New role for Gary

No doubt Cheltenham can look forward to a host of 'marquee signings', most of whom will spend more time in the treatment room and stand than they will on the pitch!!

TUST Updates

I might be being obtuse, but would someone enlighten me on the reference to '115 reasons'?

New manager announced - Paul Wotton

Initially, I considered the prospect of Paul Wotton as manager underwhelming. However, after learning that he will be in partnership with Neil Warnock, I take it back and see this as a very positive appointment. Neil Warnock has his detractors, but, at this level, his managerial experience and conta...

News on radio devon

I realise that Torquay is in a 'Mickey Mouse' league, but I would like to see someone with more gravitas than Paul Wotton appointed. That is not meant to be disrespectful to him but he's hardly set the world alight managing Truro, who narrowly escaped relegation.

Bryn Consortium Take-Over

Not being a lawyer, is it definitive that the consortium is the new owner or are there further legalities that have to be completed before any deal is finalised?

Potential Buyers

I've said it before and make no apologies for repeating it, but if the infandous Edwards and Hayman are involved it's RIP Torquay United.

Torquay United v H&W Sat 20th Apr 3pm

Why would Torquay United want to sign any players from Taunton who have proved that they are not good enough to play at this level? I hope to be proved wrong, but I remain highly suspicious about the secrecy surrounding the identity of the preferred bidder. As previously mentioned, other clubs are o...

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.

The secrecy surrounding the potential purchaser is nonsense because there was more openness from the Soviet Politbureau than there has been from Torquay United during, and now post, the Osborne regime. I read on an almost weekly basis of named prospective purchasers of other football clubs. If they ...

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.

I'm reluctant to bring a touch of realism to all of the triumphalism. However, it shows the dire state of Torquay United that fans are celebrating the fact that it has avoided relegation to the 7th tier of English football. While not knowing the identity of a prospective purchaser - yet more nonsens...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

I don't wish to be the purveyor of doom. However, in my opinion, it shows how far this club has fallen that contributors to this site are relying on the failures of part-time clubs to keep this full-time club in this league. I realise that the points' deduction has played its part, but as I have com...

Staying Up - Relegation Battle

It's an absolute disgrace that these so-called professionals may have to rely on other results going their way to escape relegation. They have now lost 19 games in what is, predominantly, a part-time league. I know it wont happen, for practical reasons, but I would get rid of the whole squad, togeth...

Ross Marshall

That's an insult to Tesco shelf stackers, most of whom are pleasant and competent individuals.

Marshall is a complete and utter tube with the intelligence of an amoeba.

I suppose he might get employment as a scarecrow!!

Welling v Torquay Sat 6th Apr 3pm

I was castigated some time ago for commenting that Marshall was a complete and utter numpty who should consider another career.

Today, I rest my case.
