Listening to these comments several threads are spreading from the initial comment, Edwards said there was no problem with the budget, my take on that is that Johnson got who he asked for, our budget is as good as most in this league and if he cannot make them into footballers then thats on him not the board, Yes, we have trouble relocating players to the south west, a perennial issue and no one has come up with a solution in modern times, however we have plymouth, exeter, two bristols even cheltenham and swindon at a push where we can get loans in without them having to relocate, just pay them a generous mileage allowance.
In any event what is wrong with sourcing a part timer who wishes to keep their normal job for the day when football is no longer an option, surely the only question should be can they do a job for us,certainly back when I was younger the majority of theTorquay team had part time jobs. does it matter if they rock up at plainmoor with a plumbers van to park amongst the exalted mercedes and audis are so called pro's manage to drive,
From what I have seen home and away this season against the so called part timers there has been no obvious differnence in fitness levels, but they have all shown more effort, endeavour and will to get their win bonus.

I have very little faith in Johnson turning this disaster around and, sadly, even less faith that the club will act to change it.

Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he (Magic Johnson) arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. (MATTHEW 8:26)

Well Dolan looks a player. He had more shots in the match than the whole of our teams had in the last 4 or 5 matches. Nice to see.. Not difficult is it. Create a bit of space and have a shot.

Watched that confrontation a few times and Can’t get out of my head Osbournes reaction when asked if a new ground was on the agenda, his response was an instant and unequivocal “YES”
When asked where his reaction was a hesitant delayed and “we don’t know”
Frightening people in charge of our club

SWgull what I said was in 3/4 weeks we might be back to full strength plus 2 additions. It cannot happen in 7 days.

Dave ,lets look at it from his point of view, you had an unequivocal yes there will be a new ground,we believe it or believe it not. What we do know and it is probaby universally accepted football at plainmoor will never raise the revenue even to cover the bills let alone get us back into the league. Location of such new stadium, why would he tell us, they may be looking at several venues, everybody finds out the first thing that would happen is the land owner puts their price up ,second the TUST has a few quiet words with their mates on the council to put a spanner in the works because it does fit with their speciifc vision for the club. I am not defending him in any shape or form , I am not saying what he mentioned yesterday is truthful but to my mind Edwards did not have to talk to us yesterday, he did for a short time and may have said more until the idiots started abusing him.

That wasn't Osborne it was CEO George Edwards who runs the club.

Get real the TRUST are an unnecessary distraction, without Clark Osborne there would be no club

You carry on burying your head in the sand

The real question now though is, with Clark Osborne, will there still be a club?

[GULL 67]

Bring back the cowshed??? Sounds a bit suspect to me!
