The Bryn Consortium, which has agreed to acquire Torquay United subject to creditor approval, is delighted to confirm the appointment of Paul Wotton as First Team Manager. The Consortium also confirmed that Neil Warnock will join the incoming new Board at Plainmoor as Football Advisor. Wotton joins Torquay from Truro City where he enjoyed five successful seasons, including winning promotion to the National League South in 2022. He was formerly assistant manager at Plymouth Argyle. “Following a meticulous search, the Consortium Board agreed that Paul’s credentials and vision were most closely aligned with our own and he will arrive at Plainmoor as part of a restructuring of the football set up at the Club,” said Mark Bowes-Cavanagh, in-coming Co-Chairman. Devon-based Wotton has signed an initial three-year contract and will formally take up his post once the Bryn Consortium assumes day-to-day operations of Torquay United upon creditor approval of the CVA. Neil Warnock has managed sixteen clubs from the Premier League to Non-League, including a spell at Torquay United in 1993 which saved the Gulls from relegation. Warnock holds the record for the most promotions, with eight, and the most games with 1,626. “We are delighted Neil is joining the Board. He brings an unrivalled wealth of football knowledge and experience to Torquay United as we look to rebuild. There is a strong chemistry and mutual respect between Neil and Paul and we are excited about their approach to building a squad and the uncompromising brand of football they want our team to play,” added Michael Westcott, Co-Chairman of the Bryn Consortium. A Press Conference with Neil Warnock and Paul Wotton will be held at 4pm today.The post Torquay Name Their Man first appeared on Torquay United.
