Torquay United Fans Forum

Our underlying problem is that we have not been able to run TUFC on a sound financial footing. Between 1500 - 2500 paying supporters have seen their well earnt matchday contributions thrown down the drain week in, week out. We have enough history to have a good idea of our total running costs. We'v...

My God there's a lot of emotional claptrap on here from the usual protagonists. Talk of packing it in now and starting again is just plain stupid. We are where we are at the moment. Let's see if the current owners do something to try to keep us in this league. After that, it's all just conjecture at...

Begin? The reasons haven't changed, the scenario is playing itself out nicely for someone........... Your dislike of Harrop for whatever reason is fine , you have your reasons but there can simply be no defence of Nico. The shambolic defending has been a feature since day one. I've said all season ...

This money wasn't paid over to keep us up - it was paid as part of their grand plan to put a noose around the club's neck. This interview, just like the very clever period of silence that preceded it, to allow emotions to calm down, is all part of the same plan. I entirely see why many of us are ch...

Playing devils advocate, you could make the argument that they have previously made the cash injection. £100K plus of their money was used to keep us up last season. Unfortunately our clueless manager has since assembled a relegation squad and now we want them to fund another escape. I am by no mean...

I think he came across well to be honest. There will be lots that will never trust him and a level of scepticism is healthy but we have little choice other than hope he can deliver on his words. As I see it, the club was basically dead without this takeover. It may all end in tears but that would ha...

To be fair, if I was the general manager and Nico had blown £850 per week on Shaun bloody Harrad, I wouldn't let him sign anyone else either. If we really have wasted that sort of money then it's just another reason why this manager needs to go. We are a club that needs to get by on a low budget, th...

Nicholson's bare faced cheek to lay that disgrace at the hands of the players is nothing short of embarrassing. He is so far out of his depth it's ridiculous, and needs to be replaced before he takes us down and the club basically dies. Today was a joke tactically but his squad has absolutely no bal...

Surely a play on an Eminem song fits one player perfectly

He's Sam Chaney
He's the real Sam Chaney
All the other Sam Chaneys are just imitating
Will the real Sam Chaney please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up

:~D :~D :~D

I think the current squad is the basis of a decent one but it should be improved over the summer and that means being pretty ruthless. For me I would let the following go as there are simply better out there Harrod - too slow and a better quicker player would have a field day playing with Blissett H...

I'm all for giving people a chance and of course will do. What worries me is that when it's obvious someone needs to sell a club it attracts all sorts and unfortunately they are often not great for the club. Harrop as manager just seems plain daft to me and yet another stupid gamble. I was against N...

Did you support Roberts? I hope you are correct but it makes total sense for the new owners to be questioned as much as the current and previous regimes. Football is riddled with history of asset stripping owners ruining clubs. I hope it doesn't happen here but just because this lot can't make ends ...

To be honest I'm less worried about the manager than the thought of there not being a club in a couple of years. This looks like nothing more than a property deal and a defunct football club wouldn't need Plainmoor would it! That said, surely our board of die hard fans wouldn't sell to any old Tom D...

Good first half performance but then out-thought at half time and tactically we didn't know how to get a grip of the game again. However we kept going and Andre Wright came off the bench to give us some impetus again. A massive 3 points for sure but there's still a long way to go and if people like ...

I don't care that we are out of the trophy as we'd have lost to any half decent opposition in the semis, but let's not forget that we have just been beaten by Bognor bloody Regis in a competitive fixture and by all accounts quite deservedly so. I know we have some cup tied players but it really does...
