Player Search - Who Will Turn Up?
Thanks for that CP Gull.
It's fair to say then, that we should really be contending for promotion. Anything less would be considered an underachievement.
On paper, our squad looks very competitive, and not even bad for the league above in my opinion.

What is up with the kit? Please tell me we aren't in luminous green for the rest of the season!

What formation are we lining up with from the friendlies?
I would suggest we're looking light on the wings and a target man, but other than that, we seem to have the makings of a good squad.
Do we feel this is Owers making a reasonable budget work, or do we have a fairly big budget for the league?

St Lukes Cup vs Cullompton Rangers
Whilst the initial reaction when you hear the result is one of shock, I agree with most of the posts above. It really doesn't matter.
I actually believe that winning the game could have a more negative effect on the players. If you lose the game, business as usual, nothing's changed. If you win the game, the only time you've won this season is in a crappy cup game against Collumpton. You start to think that's your level.
The only way I could see us taking a positive from this game is if we had demolished them. Anything less than 4-0 and you'll always think you could've done more.

Very confused - what is GI's game?
I just want to try a little cost exercise. These are all total guesses at figures, so if anyone can provide more realistic prices, that would be great.
Running club for 3+ years - £2m
Purchase of Plainmoor - £500k to £1m
Purchase of new land - £500k to £1m
Materials for new stadium - £1.5m to £8m
Materials for new houses - £750k to £1.5m
Materials figures including building costs. New stadium figures based on work beginning on building, through to the top figure at completion.
Value of 50 flats at average of £150,000 - £7.5m
Total cost - £5.25m to £13.5m
Total return - £7.5m
Total profit - £2.25m to -£6m
Is it really worth it for several years work and a sizeable chunk of money invested, to get a maximum of £2.25m back? Whilst this is no small amount, there must be far more profitable ventures for them.

Have we really got to wait this long
I've read his posts before. He holidays an FM15 game to around 2040 where all the players are regenerated players and picks a random club to challenge himself.
Very unlikely that he'll be a Torquay fan, but FM can often develop a fondness for a club.
I've followed Udinese for nearly 10 years after a cracking file with them on FM07.

Management options
Frank De Boer would be a great addition. Local lad and a TUFC legend. Plenty of NL experience and loads of contacts with local L1 and 2 clubs who want to loan out a good youth prospect.
He'd definitely turn down big European clubs to come and join us.

Childs play. I've done it many times on Football Manager. Won 4-0 against Barcelona in the Champions League final recently. Best team in the world by some way and the board are building me a 110,000 seater stadium to say thanks. Exeter went bust and Argyle are in League 2 with no money.
Not very realistic though... where can you fit a 110,000 seater stadium in Torquay?!

I like to think of them as the wedding photos from a marriage that ended really badly. Solicitors, arguments, custody of children, the whole shebang.

This 'give them 10 games' thing is nonsense. When have we ever actually done that? You might as well give the manager a vote of confidence, because he's getting sacked soon.
I don't think I've ever seen a manager sacked after 10 games. If he continues doing badly, he gets sacked before 10 games, and even the slightest upturns in results sees them keep their job for longer than 10 games.
Next thing you know, it's January and you're still in the relegation battle with your manager who's about to get sacked, and you know you should've done it 4 games in.

Highlights of each game are available on YouTube.
Of course, I use 'high' ironically.

Come on Dave, do you really think he uses cutlery? Imagine Henry VIII with the ability to unhinge his jaw like a snake.Southampton Gull wrote: ↑18 Aug 2017, 00:53 What has his cutlery got to do with anything?
I highly doubt he will be named manager but that won't stop him meddling with team selection for as long as possible.

If we end up appointing Geoff Harrop as manager, we might as well down tools and go and support Argyle. I think that would be the final nail in the coffin for me.
I've not been to Plainmoor in nearly 3 years now, mainly due to visits to Devon timing in with away games, but I've seen a few of the away games close to me.
Turgid football, with tactics which look like they were created on Microsoft Paint. We've had teams which on paper should be hitting mid-table or higher, but tactically we've been poor since Martin Ling left, and he didn't have a plan B. KN is not a manager, he'd be a decent coach or perhaps some sort of ambassadorial role would suit him.
We desperately need a good, experienced manager, who can come in and sort this nonsense out. And that manager is definitely not Geoff 'Tactical Nous of a Shovel' Harrop.
