The board should never have put them on gardening leave if money was so tight. We couldn't have done any worse with Hargreaves at the helm and now have a manager who is less qualified and even more out of his depth. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but if there's no money in the pot then the first decision you make after taking over the club isn't to get rid of a manager and his assistant who both still have a year left on their contracts.

I'm not saying Hargreaves would have been my choice to lead the club this season, but if it meant we would be more financially stable and had more money to improve the playing squad then that's what should have happened.

Fully agree with that. Hargeaves was coaching over in bournemouth and had times at other big clubs. Wed have been ok with him and he had a point to prove after unsuccessful start and hed of had little to no excuses. But i like nico and hope he can string a good run together soon to lift our spirits

Goalkeepers can make such a difference. Especially good reliable goalkeepers.

Fair play to you. At least someone is trying. Wha t boggles my mind is that there doesnt seem to be any of this action from the board /management. Is there such a thing as a loan list thesedays or is that just a myth / championship manager style make beleive thing??

Surely players all over the field are available for free short loans in some instances without us having to pay any wages at all?!?

moneylife

30k and then 30k a month indefinetly until the end

moneylife

Yes we seem to be getting palmed off with total rejects for some reason. Wish i knew why we r so bad since last couple of years

moneylife

yeah i dont think he should be playing tbh, but other than that he a top bloke

moneylife

I'm guessing but I rekon 10k wouldnt touch the sides
50k might buy you in, but then that would soon turn into needing to put more money in

moneylife

a big step up for him then based solely on recent performances on the field

moneylife

I think it's fantastic news and I'm well happy for the local lad! I hope we get some decent coin too. Echos a shame that for me that we dont have a youth system anymore though

I must say I like Nicos comments to the media and against what everyone else seems to think I reckon he's a good option for us and I really like the bloke too. And again he stayed local so good on lad. Hopefully he can whip this rabble into shape, only time will tell, and not much time left...

so what 'established revenue streams' are there and WHY ARENT torquay already in possession of these since we are historically are fairly big club (inverted commas lol) . I hate life that millionnaires all over will buy smaller clubs yet TUFC gets left behind. Its sad that seems to me Im just hoping for someone megamoney to come along. Football is ruined for me, if the money has to come from external industry revenue (eg. oil tycoon, or dubai sheiikh or something !) then whats the point

moneylife

Go into Torquay Community college and pick their best 5. they will probably be much better players than this bunch of twts

So Braintree on Saturday... But what I wonder is, they've spent most of their existence in League South or lower, they never get near 1000 attendance, they dont get any parachute payouts. Yet their Eleven men matchday side arent letting in 4 goals a game!!!!
No excuses TUFC just get the fuk out there on Saturday and get some points on the board!!! And keep a clean sheet for once. No excuses about money or nothing. If Braintree can make signings so can we.
Oh wait, maybe the Braintree coaches actually have some connections and have made some calls to secure some loans and low contract players.

Anyway, I'm feelin te negativity a lot now and finding it hard to control it. I HATE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO TORQUAY!! BRING BACK MIKE BATESON LOL

moneylife

So is this thread about a signing we might make or are we just literally scouting through the leagues looking for suitable players and wishing they could sign? This Casper bloke looks to have an amazing CV and would make a big difference to the squad but why the heck would he want to come down here??

moneylife

but why isnt there any money? Its been like this for long enough now. I thought relegated clubs got all sorts of parachute payments and extra funding. So how come all these teams with 300 attendances and no parachute payments can stomp us 3-0 4-0 every week!!
