DIRECTOR George Synan believes the tremendous potential of Argyle is the key to our future success.

As a director of the K&K Shonan Management, Mr Synan will be in charge of the Argyle branch of the company controlled by Yasuaki Kagami.

Mr Kagami joined the Argyle Board in April 2008, and the Kagami Group recently increased its holding from 20% to 38%, while Sir Roy Gardner and Keith Todd have acquired 13% of the club.

"It has always been our strategy to try to add value to this club and we think we have achieved that with this new shareholding balance and the great team joining us," said Mr Synan.

"We feel the Board up to now has done a tremendous job and we are looking forward, with their experience, to take us to the next level.

"Mr Kagami runs a big business and we are a big company. I am the director of the company in charge of this investment, so it is natural that I am the person here overlooking this investment. I will also become a director of the club and I will be here a lot.

"We see tremendous potential here and we feel this whole transaction has added tremendous value to our investment, and that's why we wanted to increase our shares.

"I was sold on Plymouth Argyle by my good friend Tony Campbell and once Mr Kagami and myself looked further into the transaction, we saw it was a good club.

"Paul Stapleton runs a tight ship and with this new partnership, we have the ability to really take off from this point."
