This is the same Osborne who hadn't been anywhere near a Torquay match when they were supposed to be buying the club earlier in the year.
Do you really think the likes of Masters/Osborne will be good for the club?
They just want the ground for their own ends, that's the top and bottom of it. The one thing that Masters/Osborne and Phillips have in common are that they are blatant downright LIARS - the lot of them.
It already seems that people want "to give them the benefit of the doubt" - its amazing how easily people can be duped and hoodwinked, they will lap up any bullshit however it is fed to them.
TUFC never fails to let its fanbase down.
27/08/18 - Time to step back from this shambles and focus on things in life that make me happy. TUFC doesn't.

Its not strange at all. if they were interested in investing they would want to put money into the club when they are in charge.
But one thing they would not do is press a button and put money in immediately just because someone already in charge tells them to. they would need guarantees that that individual would not misuse the money. that the money was needed and that it was safe . many times people have invested in some venture and then found themselves unprotected.
Think back not so long ago to a certain pensioner who supported our club with his savings and then found he had lost the lot because of a certain idiot called Chris Roberts.
Or maybe i should put it another way. your one of the new investors and the club your buying has said things are desperate and they need you to put money in immediate. Are you going to open up your laptop and say hey guys give us a total and I will send it immediately. nothing written. no lawyers involved. no gaurantees that you will see the money again, which by the way smacks of the way the present board have behaved if the posts are to be believed. They put money in, accepted loans from GI then have been effectively blackmailed into signing the club over. even I am wise enough to not do that. But if you feel thats ok by all means go ahead and do it.

Good posting but also agree with the one after about giving them a chance to make a statement.
Yes people can be hoodwinked VERY easily. Everyday we here it on the news, and boy do some seem ridiculous, but yes people fall for it time and time again.
Put it this way, I DONT TRUST THEM! Thats my prerogative. And I WILL withhold my support, thats my prerogative as well. If Im proved wrong great, hope that's the case.
Nicho saying on BBC website that he doesn't know what the future holds. For someone who has signed a 3 year contract you would have hoped he would have been kept in the loop.
If he doesn't like what he hears from the new board, I fully expect him to go and who could blame him. He wants what is best for the club.
If the majority are against the GI deal (given everything I have read then rightly so!!) then given that the takeover deal requires approval from both the Football Association and the National League would it be appropriate to suggest that it would be a REALLY good idea for the TUST to submit a clear statement to both the FA and the NL specifically addressing the suitability (or lack there of) of the take over bid?
Naturally this would need to happen fast TODAY!
Who would need to take this on? From everything I have read this deal needs to be stopped and I'm sure its possible!
Is it any surprise that GI haven’t bothered to show up for todays press conference at Torquay United FC?. When are YOU as the local ‘rag’ gonna represent the people of the area and put it out there and express their disgust at this takeover???? You must as reporters be aware of the disgust from fans, yet have failed time and time again to express the thousands of fans opinions.
When are you going top let the people of Torbay know about the Chinese investors willing to save the club and keep the football team alive? Is the herald and its sport journalists involved in the back hand, brown envelope dealings, so obviously happening at Plainmoor???
It is fundamentally wrong to only report one side of the story and the herald has only ever reproduced comments from the board members. YOU are as much responsible as Philips of watching the club be sold down the pan. Get out of your office and do some real journalism and help save our club!!! Aa
Allow the children of Torbay continue to have the dream of playing for their home town team.
YOU are contributing to the downfall!!!!!
have just sent this to the BBC, evening herald, TUFC and mayors office of Torquay. I for one am willing to put it out there, I guess the more people try and get it out there the better, I'm lucky, I'm home on leave today, not everybodys got time to send countless emails but just sending 1 might help!
wave got to try to save our club, stop GI's takeover and get it out in the community how the club needs saving from these crooks

I don't know anything about the veracity of this rumour but I know from experience how hard it can be to have fund transferred across the world. It's not as easy as you make, especially given it's likely to be more than a few quid.
Plus - companies very rarely have a lot of liquid cash lying around (unless you're Apple) - it's not good business to have money sitting somewhere doing nothing
