Chris Todd Q and A

Post by Louis »

Hi guys

I've managed to arrange to meet with Chris Todd on Friday and put your questions to him. If there is anything you want me to ask (respectful) please post it up and I will put your questions to the man himself.

When did he finish laughing after Harrop told him what the "Head Coach" salary was?

Ask him how much a pint of milk costs. That always catches them out! ;-)

Would you be in a position to loan us some players for next season to enable us to have a fight for promotion in the national south. I'm sure your fringe players will be have valuable experience in helping us with a challenge having secured promotion to the national league.

Why are you still hanging around trying to get the Torquay job?

I have become aware that you wrote and self published a book about your struggles with your illness and donated monies to charity. How difficult was this to achieve, both in terms of writing openly about such a difficult period in your personal life and also managing to get the book printed and out there and did it sell as well as you expected / hoped?

I ask as i too am writing a book about my 'unusual' life of football and personal difficulties combined and am struggling to see it through at the moment. Any advice Chris?

Must have got my wires crossed then Brucie. I just thought it was a general Q&A and non specific. :S

Scrap my questions then if this is the case Louis.

Ask him what the transfer fee will be for Ben Gerring. Will need a Big U'n in League South. The playing pitches are so bad you can only play hoof-ball.

Surely it IS a general Q & A and i thought Andy's question was quite an interesting one. In any case, I don't get the point of asking him why he still wants the job at Torquay when he obviously hasn't got it.

I think Brucie's post was a reply to Louis - and also on jest.

Christ people. Is anyone going to ask a proper question?

My question would be 'What are your thoughts on the team's current position (honest answer), United had a poor start in their second Conference season under Paul Buckle, while you were at the club, but he turned around, how did he manage this and do you think this is relevant to the current situation where we clearly have a number of under-performing players?'
