Player Search - Who Will Turn Up?

I see the Herald Express are linking us with a possible move for free agent and former loanee Tommy O’Sullivan. Quite surprised by this, as I thought he was one of our least effective loan signings last season and hardly seemed to feature much under Owers either! He only made five starts + two subs...

Gary Owers

In Kevin Nicholson's four games in charge we picked up one point (Tranmere H 0-0, Aldershot A 2-3, Gateshead A 0-3 & Boreham Wood H 2-4); in the reverse fixtures under Gary Owers we picked up two points - Aldershot H 0-0, Gateshead H 1-1. In Robbie Herrera's six-match caretaker spell we picked u...

Talking Torquay

Rowland would be an interesting choice, and a potential good fit for this club in the future. He's played for Bournemouth, so geography possibly wouldn't be a major issue for him, and he would be following in the footsteps of Frank O'Farrell, Malcolm Musgrove, Stuart Morgan and Leroy Rosenior in hav...

Gus off to Hull

Apparently the Gus deal could see a striker move in the opposite direction.

Chester & Hartlepool

Ten point deductions for both teams would leave Hartlepool in the relegation zone - thus reducing the gap from safety marginally to nine points. Liquidation would see both sets of club's results expunged from the league records, meaning the point we earned against Chester back in September will be r...

Jim Parker Herald Express

If you compare our directorship situation with that of Argyle, Tony Wrathall has rejoined the Argyle board and Simon Hallett has since joined and both have put money into Argyle and own shares in them. CO has never made it completely clear whether that would be the situation at Plainmoor, or whether...

Cox achieved ten points from ten games despite Luke Young being injured during that time, which wasn't bad going.

Torquay United Association Football Club - Sole Director Clarke Osborne

Think Teigngull has a point with the local population, an awful lot have moved to the area compared to other parts of the country and Torquay is simply not their team, I know some do come here and follow and support the team but there is a lot of apathy and mickey taking towards us. No offence to a...

Next season in the Conf south

So how do Truro do it then? Even more remote than us, 5th in the league 6 pts off the lead with a game in hand with a team containing many of our rejects , Ben Gerring, Ed Palmer, Niall Thompson, Billy Palfrey, Jamie Richards.... Lee Hodges must be a hell of a manager, get him in here ! Lets not ge...

Management options

Risky in what way; surely not as risky as gifting the job to favoured old players with no managerial experience whatsoever..... Wilkinson has managed three clubs ~ Henley, Milton United; and for the past seven years, Hungerford Town ~ coached in the Reading Academy and brought little Hungerford up ...
