NickJ Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 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.

NickJ Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 If true, and it may well be - I don't know the back story - , then why would he keep changing managers, thus incurring some form of compensation, and not just let the rot continue to set in. Makes zero sense. Surely if he wants the club to go to the dogs, then keeping someone in place who is helping to take them there due to poor performance would help him achieve this quicker, wouldn't it? I don't think the owner has ever been to see Torquay play, or if he has hardly at all, doesn't that strike as being somewhat odd. There is a budget, what that budget is spent on doesn't make a great deal of difference if you aren't interested in the football outcome. All on the manager and none on the players? All on compensation and nothing else? Who cares. The budget goes and meanwhile Torquay will continue to slide down the leagues until the real end game is played out.
