Very good article in the Mail Online (not usually noted for its incisive journalism!):

As much as I detest the Mail, that was a good article. I realise that they can't put anything too detrimental about the ownership, but it was written in such a way that people will be sympathetic to the Club.

Pity they didnt get their facts straight - we are not yet in administration.

I sincerely hope both the Johnson brothers are no longer being paid by us. Gary's last paid day should have been the day he mutually agreed to sod off. It's worrying how his brother has not been mentioned at all.

If both are still leeching us for continued money, from a club that has none, then they are both loathsome ignorant arrogant individuals and any lingering respect for the man has gone. He'd see us die as a club so long as he gets money.

Again, it sounds as though Osbourne was obligated to pay the salaries last month, so I hope all monies raised since are going solely to us and none to him or the Johnson morons.

Although the lack of clarity in the many welcome but ambiguous comments from the club indicate money may well still be bleeding to them.

Loathsome the lot of em.

There is no way Pete J is not still being paid. He clung on at Cheltenham for 2 months after his brother was sacked, despite having been doing a shite job for them too.

If Aaron’s watching the opposition- maybe no need for any scouting at all. We won’t sign anyone in administration and I would think the admin would get rid of Pete Johnson in that case.

The man has no shame.

I hope none of them get employment in football again

It was confirmed yesterday that Peter Johnson IS still employed by TUFC and getting paid.

The sooner he is gone the better.

We aren't in administration.

Get rid of Peter Johnson ASAP. He was chuffing useless and is to scouting what Donald Trump is to self effacement!!!

Am I missing something here CO has not gone he’s just stopped funding! He still owns the club??? Has he said the club is for sale?

Also see the Update For Supporters dated 28 February 2024. Here is the part stating the club is up for sale:

"Following last week's announcement of the Club's intention to enter administration, Torquay United was officially put up for sale on Friday 23rd February."

So we change the heading from Osbornes gone to hopefully osbourns gone , everybody is too far ahead! Also when you buy a car it has for sale on with a price,I haven’t seen anywhere in big letters the we are for sale!! New buyers I think would like this confirmed !! Things need to move on so we can move on!
