I agree , many on here would have preferred him to LJ when we were on our losing streak. It's a complicated business football and I wonder if their next manager will succeed where GO failed.

I thought you wanted them to offer Gary Owers his job back ! I think they will need a younger person who can give it the energy needed to kick them on . At this level the boss does everything from picking the team to mowing the grass , GJ doesn't need that hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they can find someone cheaper than Owers to do a similar job I suppose? I doubt Gary was earning a fortune so someone cheaper may be hard to find. I said the other day on another thread that they seem to be sleepwalking into oblivion - which I expect the new owners would be more than happy with. I fear for their future TBH.

Denbury Red Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I live 8 miles away from Torquay and work with an avid Season Ticket holder who has gone for many many years. Sadly Gary Owers has never got the team going - and they have lacked any attacking flair They actually have a better squad this season than they have had for the last few years - they also have two of our U23 players on loan - Jake (wonder left foot) Andrews and Opi Edwards. If Mr Johnson senior wanted a challenge I could see him getting them promoted- not sure the club could afford him! Up the Gulls!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bath City fans used to say the same about Owners, was too defensive and the team did not have any attacking flair. Been to watch Bath a couple of times this season and they appear to be playing a decent brand of football now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 1 minute ago, JonDolman said: How many are a club allowed to loan from us? I imagine if GJ goes there then they will be loaning even more of our players than he did for Cheltenham, considering what a poor team Torquay look. I think its 3 but we've so many loaned out I can't see any more going. Plus, remember Torquay are in the 6th tier now, ideally we'd want our players playing at a higher level than that.

Yes, Clark Osborne is the owner- serial ground rip off merchant, lots of plans/talk about a new ground but the objective is to aquire a piece of development land (the ground) on the cheap. Wasn't he involved with the Stadium Co. that (effectively) forced the Gas out of Eastville so they could sell the site to Ikea......name rings a bell.

Exactly. Club in a total mess no one could have done more with less than nothing. However there comes a point when a new fall guy/wizard needs to come in. I would have the guy here in some capacity in a heartbeat. Mark my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you can say that, the fans definitely wanted him out, they certainly blame him. Also, the club have sacked him, so they certainly blame him. Plenty of blame attached to him. Yes it's difficult circumstances, but he's still done a poor job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
