If you were the manager...

If I were a manager, I would create an environment where a striker could score.
Simples. (£)

[SuperNickyWroe]

in response to the OP, I would have expected to have been fired by now.

[gurneygibbs23]

surprised no1 wanted to keep yeoman... hardly had a chance in team and scored when he has.
Cheap option who could end up being a gem.

[KentGull]

If I was the manager....

I'd resign.

...and take with me the likes of Hawley, Bodin (both should never be allowed near a professional club ever again). What a bloody waste of money. My gran can play better than both and she's been dead for 30 years.

Where do people get this idea that Pearce, Bodin, Chappell and others are all going to be sold to other Football League clubs?
They are playing for Torquay United, who this season are the worst team of all the 92. With the obvious exception of those who are playing well and are sold for large (ish) sums of cash when a player comes to the end of his time at Torquay it is more often than not the end of his career as a professional footballer.
Other teams look at a CV see they have failed at Torquay and say no thank you. Just ask Danny Stevens...

As for the OPs question. It is going to be tough for Hargreaves this summer. There are no glaringly obvious candidates for the chop, no players I look at and think 'well your not good enough to get us out of the Conference.' As it is I think I would be looking to move on all of the high earners and if that list doesn't include Nicho then him too. Once we clear out those players and the loanees we will hopefully be left with a small squad of hungry players with a point to prove. With a couple or three more youngsters snapping at their heels we will have a squad to have a go at the conference with next season. In all honesty, I don't think promotion at all cost should or will happen next year. If we can blood some youngsters and get to the end of the season with a £0 profit/loss having played some entertaining football with a couple of memorable cup games to look back on then everyone (or at least me) will be happy. No?

I think 12 players contracts are finishing in June Pearce Hawley Harding Tonge Downes Cameron and Chapell have another year so Torquay can keep them if they can afford their wages Poke Rice Lathrope Bodin Mansell Craig and Nicholson are among the ones who's contracts are up and can go free.
There is a lot of work to do by the manager if we are relegated.

[PhilGull]

Poke, Rice, Cruise, Lathrope, Craig Thompson, Labadie, Yeoman, Bodin would all get offered 12 month deals (that the club will be able to afford).
Nicho and Manse can be let go.
Hawley to be transfer listed.
I think that leaves me with a squad of 19 hungry players. Assuming some decide not to accept new deals then it will be a few less. I'm hoping there are one or two stepping up from the youth teams this summer at least as good as those from the last few years?
