FLW's Plymouth Argyle pundit gives his verdict on the upcoming summer for the Pilgrims

Barring a miracle, Plymouth Argyle's two-year stay in the Championship will end this weekend.

The Pilgrims need to beat the increasingly dominant league leaders, Leeds United, and hope for a 14-goal swing in the Luton Town result to complete an unlikely great escape.

Therefore, some Plymouth fans already have an eye on what Miron Muslic and the club will do in the summer if their relegation is confirmed.

FLW's resident Plymouth Argyle fan pundit, Chris, feels there are a few issues that need addressing, but none more so than ensuring that Muslic has the right tools in his arsenal to make an immediate return to the second tier.

Budgets and players must be available for Miron Muslic, according to fan pundit

"With our relegation almost confirmed with an unrealistic goal difference to make up on the last day, there are certainly going to be many challenges come the summer," Chris explained.

"I feel the biggest challenge for us will be to make sure we bring in the right players and the right style of football that Miron Muslic, who has done wonders for the club so far, will be able to implement."

Plymouth have earned the 11th most points in the Championship since Muslic's appointment in January, per whoscored, and Pilgrims fans will be desperate for the Austrian boss to remain in the dugout regardless of which division they find themselves next season.

"The key thing will be for the board to ensure that he has control of who he brings in and ensuring that the budget is there for him to do so," Chris continued.

"With the promise of an immediate bounce back to the Championship, I'm sure there will be many players that Muslic can convince to get on board.

"There also may be the opportunity to bring in the loan players who we already have, such as Darko Gyabi and Nikola Katic, who might be keen to continue the project here."

Plymouth may be in for a bigger reset this summer

If Plymouth are to be relegated following their home clash with Leeds, retaining their most important players ahead of a League One campaign may prove to be difficult.

"There are certainly going to be players who believe they are strong and capable enough to play regular Championship football and will want to move away," Chris said.

Whilst no speculation has been made on anyone leaving just yet, the likes of Ryan Hardie, Mustapha Bundu and even Muslic himself have proven they are more than capable of operating in the Championship.

Keeping their current manager in the dugout will be the main priority you'd expect for Plymouth this summer. If they do, you'd get the feeling that a prospective stay in League One won't last too long.
