ANYONE IS BETTER THAN TAYLOR AT THE MOMENT. LOUIS SPENCE IS BETTER THAN TAYLOR AT THE MOMENT, AT THE VERY LEAST HE HAS ENERGY AND IS VERY FORWARD.
Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.

His record is not the best, but like I said I don't cares who's in charge as long as we stay up. A new guy with fresh ideas can watch the players train and hopefully play there in the right place haha

Still not confirmed though

I like the bloke, sounds like we could get on.

Indeed. My point was that Knill has such a bad record that even Taylor makes him look good.

Anyway, his surname is all too familiar at the club at the moment so he can p*ss off! :~D

Well, it looks like if this will be the case and we are stuck with another Central Defender expert to the end of the season. You have to suspect Shaun Taylor had a say in this appointment. :'(

Do I think he will keep us up, yes I do. The football won't be pretty, and I am quite relieved that I am nearer the back of The Bench because it will be kick and run, that is for sure......and I should see a lot of the ball at eye level. :aww:

Having said that our midfield has been shocking and if no manager has the guts to drop Mansell and Lathorpe (Mansell should never have got his place back following the Southend game) then we should do everything in our power to keep them out the game by making sure the ball sails over their heads before they have the chance to give it away 20 times a game.

I say that in some jest of course, but long balls up to (any 2 from) Howe, Benyon and Jarvis bypassing that midfield and that crap pitch could just be what we need.

All I care about now is getting the 13 points we need and I think it's a good move for the club. Roll on Saturday.

What I would say is by all means have a go at the appointment but at least give him a chance to get things going, he did wonders at Bury on no budget and after falling out with Rotherham could be putting himself in the Shop Window again, so he too has an awful lot to gain.

Torquay manager Martin Ling will resign from the club in order to take care of his health. The former Leyton Orient and Cambridge boss has been ill over the last few weeks and is keen on getting back into football once healthy. He has been told he is welcome back in a directorial role.
Stoke City assistant manager Dave Kemp is line to make a return to management after successful talks with United. Kemp has managed Plymouth Argyle in the past and is wanting another bite at the cherry. Kemp is also very good friends with Martin Ling.

Ask any Oxford fan about Dave Kemp. Seen as the worst manager in the history of the club

Well I suspect Buckle is off to the USA with his lady, but I suppose the question is when?

There is a chance , I suppose, giving that there are just a few weeks left of the season that he could join Torquay and then follow his lady of to The USA at the final whistle.....probably thinking they are posh and becks mark 2 as they go!....and of course , if he fails, then he can run away and hide

Heavens to goodness. At this rate we might as well include Fleetwood Mac. At least we can sing to their rumours.
