Even after the last 2 poor gates we are still averaging above the 1800 break-even figure so unless some of the departing directors have removed their "investment" or there are some new and unexpected expenses I don't see how this could be the case.
The directors may well want their money back eventually but I can't see them demanding it back immediately and dooming the club - they are all supporters after all.
And if the former employees cases end up in court I wouldn't have thought it would be as soon as October, we all know how slowly the legal system works.
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....
