Torquay United Fans Forum

Lingy is talking alot of sense although I feel he won,t get the job because as has been said already why pay him off and then reemploy him. Chris Hargreaves would be a good appointment if we were mid table but I feel it does need an experienced head to get us out of this hole we are in.Knill was never the right appointment so you have to question the boards ability to pick and employ the right man for the job. Whilst Paul Sturrock did leave Plymouth in a fix when they were in the championship he does have the knowledge and know how on how to get out of this division on a shoe string budget but would he come at a cost with his wages alone.
Anything is possible in football and boards decisions do seem to be baffling at times and I don't think this situation will be anything new. Whoever throws their hat in the ring is in with a shout.

The problem is the board have not long settled Martin Lings contract up so they probably can't afford to settle another one in short succession.

I'm new to this forum but have been a Torquay fan for many years even though I live in Plymouth. I said at the time of Knills appointment we would struggle this year but didn't think it would be this bad. There are number of managers out there that are out of work and have good track records at this level. If nothing is done soon then it will be too late and we will be seeing our way back to the Conference. It's time for the board to act and bring in a manager with the knowledge ,no how and contacts to get us out of this predicament.
