renovated in Old Village Plymouth "I just always had my eye on this spot even in that state," said Nicholson The owners gave new life to the abandoned space leasing it to Nicholson to open East Elm Kitchen Co "I was hopeful and we had done our research

has been planning events supporting and preserving the area for 40 years "We've been trying to get the attention here for a long time and finally we're starting to see that it's coming," said Horstman city leaders are in early conversations about reinvesting the money into the area by creating a corridor improvement authority "What that would really allow for is economic development of an area," said Jennifer Kehoe A resolution of intent to create a Corridor Improvement Authority (CIA) was approved at the last meeting Kehoe says it's inspired by the success of the Downtown Development Authority and behaves in the same way Kehoe says the proposed plan is still in the early phases it could capture between $90,000 and $150,000 a year "Some of the projects might be new lighting There are endless possibilities of what could be done here," said Kehoe Horstman hopes this funding accelerates the ongoing transformation This story was reported by a journalist and has been converted to
