You can wish all of that on us, the reality is we have stable fan ownership and you had a lottery gambler who pulled the plug. You seem to have not mentioned that one in your post..........Torquay are where they are because the club listened to fans and went with a populist appointment of Alan Knill. That was the start of our decline followed by Hargreaves and Nicholson. In 2012 we had the best side and probably finances of any of the Devon clubs. Poor managerial appointments and fans thinking being 8 points from the play offs in League 2 at the time of Ling’s illness demonstrated what can go wrong. We lost our league status because of poor managerial appointments. With that came the loss of funding - some £500,000 + a year hence cost-cutting measures like shutting down the youth system and starting a viscous circular that sees us at our lowest level for a century and in the hands of a Property developer. What I would give for TUFC to be in the position of ECFC with Tisdale as manager.
Just who do Exeter fans think they are going to get? Some merry-go-round manager? A Ronnie Moore or Graham Westley who’ll squander it all in a day?
I’d be very worried if I was an Exeter fan.
