I hope the board and fans have learnt now from past managers that its going to be someone who will be based in Devon, cant have managers leaving to go back up north as we have found out the hard way what happens... ling... cox.
Someone who will thrive on a challenge like this and be happy to relocate with his family to the south west because it wont be easy.
No doubt the likes of Tully/Nicholson ect ect will all be mentioned but please dear god NO... we need experience and someone ready for the challenge.

Next Manager- confirmed: Kevin Nicholson
Next topic of conversation is who on earth will be next in charge??
Can they afford a manager, will it be a player manager, who would want the job?!

How do you even get on the board or approach with investment?
There is no details even if someone did want to help

Cox Resigns
for a board to come out publically expressing what needs to be done on the FANS side and have absolutely no response or announcement from them (regardless if they will do it later today) is an utter disgrace.
What they have done is now turn more people away!! I have to agree with a lot of the posts on here about lasting out the season, I would strongly recommend the current board to put the club back up for sale as first priority and pray someone takes over who can sort this mess. Of course they went into this with good intentions however a coach manager with respect is not a football club director, maybe it should have been a case to hold out for better investment or accept that we needed to go part time, for those who say get hargreaves back need a reality check and ask themselves some seriosu questions, however i see us ending up with the like of Tully as next in charge, god help us

SOS call to all Torquay supporters..
With respect to the board asking for the fans to show their support its quite frankly poor and desperate especially after this article coming out:
This is clearly from the way they axed the previous management and thought they would leave without any action being taken, I mean what were they thinking was going to happen?! The actions of the new board have put us in this position and I'm not surprised the attendances have dropped. Being in London I try to get to as many away games as possible to show my support but find it hard to pay all the money to watch the quality of game I could watch on hackney marshes!! I only see this going from bad to worse and its issues like this which is why we are in this position today.
Lets hope more investment can save us before its too late and we end up like a Weymouth.
Torquay United could go out of business if some of the club's former employees win court cases against the club, director of football Dean Edwards says.
The Gulls were taken over by a consortium of local business people in the summer, but laid off a number of staff as they tried to cut costs.
"We have a couple of people now who are trying to take us to court," Edwards told BBC Sport.
"It's a problem for us. Ultimately it could finish the football club."
One person has already won a case for unfair dismissal against the National League club, who could face a bill of up to £250,000 if all the cases went against the Gulls.
"I understand their situation," Edwards added. "They felt they've probably been wronged and they have every right to do it, and if I was honest I'd probably do it myself, but this is where we are.
