Re: Thank You Board
Thank you board for a tumultuous and a very forgettable season.
You reaped what you had sown last Summer.
It was a fiasco. You are very lucky that we survived the drop.

Re: Ling Sacked
I have read some tosh on this site, but never as much as has been posted on the ML/AK saga.
It is obvious that some people have the attention span of a flee, and the memory of a goldfish.
Knill is now being painted as some sort of Messiah. He has overseen a couple of streaky wins ffs. Important ones granted, but he has not transformed the side. If we had been relegated we would have deserved it for a lack of ambition and a lack of funding.

That is precisely what our ambition was this season.Fonda wrote:
If we honestly entered the season with that mindset, it's no wonder we nearly went down. And there are issues to be addressed. You have to at least aim high surely? Obviously you have to be realistic, but if you aim for 22nd, you don't have to miss by much to end up very disappointed.
It was carried out with unerring precision.
It is exactly why the fare has been poor.
The direction comes from the Directors.
Martin Ling was tasked to carry out the plan. He was the messenger.
Do not shoot the messenger.

Re: Martin ling
Austrian say you were good at running marathons. All is well. Now someone comes along and shoots you in the foot. There is a marathon the next day. You do your best, but your time is not up to the usual standards. You wonder why, but decide the problem is not the bullet wound but your motivation.
That is what the board did to ML by selling out his three best players. In doing so they laid the foundations for this season. Their brief to ML was to survive. That has now been achieved.
It was not pretty. It was never going to be.

Re: Martin ling
Troj me old horse.
People sign up to contracts of employment. Some are fairer than others. Your own perspective is obviously informed by bitter experience. That doesn’t make it right.
There is great inequality between the best and the worst contracts. I didn’t say life was fair did I?
I take your point about caring society. It was, I have to confess, a bit tongue in cheek.

Re: Martin ling
I thought I might add something to this thread. In search of inspiration I stuck my head up my own arrishole, which seems to be the approach employed by many contributors.
TUFC is a business. It is governed by the rules of land. As a caring society we do not allow employers to summarily sack people for being sick. One day when you are sick you will be grateful for this.
The respective performances of the manager and the interim manager (which both fall in the disappointing category) are not relevant.

Re: Martin ling
(SG)It is the board that made ML’s job so difficult.
AK has overseen a couple of streaky wins and is now hailed as some sort of Messiah. Get real people.

Re: Congrats to Eunan
Congratulations as well to Bobby and Mark Ellis for successful seasons at a higher level.
Those three sales are very much behind the story of our Summer spinal surgery, and consequent struggles this season.
Let us hope that the board have learned the lessons well.
Those that saw them as the antithesis of Mike Bitesize will surely take note.
Every time we skirt with relegation (now too numerous to mention) the owners will say never again....until it happens the next time.
Whatever the infrastructure requirements, the squad needs a minimum investment to maintain standards and to keep the punters coming through the turnstiles.

I wouldn't mind, but it doesn't seem to be based on anything. A load of speculation with no evidence at all. People making assumptions and then moan when those assumptions seem to result in negative outcomes.
Maybe Thea is an MBA. Maybe she is on the Board of a dozen Fortune 500 companies, but she chooses to remain anonymous. Maybe Simon Baker has 3 weeks to live, so has been replaced so he may enjoy the last few days of his life in peace. Maybe she's taking over running the show in exchange for as non-repayable, interest free loan of £1,000,000 which we will use to buy our way out of the division next year. None of us knows and making up your own story and then bashing the club with it is just about the stupidest thing I have ever encountered.
If the Board want us to know, then we will be told. If the Board doesn't want us to know, then we won't. TUFC PLC is a business. You wouldn't expect Sainsbury's to justify their senior management decisions to its customers as they come through the door, so why is Torquay United any different?

He is a TUFC fan. That won’t be possible...!
