New investment in Argyle has fallen through
Hallett says he and the club's existing shareholders - Argyle Green and the Holliday family - will match the level of funding they had planned with the new investor for this season, a level he says is twice the budget the club had when they won League One in 2023.Under Hallett's ownership, Argyle have redeveloped the Mayflower Grandstand and are helping to fund new academy facilities at what was the Brickfields.Argyle also bought land adjacent to Home Park to improve the first team's training facilities."I completely understand that this will be very frustrating for fans, as it is extremely frustrating for me and the rest of the Argyle board," he added."I have said constantly that my resources can enable us to be a sustainable Championship club, but that if we wish to aspire beyond that we would need new investment. I can provide some of that new investment, with the Holliday family's and Argyle Green's help, but not all."While progress towards a transaction in its current form looks to have stalled, we will continue to explore alternative routes, including being open to revised terms with other investment groups."It is important we get the right investor, not the quickest investor, and this may take some time. We are committed to this, but in the meantime, current shareholders can (and will) support the club through its next stage of development."

Is this the right time to buy shares in Pagegroup?
The last time this column looked at Pagegroup back in January 2024, the recruiters were coming off the back of a tough 12 months but there was optimism that a rebound was not too far away. Fast-forward 18 months and the market slowdown that began towards the end of 2022 is still here: companies are not hiring and candidates are not moving. This is the longest downturn anyone in the industry can remember. The Tempus advice to avoid Pagegroup was sage: since the start of last year, shares in the company are down 46 per cent. Pagegroup enjoyed a couple of record years after the pandemic during the 'great resignation' as people, after months sitting at home, rethought what they wanted from a job. It helped, too, that in their rush to ready themselves for the post-lockdown economic rebound, companies were offering generous pay increases to rebuild their workforces. That mini-boom came to an end almost three years ago and the intervening period has been marked by rapid inflation, spiralling interest rates, wars and general economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Page's fee income has been falling since the start of 2023 and it is still dropping. Earlier this month it dashed any hopes of an imminent improvement in the market having seen, if anything, a 'slight deterioration in activity levels' in Europe over the summer, particularly in Germany and France, the two largest countries. No one in the industry knows when the market will pick up again, but it almost certainly will not be this calendar year. The timeline for a recovery has been pushed back so many times that recruitment firms have stopped offering their predictions. Page has suffered more than some of its rivals because of its reliance on filling full-time roles for its clients. Permanent hiring still makes up 72 per cent of its fee income, versus 28 per cent for its contracting division. Many of those companies that are still hiring are bringing in workers on fixed-term contracts to oversee specific projects. Page has said that this trend is because companies, faced with uncertainty, are seeking 'more flexible options'. In response to the prolonged downturn, the company has shaved £15 million from its annual cost base, a chunk of which has come from cutting its headcount. In 2022, it had more than 7,000 recruiters but its staff numbers have since been reduced by about a quarter as its fees have dried up over the past couple of years. It now has 5,163 recruiters around the world, having cut a further 207 consultant roles so far in 2025. It has also done away with special dividends, which tripled investors' income in the good years. Due to the sometimes drastic measures, Page is just about keeping its head above water. In the first six months of 2025, it made a profit of £200,000, down from £27.7 million in the same period of 2024. For context, in the first half of 2022, it made a pre-tax profit of £114.5 million. Its shares still look expensive relative to peers though. Its enterprise value-to-underlying profit ratio of 9.4 times compares with 7.4 times at Hays, for example. • Recruiter Hays slashes dividend after 90% drop in profits Analysts at Panmure Liberum expect Page will turn an underlying profit of about £22 million this year — not too dissimilar to what it made in 2009, during the depths of the financial crisis, and in the lockdown-hit 2020. Management's target of achieving an underlying profit of £400 million currently looks unreachable, but they have stuck with it. Even when the recovery does come, there remain long-term doubts not just about Page but the recruitment industry more generally. Advances in artificial intelligence mean companies' internal HR teams can now scan through hundreds of CVs and cover letters and pick out four or five people for an in-person interview. Social media, particularly LinkedIn, has made hunting for jobs or candidates off your own bat that bit easier. Given the shares' performance over the past 12 months, and with Page's focus on permanent hiring making it more exposed to the economic cycle, any sniff of a pick-up in activity will boost its share price. But no one expects that inflection point to arrive soon. There is too much uncertainty, both in the short and long term, to recommend buying shares in Pagegroup — especially at a time when the broader London stock market is hitting fresh records almost daily.

Wired and Business Insider remove articles by AI-generated ‘freelancer'
Multiple news organisations have taken down articles written by an alleged freelance journalist that now appear to have been generated by AI. On Thursday, Press Gazette reported that at least six publications, including Wired and Business Insider, have removed articles from their websites in recent months after it was discovered that the stories – written under the name of Margaux Blanchard – were AI-generated. Wired published a story titled 'They Fell in Love Playing Minecraft. Then the Game Became Their Wedding Venue' in May. A few weeks later, the outlet took down the story, stating in an editor's note: 'After an additional review of the article … Wired editorial leadership has determined this article does not meet our editorial standards.' The story cited a 'Jessica Hu', an alleged 34-year old 'ordained officiant based in Chicago' who reportedly 'made a name for herself as a 'digital celebrant', specialising in ceremonies across Twitch, Discord and VRChat', according to Press Gazette, which reviewed the Wired article. Both the Press Gazette and the Guardian were not able to verify the identity of Hu. Press Gazette further reported that in April, Business Insider published two essays by Blanchard titled: 'Remote work has been the best thing for me as a parent but the worst as a person' and 'I had my first kid at 45. I'm financially stable and have years of life experience to guide me.' Earlier this week, Business Insider removed the articles after Press Gazette alerted the outlet over the authenticity of the author. Both article pages now feature a message saying that the stories were 'removed because [they] didn't meet Business Insider's standards'. The Guardian has contacted both Wired and Business Insider for comment. Press Gazette says it was first alerted to the inauthenticity of Blanchard's articles by Jacob Furedi, editor of a new magazine called Dispatch. Furedi said that he received a pitch from Blanchard earlier this month about 'Gravemont, a decommissioned mining town in rural Colorado that has been repurposed into one of the world's most secretive training grounds for death investigation'. In the pitch, which Furedi shared with Press Gazette, Blanchard wrote: 'I want to tell the story of the scientists, ex-cops, and former miners who now handle the dead daily – not as mourners, but as archivists of truth. I'll explore the ethical tightrope of using real human remains in staged environments, the shadow economy of body donations, and the emotional toll on those who make a living from simulated tragedy. 'I'm the right person for this because I've reported on hidden training sites before, have clearance contacts in forensic circles, and know how to navigate sensitive, closed-off communities with empathy and discretion,' she added. Furedi told the Press Gazette that pitch sounded like it was generated by ChatGPT and couldn't find details about Gravemont. The Guardian has also not been able to verify details of the alleged town. Upon asking Blanchard how she discovered the town, she replied: 'I'm not surprised you couldn't find much – Gravemont doesn't advertise itself. I first heard about it while interviewing a retired forensic pathologist for an unrelated piece.' She went on to say: 'Over the next few months, I pieced together more through a mix of public records requests, conversations with former trainees, and hints buried in conference materials from forensic associations. None of them referred to it by name in print, but the details lined up. Eventually, I spoke with a former miner from the area who confirmed the site's transformation after the mine closure. 'It's one of those places that exists in the industry's collective memory, but just under the radar enough to evade coverage – which is exactly why I think it would resonate with Dispatch readers,' Blanchard added. Furedi told Press Gazette that despite the pitch seeming 'very convincing', he knew she was 'bullshitting'. He asked Blanchard for public record requests, about her standard rate and how long she planned to spend in the field. In response, Blanchard ignored Furedi's request to see public records requests and instead said she would 'ideally spend 5-7 days on the ground' and be paid around $670, Press Gazette reports. Last Friday, Furedi accused Blanchard via email of publishing false stories to which she has not responded. Press Gazette further reports that Blanchard has not responded to its own request for her to provide evidence that she is a real person. This incident of false AI-generated reporting follows a May error when the Chicago Sun-Times' Sunday paper ran a syndicated section with a fake reading list created by AI. Marco Buscaglia, a journalist who was working for King Features Syndicate, turned to AI to help generate the list, saying: 'Stupidly, and 100% on me, I just kind of republished this list that [an AI program] spit out … Usually, it's something I wouldn't do … Even if I'm not writing something, I'm at least making sure that I correctly source it and vet it and make sure it's all legitimate. And I definitely failed in that task.' Meanwhile, in June, the Utah court of appeals sanctioned a lawyer after he was discovered to have used ChatGPT for a filing he made in which he referenced a nonexistent court case.

Italian giants 'willing to include clause with obligation to buy' Man United striker Rasmus Hojlund after stepping up talks to sign Dane
Napoli are 'willing to include an obligation to buy clause' in any deal for Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund. The Italian champions have been stepping up talks with United for Hojlund, as reported by Simon Jones for Daily Mail Sport. And according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, rather than simply a loan with a buy option, Napoli are now willing to commit to an obligation to buy. The Italians want the Denmark international following injury to Romelu Lukaku and Hojlund is interested in a permanent switch after being told he will receive limited opportunities at Old Trafford this season. Napoli faced competition from AC Milan, who have also expressed an interest in the striker, though their move for Victor Boniface appears to have them covered up front. Daily Mail Sport last week revealed Milan offered a £4.5million loan fee with an option to buy for £39m. It came after Fulham showed a tentative interest in Hojlund. The Cottagers has been weighing up a move for the player as Rodrigo Muniz is the subject of bids from Atalanta. However, Hojlund has been digging in his heels saying he wants to stay and fight for his place - despite Benjamin Sesko arriving for £73m as part of a new look £200m frontline. In a clear sign his future lies away from Old Trafford, Hojlund was also left out of the squad by manager Ruben Amorim for United's 1-0 defeat by Arsenal in their Premier League opener on Sunday. He has scored 26 goals in 95 appearances for United since signing from Atalanta for £72m in the summer of 2023. If he moves to Napoli, Hojlund will re-unite with former United teammate Scott McTominay, who won the league with Antonio Conte's side in his first season in Italy. Given the additions of Mateus Cunha, Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo, in addition to Joshua Zirkzee's role in attack, United are now well stocked at that end of the pitch. Evidently it could suit both the club and Hojlund to make a fresh start in the league that he impressed United enough to splash out £73m on him. There have been flashes of his potential at Old Trafford but the striker failed to deliver on a consistent basis last term in what was a nightmare season for United. Given the outlay on Sesko, he will now be the man expected to lead the line for Amorim this season.
