If there is decent funding available, then Downes, Sims aren't the answer. Too inexperienced as managers, no real success on the CV. If we have no money, then yes maybe. Nicho is learning at Exeter and I can't really believe he'd come back. Proven manager, but one that embraces new ideas, no idea w...

Eastbourne have 4 better goals in that case Not if they lose and Taunton don't. A 5 goal swing would be necessary as Eastbourne will have a better goals scored figure, but that only needs eg 2-0 and 0-3 to be achieved. It probably will require Taunton to win both their remaining games to survive bu...

Taunton have to win both of their games to survive.

Don't wish to be pedantic but if you check you will see that a win and a draw could be enough for Taunton to survive if Eastbourne lose their last match away to Braintree.

Need to pull one out of the bag tuesday night.

Good - for whom?

Nobody cares about Jarvis he spends more time injured on current form and goals scored AJB will overtake him on goals scored by the season end. Spot the difference one is a full back on loan with passion and the other is a Marquis signing ! 🤔 I didn't realise that Jarvis was a member of European no...

On the basis that the Bristows threw money at the club until it ran out, then Osborne did pretty much the same, what does the future hold? Between them, the investment must head towards £10 million with little or nothing to show in terms of on field achievements. Part time football, possibly at a l...

Please stop! To align the existence of TUFC to a man who tried to redefine German socialism to control and harm other people has the intellectual equivalence of discovering there was no Santa Claus. Read and inwardly digest before making a comment which shows that you do not understand the point th...

I dunno - if your argument boils down to "but Hitler actually got a lot right!", it feels like you're onto a loser. The argument isn't that "Hitler actually got a lot right" the argument is that some things which were beneficial for Germany were developed whilst Hitler was in po...

You've tried to get what out of me? I've laid all the information out on here many times so if you're unaware that isn't my fault. I actually agree with a lot of what BigDave says except that he credits Osbo(u)rne whereas I don't. I was given information at the time, in confidence, and by someone w...

Do you that as a fact?? Did you know that there were other potential new owners looking to buy the club instead of Osborne? But they were pushed aside?? It was the players "fault." They missed them. Ever since that day Osborne took another route, for us to be where we are now. Blame the c...

I've heard it all now - Hitler and Osborne... It was blatantly obvious what he was up to - have you forgotten his "new stadium?" A mock up of one already used! If he was so keen for us to move to a new stadium, why didn't he just build one first? Oh, hang on, he's never done that before, ...

What you seem to forget is that Osborne saw an opportunity to to what he had done before several times. That is irrelevant and a facile comment. Whatever Osbourne's motive was for loaning money and taking ownership rather than forcing administration, it does not negate the fact that the Football Cl...

The nonsense continues Osbourne did not purchase the club at all We defaulted on a loan - that he would have known we couldn't have paid back - with ownership as collateral Lots of reasons why we were in that position in the first place....! Can't even be bothered to respond to the deluded postings...

I would rarely agree with culmstockgull but the fact still remains that Osbourne purchased the club before it went into administration, so one can assume that the previous owner chose to sell it to him. There may have been insider assistance, there may have been other interested parties who could/wo...

It's funny how you're always the first to moan at people if you feel insulted and there you go attacking those who don't fall for the nonsense of your pro Osborne mantra. It's no wonder the likes of people like Osborne get away with doing what they do when gullible people like you continue to defen...
