Torquay United Fans Forum

I have no interest in the ground...have just stated facts as I know them regarding Paul Cox the person, and his habit of walking out on clubs. That's it.

Yes same Adam Murray. He appointed Murray as his assistant and Ramshaw was coach. But When Murray seemed to be coming up with the good ideas, Cox fell out with him as it looked like Murray knew what he was doing more than Cox did. So Cox farmed him out and promoted Ramshaw to Assistant.
Murray of course is now doing a decent job as Manager at Stags.

Cox did the same thing at Mansfield..fell out with Murray, who is now the manager at Field Mill, sent Murray to play for an lower non-league side, then threw his toys out of the pram when Chairman Radford got Murray back in...

Cox has always been about the money in all his previous clubs! Look at his record. At Eastwood Town he did well with a club that suddenly found a suger daddy, ie a friend of Cox's who put all the money in, but left when Cox did...Eastwood Town went under less than two seasons later....at Mansfield Town he was given money to get out of the Conference and spent big doing so.....with a lot of the old Eastwood players, but ultimately failed at Mansfield when he tried to use those same players in the Football League.
Cox probably came across as a hard working manager, but he would never ever have stayed at Torquay whilst under the pressures he was. Also, it is well know he was desperate to get back into the game after leaving Mansfield, and in fact had applied and was turned down for such jobs as Ilkeston FC and other Non-league clubs. Fact is he did not commit to any sort of contract which suggests, he would have moved on, maybe closer to home, at the first sign of any trouble!.....or at the first sign of another job.


Ramshaw with respect is not a Football League standard coach or anything near! His Wikipedia profile was written by himself and contains many errr untruths as to his experience.

With respect to TUFC you will be better off without them....
