Time now to stand down or be relieved of his duties . He needs to go immediately he and the whole team are now officially the worst in the clubs history .

Total set of gutless wasters.

In the real business world this would not be accepted but this is the comedy show of Torquay United so no doubt sweet nothing will be done .

sure, that'll turn things around.

The truth is Nicholson should never have been 'in'. There's no chance of him walking, instead he will talk up the 'positives' of the result. I haven't been for a while now as it had started to feel like I was literally throwing money down a drain.

I've been encouraged to hear there might be changes ahead, however Nicholson has to be replaced completely rather than assisted before I will return.

everything needs to change, the manager, the board and the team.

Even if we did get rid I feel pretty sure he'd find a way to break in and make sure his name was first on the team sheet.

Nicholson is not to blame, it's not his fault he was chosen as the manager. He is passionate for the club. The problems with this club began when ling fell ill and the multiple bad decision's after that.

no, sadly it stems from a long way back, but he shouldnt have been appointed. the whole club is in freefall

I'm sorry Lucy but that's just rubbish. Whilst decisions taken previously have contributed to the position the club finds itself now, to absolve the current board and Nicholson from blame is ludicrous. He's not passionate - he's arrogant. Continuing to pick himself rather than managing the team should tell you that. This isn't someone who is putting the club first. He has to go, now.

Nicholson is so far out of his depth even the combined efforts of the Royal Navy, Coastguard and RNLI couldn't save him.

Its time for Phillips and Breed to admit they made a mistake and make a change. I appreciate the club is in dire financial straits but the cost of getting rid of Nicholson can't be as high as the potential cost of relegation to Conference South.

But who are you picking instead? I keep hearing that he should drop himself but he has been far from our worst player this season and no-one has suggested who on the fringes deserves a start ahead of him.

Well put Guildford. I get the fact that the Board would give Nicholson longer than deserved but they must surely act now.

Err - play Butler there? The fact that he hasn't been our worst player shows just how bad we have been. It's besides the point anyway, the bloke seems desperate to keep his dying playing career going ahead of managing which is what he was brought in to do.

So you are saying it's rubbish that the club has gone down free fall since ling went? If you are, I suggest you look at the current league we are in and the position as well, and then look back at the number of managers we have sacked and if that doesn't convince you look what mess the the current board find themselves in from the previous regime. Sorry but your wrong to say I'm talking rubbish.

You need to have another read Lucy. What I thought was rubbish was the fact that you seem to think the current board and management bear absolutely no responsibility for our current position.

I am sure Nicholson is doing his best but I think we have reached a point that we all have to accept that if he stays in post it is very very unlikely that the pattern of results is going to change. What can be done with the frugal offering we can afford I don't know but it seems to me that to have any real chance of things changing during the remainder of the season ( let alone whether that is sufficient to avoid the drop ) we ourselves have to make changes. If we examine the individual players they have collectively enough of a track record in football to indicate that we really should be producing more than we currently are.
