I know he signed a new deal at Truro mid season so I very much doubt he'd end up at TUFC... With all the talk about having to stabilise the club financially and possibly go part-time I wouldn't think now is the time to buy out a manager's contract. Personally I think this coming season will be one ...

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? At this moment in time I believe they are the administrators preferred bidder. They are no more the new owners than the previous preferre...

Steve Perryman was a director of football at Exeter City in an unpaid capacity saying it was about him giving back to football. Maybe that is what Neil Warnock has in mind.

Feel free to quote me if I'm wrong (I usually am!)... but the team we played back in '94 in the FA Cup was ' Enfield FC '... the team facing Chatham in the play-offs is ' Enfield Town FC ' who I think were formed in the early 2000s by supporters who were fed up with the owner of 'Enfield FC' So, by...

Maidstone lost to Worthing today so will be in our league again next season and I would imagine will be favourites along with Boreham Wood to go up.

Rather face Braintree next season than Worthing.

Don't assume that everyone on here also reads BTPIR.

The preferred bidders want to include current and past directors. Discuss! That sounds like Mel and Ian Hayman then. Whether it not or it includes Edwards is anyone guess given the radio silence coming out of Plainmoor. But then again is the source for this rumour accurate? The local press have har...

I hope to God it isn't Chris Dawson. The bare minimum we need going forward is an owner who is at the very least a football fan. Dawson isn't and then you've got to ask yourself why does he want the club, we may have not heard the last about a new stadium. BTW other on Alan Merson's site he says Daw...

I haven't forgotten the last manager we took from Bath.

Call me an old cynic, and admit i don't know much about it all, but won't a Edwards Hayman take over have a shadowy figure in the background. Maybe a person still looking for a building plot??? Actually I don't think so. Torbay Council made it clear that Plainmoor is NOT for sale. Osborne has decid...

AFC Bournemouth
Southampton FC
Port Vale FC
Crawley Town FC
Wigan Athletic FC

You don't know the half of it, she played an essential role in Osborne's capture of the club and was actually sacked by the Philips consortium as a result. Her place on the board is for services rendered to Osborne.

I'm wondering if Monday is actually D-Day. The extension of NOI was for ten working days and that period incorporated Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Masters has shown his colours in the past when muddying the waters previously and the mess he left Truro in.

Utter tosh.

A terrible team aren't resulting in low crowds now though ? Can a part time team be any worse ? I would argue that crowds are holding up at the moment because it is an. emotional response to the present crisis, fans feeling need to come out and show their support. If we go part time and become also...
