Can only be positive, certainly on the playing side

This shows the clubs intent, they must have brought out the wallet. Today’s a good day

Well nobody can complain at this appointment. I'm really surprised and pleased that a manager of his stature has stepped down to help us.

Does this put a different spin on the future of the club? In the article he mentions ambition, funding and leading us back to Div2. I can't believe he would have come to us if he hadn't had guarantees locked in.

Great appointment!

Pity its a year late with someone of Gary's calibre!

Looks like Osborne has decided that he does want TUFC to progress...... but of course with his "five year plan" we know why.....
We will need to keep focused and ensure that we keep Kevin Foster onside!

From what GJ has said he’s met Clarke osbourne already so at least somebody’s seen him this season! Fair play to him though, a great appointment and hopefully he can get a few new players in and get the team going.

Personally cannot stand the big headed little twerp but who cares if he can get the team winning.

I do think that we need a southern based manager with contacts in this part of the country though.

Terrific work to get him. I did say it would be good but didn't think he would.

Mr Johnson is a great appointment in my book just because it drew this response
