I am positive. I'm looking forward to the season and think he's made some good signings and he's that little bit wiser. He's still a young manager.

I don't doubt that the powers that be are just waiting for the opportunity to get rid.

"Makes you wonder what on earth they teach at the UEFA coaching centres. Problem is that most of it is 'distant learning' - a joke really when you think of how much presence (both professional and social) a manager of a professional football team has." Has no relevance to what or how the m...

Agreed

Something or someone ?

Hallelujah; at last recognition from the footballing backwater that is Torquay that the club has had a succession of past their sell by 'managers' (ever since the loss of Martin Ling) playing antediluvian football and appointed by buffoons with not a clue as to what coaching expertise there actuall...

I suspect that with the money that the coaching staff are on and the budget being the same as last season it will be a case of trying to keep the best of what we have and trying to add to it as best they can. It will be a small squad again and a struggle to bring decent players down here on low wage...

While Blisset was at the club, Nicholson decided to make his "marquee" signing a striker who he doesn't fancy. McDonald was sold early and he had adequate time to find a replacement. He brought in McGinty. He also had the chance to resign a midfielder who made it abundantly clear he wante...

I can vouch for that. He was never with the club.

Harrop is only there for his own benefit and will turn the situation to his advantage. As for Mel Hayman, perhaps she back with the promise of bigger things to come with GI ? Tim Herbert I don't have a problem with.

The writing is on the wall, Nicholson will find his position becoming untenable with Harrop interfering and trying to push his ideas forward. One final thing, Harrop, if you want to know who I am I would see it as a common courtesy to approach the forum and ask the relevant question. I'd be more th...

Not sure about anyone else but I'm uncomfortable with the appointment.
As for Harrop and Nicho working closely together mmm we'll see but I can't see Nicho being overjoyed at the prospect.

i assume the local board that are being installed , Alex Rowe etc will know what there doing, as regards to Harrop coming in, does anyone know if he is coming for sure and do they know its for the managers job? also do we think Kevin will still be around if we lose the next couple of games because ...

I hear its not the DOF role or manager.

Not sure Nicho will be happy working with Harrop as DOF. That was something that was stipulated when he discussed a new contract. This may be GI's way of forcing him out.
