Something very similar has happened three times in the past 20 years, with Paul Sturrock making the step up to the Premier League with Southampton, Ian Holloway joining Leicester City and Ryan Lowe being lured away by Preston North End.
It was that latter development in December 2022 which led to Lowe's assistant manager being appointed by Simon Hallett and his Argyle board of directors, and what a wise move that turned out to be.
However, it has proved to be so successful that it was probably only a matter of time before another football club stepped in for Schumacher and took him away from his adoring Green Army.
That time has now arrived with the 39-year-old moving to Stoke. Even though Argyle will be well compensated for losing a manager they had under contract until the summer of 2027 it is still a significant blow.
