Owers had more than enough time to keep us up. He failed. He is at fault.

Agree.
We needed a Mark Yates or a Martin Allen. It was obvious to everyone.
We thought we were going to get someone of that calibre too when CO took an age over the appointment.
We got Gary Owers.
The rest is history. Like TUFC.
Parasite owner.
Parasite manager.
Parasite assistant.
Parasite general manager.
Parasite footballers.
Parasite councillors.
The whole thing is bent!

My overall feeling when osborne said about challenging for promotion next season was ...it would have been easier to make the right appointments this season and minimum stay in this league rather than try and do the right decisions next season and get promoted. Considering they are sticking with the failed decisions I can't see how that will work for next season

Everyone is saying Owers to be sacked, the reality is who will come in? We’re goijg into another league? We won’t get anyone much better. Wake up to reality, it’s what it is really!
Same with the owner, we want him to sell up, He’s only here as he was the last option and the other owners couldn’t find a buyer.

Well, if past records are anything to go by, then sack Owers and Kuhl four games into our NLS adventure and then... wait.... wait..... (lose a few games).... wait a bit longer.... then announce that we have got someone 'right for the job with plenty of experience and plenty of contacts'.... then announce that we have signed ***drum roll*** Chew Magna FC's manager....

It’s just getting boring now, people gotta stop and realise we’re not going to get anyone better than Owers anymore. As much as we all want it. Even I do but I’ve woke up to reality

Why not?
Us and Hereford will be by far the biggest sides in the division next season. If we are run correctly we should be able to take our pick of NLS managers, plenty of whom have a better record than Owers.

Just out of interest how many National South managers are full-time? My guess is many are part-time with a day job. If so would they actually move to Torquay if given the opportunity?

If we were a well run club? Plenty of them, as it would be a huge opportunity. Unfortunately we haven't been a well run club for donkeys years.

Coinciding with the article on BBC newspage, did anyone else hear the piece about the club on Radio Devon this morning. Gordon Sparkes actually seemed very smypathetic to our plight to be fair. Finally Clarke Osbourne granted the BBC a proper interview, there were interesting highlights played, I'm sure it said the full interview will be added to the BBC iplayer at two tomorrow.
There was also a good interview with Chris Fleet.
