Torquay United Fans Forum

I realise that Torquay is in a 'Mickey Mouse' league, but I would like to see someone with more gravitas than Paul Wotton appointed. That is not meant to be disrespectful to him but he's hardly set the world alight managing Truro, who narrowly escaped relegation.

Not being a lawyer, is it definitive that the consortium is the new owner or are there further legalities that have to be completed before any deal is finalised?

I've said it before and make no apologies for repeating it, but if the infandous Edwards and Hayman are involved it's RIP Torquay United.

Why would Torquay United want to sign any players from Taunton who have proved that they are not good enough to play at this level? I hope to be proved wrong, but I remain highly suspicious about the secrecy surrounding the identity of the preferred bidder. As previously mentioned, other clubs are o...

The secrecy surrounding the potential purchaser is nonsense because there was more openness from the Soviet Politbureau than there has been from Torquay United during, and now post, the Osborne regime. I read on an almost weekly basis of named prospective purchasers of other football clubs. If they ...

I'm reluctant to bring a touch of realism to all of the triumphalism. However, it shows the dire state of Torquay United that fans are celebrating the fact that it has avoided relegation to the 7th tier of English football. While not knowing the identity of a prospective purchaser - yet more nonsens...

The curse of Marshall strikes again!!

I don't wish to be the purveyor of doom. However, in my opinion, it shows how far this club has fallen that contributors to this site are relying on the failures of part-time clubs to keep this full-time club in this league. I realise that the points' deduction has played its part, but as I have com...

If Hayman and Edwards are the preferred bidder than it's RIP Torquay United.

It's an absolute disgrace that these so-called professionals may have to rely on other results going their way to escape relegation. They have now lost 19 games in what is, predominantly, a part-time league. I know it wont happen, for practical reasons, but I would get rid of the whole squad, togeth...

That's an insult to Tesco shelf stackers, most of whom are pleasant and competent individuals.

Marshall is a complete and utter tube with the intelligence of an amoeba.

I suppose he might get employment as a scarecrow!!

I was castigated some time ago for commenting that Marshall was a complete and utter numpty who should consider another career.

Today, I rest my case.

If bids have been received why will it take up to a fortnight to decide which one to accept?

Presumably the administrators will now make the decision.

Selling the club to Hayman together with any of her associates will be the death knell for Torquay United.

My understanding is that TUST might be able to call on Neil Warnock in some capacity. Whatever one's opinion of him, it is undeniable that he has invaluable knowledge of football.

Slightly off topic, but does Torquay United still employ Peter Johnson who is to recruitment what Michael McIntyre is to comedy?
