Maybe your contradictory posts are just a little confusing.

So there are other reasons why it might make sense then? By the way, it's not a personal dig at you. I just think we all need to keep every option open as at the moment we are headed for oblivion if things don't change and then it won't really matter who owns the ground as there will be no team to w...

Neal. Of course it was a response to you. You said anyone wanting the freehold has ulteria motives so please clarify that you also felt this when Thea Bristow stated her intention to buy. What exactly was her ulterior motive? I'm genuinely interested in your view. As for not providing a reason why o...

To be fair to eddyh I don't think he meant it literally. More pointing out that wanting to purchase Plainmoor doesn't necessarily mean bad news for the club. I read a very big tongue in cheek.

Thanks Phil. Mushroom - words fail me

Good job that evil Thea Bristow didn't get her grubby hands on it then. Or was that different?

I'm sure most people don't mean it this way but does anyone else find it a bit patronising. I'm away working so won't be there Tuesday and to be honest I'm quite glad about that

So our publicity loving DoF / manager decides to duck facing the media after that and sends out his sacrificial lamb Ramshaw to front up. What an absolute disgrace he is. We all know that had we fluked a result he would have been all over the media claiming his own genius. If the clubs wants to save...

Well while everyone was sitting on their backsides in the summer as the club was about to go bust, Edwards and Breed put together a package - the ONLY package - to keep the club running. How long for, we don't know. However, at least they went above and beyond to rescue our football team. My questi...

Please let's not include Edwards when talking about fans of the club. He is an employee and has managed to keep himself gainfully employed through the worst spell in our history. The commercial aspect of the club was a disaster under his stewardship but now considers himself some sort of football ge...

And we all thought the last lot had no idea about customer relations!! Don't worry, on Monday we will have plenty of soundbites from our DoF / Manager.

I was never one of the people who felt that the current board were any more than the best available at the time, well actually the only option at the time and of course there has to be gratitude for saving the club if indeed that is what they did. However, not having the knowledge or understanding t...

No kids for me mate. Just questioning the credentials of people being appointed to important roles. If we are not allowed to do that then that's fine.

Dean Edwards as commercial manager was probably in the same situation as a top chef locked in the cloakroom and unable to get into his kitchen. Oh please let's not recycle his own comments that were a bit naff anyway. My observation is that he was employed as commercial manager and was bloody awful...

Looks a lot to me like positioning nice little jobs for themselves in the new set up. Not sure how many million pound companies Steve Breed has run so the jury is out there for me. Dean Edwards however has done a dreadful job on the commercial side in my view so I've little or no faith in his abilit...

This notion of part time football is just not workable in Torbay. The part time footballer thing is fine. It's the other job that's the problem as decent employment down here isn't exactly plentiful last time I looked. If we drop far enough then we can get part time players at that level but that is...
