Don't doubt he is doing his best .....but that is not even close to being adequate

Problem with the internet is you don't know when somebody is being sarcastic...?

If, however, you're for real...don't be so fecking soft!! His best is not good enough. He's out of his depth and wouldn't have even got an interview at other clubs in this division.

Wrong appointment and we're only going one way with him in charge.

The board probably can't afford it but then they shouldn't have made such a stupid bloody mistake in the first place.

Don't worry. They train really well during the week (crap attack against crap defence), on a brilliant new trg facility. They tried hard today, didn't get the rub of the green, but the improvement can be seen.........BO..OX

Does anyone else think the club have accepted relegation with the plan to be to come straight back up.

Yet another very sad weekend for Torquay United.

Looking at the league table tonight, I can see us being bottom within a couple of weeks and with no visible sign of anything changing.

How many people, with tickets, genuinely want to go on Boxing Day?

I don't blame Nicholson , it's we'll pass the time - the board stood up and grew a pair of balls
It's the worst i have seen in 40 years of watching my local team and that includes Dave Webb days
What's so bad is its getting worse

Now that plan won't work. Too make my day even worse that loud clown Gordon Sparkes is yelling out of the radio as those green bastards are top of L2. Cheating shit pay off your £17 million ....

Have the Board thought of asking Channel 4 in to film a fly on the wall documentary series about the Gulls? Storyline: crap team humiliated week after week, appoint clueless manager, loyal fans heartbroken. A follow up to the documentary about the clown running a hotel in Torquay, also with laughable lack of management skills. Could be a winner?

Jeff wrote:I might be mis-interpreting things, but this is how I see the situation:

Fabian Speiss gets the opportunity to leave and play below Conf level (as he can do under the current regulations) - he asks the club and, as Nico probably wanted shot of him anyway, allows him to go.

The club signs Corderoy as a short term measure to get us through the Xmas period, just in case Lavercombe gets sent off/picks up a knock. We are outside the loan deadline, so we could only sign someone below Conf level. Given that most players down to Southern League Level will be on some kind of contract and subject to the "7-day approach" rule, if you're not satisfied with Corderoy as an emergency measure where do you propose this emergency keeper comes from?

Reading the HE, Nico says "but I am hopeful that we will have another 'keeper and a coach on board in the near-future" - so, come Jan 1st (or sometime early in Jan), the club signs a more senior keeper who doubles up as Goal Keeping coach. The much vaunted Steve Mildenhall - warming the bench at Rovers at the age of 36 - would surely be the ideal candidate (or someone similar), and he takes up the combined salary that was being used on Kenny Veysey and Speiss.

If the scenario plays out like this, and providing Corderoy doesn't actually get any game time, then its not as bad a state of affairs as people want to make out

Any manager with any balls would not have let Spiess go there must be something they are not telling us (Perhaps he was not under contract so he could leave if another club came in) or was it something else which I won't say as I cannot believe that the board have allowed him to go.

So Robbie comes out and gives interview. Hope that's because KN is having a good speaking to by people who run this circus.

CraigUnder · Post by **CraigUnder** » 19 Dec 2015, 18:01

The fact Kev took himself off and didn't do the interview means he has started to walk back to Torquay without a job... Pleaseeeeeeeeee

I was a bank manager but to get to that managerial position I had 20 years training and experience. When I retired I would not have expected a cashier to take over. That is precisely what has happened at the Club with Hargreaves and Nicholson. Experience is vital in management but it would appear that there is a distinct shortage of that commodity from the top to the bottom of the Club. Until this is addressed the present situation can only continue its downward spiral.

Will be waiting eagerly to see a report and/or reaction from those who went to the game.

you're all completely mental but full respect from me because I wouldn't do it!

On another thread from Dave Caldwell but surely now the board have got to roll that dice or come out and say no money in the kitty to sack KN so put up or shut as he's here until the lights are turned off which at this rate won't be far away

Burnhamgull · Post by **Burnhamgull** » 19 Dec 2015, 18:37

Maybe Speiss has gone to sell houses with Jordan Seabright...(remember him?).
