Bazza, I guess it all depends on what your fans (and Manager) judge Sercs against. Personally, I always felt that an attacking midfielder with a goal ratio of less than 1 in every 10 games was a very poor return. Equally I didn't feel his range of passing was as good as it should be for a player...

He is rumoured to be on over two grand a week as he was offered Championship level money to tempt him from Colchester. Not really in our wage structure methinks!

This is what I find so deeply concerning. The Club employ someone with no football knowledge as a CEO and the need to consult is therefore even more critical. Why nobody on either board hasn't clocked the significance of the paucity of consultation is stark. The hole dug for all is now too big...

Value for money supposedly (Season Tickets that is).

Not sure what to say about that given it says nothing at all except replacing one set of unachieved strategic priorities with a new set which will probably fall the same way and be replaced with another set of statements minus the actions. I would like to see our Trust Chair publish a full and...

Good news then all round although the length of lease still needs to be ironed out!

Lez, not intending to sound negative but the rubber crumb pitch won't happen in our lifetime - well not at the C&F. Why for two reasons that are unlikely to change. Firstly, to gain the grant funding necessary any funder will need evidence of a secure lease of at least 25 years in duration - the...

I have seen this lad play on a number of occasions and always thought he has something about him. Looking at the bigger picture this is an excellent signing as I assume Tiz will seek to partner Richards with Nicholls next season. I would rather have had had Gow remain but I'm happy to see...

Gow for me has been the most technically gifted player I have seen play for us for the past 30 years or so. His performance up at Rovers was excellent and I would have thought Ward was very keen on signing Gow. Ideally I would like to have kept him but if this frees up the opportunity for Jimmy...

Malcolm, you make the point well and therefore contradict your original point admirably. Your post was suggesting that the OG's we have had were down to luck. An OG scored from a miscue twenty yards from goal would be just that (luck). Most OG's are scored from within the 6 yard box as a result...

Malcolm, how would any team "rely" on OG's? The OG's have all been conceded from near the goal line therefore would otherwise have been put home by a city player. That indicates to me that the team are doing all they can to "help themselves" are they not?

Of course I'm making an educated guess NG I said as much in my post. None of us are naïve enough to think that we are hitting our gate figures therefore why shouldn't we be on course to make losses?

Pete, you are correct but that loss was made whilst gate income was about where it was expected to be. Given we will be around £100,000 down on gate income alone I think the losses will be significantly higher than anything previously. This cannot be sustained by a Trust run club who don't have...

MESSAGE FOR TRUSTEES We elect our trustees not to run our football club but to oversee it by appropriate governance and safeguard its future. Without wishing to be melodramatic recent results and reducing attendances ought to set alarm bells for urgent action. Trustees cannot stand on the...

That's the first time I have voted negatively against Tisdale. However, there is no point changing any other personnel whilst Tisdale assumes a smug arrogance and disdain over results. It's all well and good bringing on the kids but it can't be used as a smokescreen by Tisdale when always...

I think Shaun Taylor has as much chance as Nelson Mandela of being named the next manager of Torquay.

Not a candidate. The job is a three horse race between Shaun North, Paul Buckle or Chris Hargreaves. Hargreaves will be offered it but will take Northampton if offered (ex player). If he does then North will get it as I can't see them going back to Bucks.

Torquay act but is it too late? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25576152

The reason I am asking for the thread to now be locked is twofold. Firstly, no other player has a thread dedicated to personally question their performance. There have been many threads about e.g. Coles and Sercombe but they run their course and disappear until debate re-ignites the need...

Exactly "what" would be in one place? Ego or vitriol?
