SIMON Hallett believes it is possible for newly-promoted Plymouth Argyle to be a sustainable Championship club despite the ‘eye-watering’ losses made by clubs at that level.
Hallett wants to see the Pilgrims become a fixture in the Championship by continuing to spend their money more wisely than their competitors.
It is a tactic which has worked well as Argyle have gone from League Two in 2019 to the Championship for next season.
Hallett told Herald Sport: “I’m proud, wildly overjoyed and I think the one that slightly surprised me is that I just feel a great sense of satisfaction.
“We have done this the right way. We haven’t gone out and spent large amounts of money. We have achieved this promotion while investing in the ground, investing in our fans, making the whole experience of being associated with Argyle a better one.
“I think we should feel not just pride and so on but satisfaction this has been a job well done, and I kind of like that.
“If you remember going back fourand-a-half years we wanted to become a values driven club, and we wrote down what our vision was.
“Our vision was to be a successful football club supported or respected by everyone in the south west, and many beyond.
“We have come a long way towards that. We are getting national recognition for our community work (Argyle are the League One Community Club of the Season), for our stadium, for our manager, for some of our players.
