Gotta feel for Downes. Worked his proverbials off in what must have been horrendous circumstances and is rewarded by the sack. I know what you mean, but it needed a change, a total fresh start and rebuild, as nice as Downes was, it's the correct decision and we've got a brilliant manager with huge ...

Absolute shocker.

That's a bit harsh... The crest was good, the kit wasn't that bad, the era was shit with us badly struggling and football (lower level) really in the doldrums, gates,grounds,standard of football at that time wasn't good but this was up and down the country..

The current club crest isn't good in my eyes, it looks just like the Motorola phone symbol, what exactly is it?, the Dave Webb era was bad, mainly because the club were skint and lower league football at that time wasn't good, but I still really liked the palm tree badge, I'm not saying I enjoyed th...

Thought the club crest from 84 to 86 was the best, with the palm trees, I didn't even mind the blue kit,

What exactly will be Neil's duties?, I understand he's a football man, had a great career in the game, but if he's in the dug out, dressing room, or training pitch I could see this not working out..For me it's not exactly forward thinking nor is it original, he's got a link to the club from many yea...

No doubt about it, you don't achieve the things Paul Wotton has done at Truro if you aren't a good manager, against the odds he's achieved good things at Truro, every game away from home for years, a promotion etc, plus this season no other team in the UK had the schedule they had (think 10 games in...

I'd have him around even if it was just to go the dressing room before the game to leave the players in no doubt what is required over the 90 minutes. You're living in cloud cuckoo land if you think that would do anything, that's the job of the manager and captain, you wouldn't want a 3rd party doi...

Loads of posts under various topics wondering whether Neil Warnock will be our new manager, owner,part of a consortium etc etc, I get that he's had a wonderful career in the industry, a real character and football man, but we need to progress and leave Neil to enjoy his retirement, I don't see the n...

Really mean this in the nicest possible way, but what's this fixation of Neil Warnock?, he was a caretaker manager for a handful of games over 30years ago now, we need a clean slate, no going back to the future, Neil deserves to put his feet up, get on a sun lounger and enjoy his retirement, not at ...

This has to be the dawn of a new era now, if nothing changes -nothing changes, Downes is a very likeable guy but he isn't the answer going forward, we need a fresh approach,I'd like to think 4 or 5 players max will stay, the rest need to go, and I'm talking about the bigger names in the squad:Halste...

I think we've got to aim a tad higher standard wise to be honest with you....Gulls 3-1 H&W..

I'm not trying to be negative or unfair, but I really don't believe Aaron Downes is the answer for our next permanent manager, nice guy and all that, but we need a clean slate now, a new era has to start.

Would also add that I'm not expecting anything remotely near promotion next season, I think we'll be a top half team, a steady campaign upper mid table finish..I still think the league is a lot stronger than other fans realise.

Think McGavin and Dawson have to go, all the other players stated to keep I agree with, and to let go as well, Craske if fully fit and with a good pre season will be an asset to the club next season.

Maybe a tad harsh,Lovett, Archer,Booth,Mox and poss Hall, all the rest I'm expecting will leave, the names stated on reflection could do s job in NLS, I like Downes, he's a likeable bloke, but he's not the answer going forward.
