If only........................... :'(

Is Hargreaves fit for purpose?

Incorrect in my view. Nothing wrong in delivering an honest assessment as to how the game has gone, no manager should come out and say half my players aren't good enough and most will be gone in the summer with 15 games still to play, end of. A skilful manager keeps that to himself. No wonder the p...

Team Spirit

Every player needs ambition to be the best they can be.

Play lads who WANT to play rather than players who HAVE to play.

Team Spirit

The high earners that don't give a shit and are causing problems in the dressing room should basically have been told to sod off on matchdays and go and help sell programmes or whatever. They shouldn't be anywhere near the first team. CH at some point has to bring in people on peanuts so he may as w...

£300,000 Off The Wage Bill

You're not wrong there. Actually he IS wrong. At no time have a said that i 'don't give a shit about Torquay United'. In fact outsiders viewing this forum may think i care more about them than a fair few of it's fans given the total lack of activity on here. This site is a vehicle for many fans to ...

£300,000 Off The Wage Bill

Andy, an excellent summary (if that's the right word.. :~D ) of events over the past two or three seasons, except for one thing: your assessment of CH and his abilities as manager is absolute bollocks..!! CH has let nobody down. He has been manager for just a year in his first managerial post and i...

£300,000 Off The Wage Bill

"No manager ever, be it football or business, is going to get all their hires right. But I would go as far as to say Knill got them almost all wrong. That is unforgivable in any industry, the fact that Hawley, Tongue, Benyon etc had some pedigree but were terrible for us is Knills fault, wheth...

£300,000 Off The Wage Bill

Dave, i agree in the main with your points but when you say that no fan spoke up when Knill signed all this rubbish that was because nobody was to know they would turn out that way. Knill himself couldn't know either but HE was the only one who was in a position to something about it either by impro...

Jarvis sent out on loan to Aldershot for remainder of season with no recall clause. It would appear that he has played his last game in a York shirt. From what i've seen of him at both Torquay and York he is another that is not league 2 standard IMO but i wish him well.

Well if they won't be, i've been thinking about this tonight and would be awesome if we could as TUFC fans do something! Is it enough? I don't know, but it could be and i don't mind giving it a dam good go! Feel free to pledge if the target isn't reached your money is refunded http://www.crowdfunde...

£300,000 Off The Wage Bill

I also think it is important to note that when Knill took over he had been left some shite by Ling such as Cruise, Bodin, Benyon and Craig, he then signed his own shite like Mozika, Hawley, Harding, Tonge, Chappell (turned out to be shite in the end which very much surprised me actually - looked a r...

£300,000 Off The Wage Bill

When i went to the Kassam last in January last season in what was CH's first away game in charge of the Gulls, Torquay were 2nd bottom and 2 points off Bury. With 20 games of the season still left to play i may add. What i witnessed that day was a Gulls performance more alarming than most under Knil...

Re: £300,000 Off The Wage Bill

To be fair, i did slightly hint at the fact that Billy Bodin was never going to produce the goods after only a handful of games...... :O :lol:

Re: Ex-Gull watch

Bobby. Awesome today at Wycombe. Some York fans saying the best 'keeping' performance seen for 30 years!

Still lost 1-0 but it could have been 10.
