Whilst Torquay sit in 11th position in the National League South, we are BOTTOM of the form table.

We all know this is unacceptable and no one can understand why the club is not taking direct action.

Lost for words.

Still bottom of the form table with 5 losses in the last five games,

Actually in 12th position.

This feels very much like the Hargreaves season of 2014\15 (like many of us predicted and feared) but perhaps didn’t dream it could be this bad. Next season will likely be even worse will come to it that we struggle even to stay in the NLS. It’s clear where this is heading on the pitch and there are strong indications about where things are heading off the pitch. We must rid the club of Osborne and Edwards.

The club is not taking action because it suits their purposes. Gary is the perfect fodder to distract the fans whilst Clarke & co evolve their grand plan in the background. Anger directed at the manager or the players really is wasted energy. This all sits with those at the top.

Exactly this.

Well if GJ cares about this club and it's fans as much as he says, then why doesn't he resign, the club is being killed from the inside, GJ must know this. Being honest on a personal front, I won't be satisfied until Osbourne, Edwards, Hayman and Johnson have gone from our club the later have sold their souls to the devil.

Even if it does force the club into liquidation.

It’s can sometimes be difficult to assess whether something can be attributed to incompetence or a malevolent plan

However, the same people were in charge when we were at Ashton Gate in the playoff finals, so I struggle to square the idea of a grand plan to destroy the club with how much money has been put in. Let’s say it’s all about the real estate, having spent close to £7m on the club (albeit some of it repayable), how much would the land and its subsequent use really be worth?

There is definitely something strange going on, as I’m sure Clarke Osborne wouldn’t tolerate the same level of under performance in his other businesses, or maybe he does and lacks the conviction to let people close to him go.

Where are we in the discipline table? I wouldn’t be surprised after yet another red we’re near the bottom of that one too

Correct a community club fully owned by its supporters sit above us.

100% correct. So why is Osbourne convinced he's onto a winner. It is evident that football side of the business is not his key financial driver.

There's nothing either strange or incompetent going on at TUFC, Clarke Osbourne knows exactly what's he's doing and it's starring us right in the face, while GJ remains, while nothing changes at TUFC, Osbourne knows.

Any chance of new investment = zero
Any chance of new sponsorship = zero
Any chance of holding on all of the current sponsorship= slim/remote
The chance of season ticket sales collapsing= very high
The chance of attendances figures dropping like a stone= very high
The chance of protests gathering pace= very high.

Yet he sits there and does nothing, for those who haven't woken up yet, ask yourself why.

We have actually lost more games than we have won this season. Worst ever.

For those who haven't read Osbournes interview. Does anyone really believe him?
