According to a message from Linkedin, we should all "Congratulate Dean Edwards on the new position"

Dean Edwards has a new position at Gallivare Malmbergets FC - (it doesn't say what it is though)!!!

Fifth tier of Swedish football. Probably about all that will take him after his antics last season.

This man is a complete arsehole, and deserves nothing but contempt for the way he dealt with this club.

Wanker. **** off and good riddance.

He's got a twitter account that hasn't been used since September but I wonder if his phone number is the same as the number posted on 7th Feb last year?.............@DeanStephenEdw1

Just saying....

Can someone fill me in on the animosity towards DE please.

I know he was part of the consortium that took control of the club, but left very swiftly. Genuine ignorance on the matter, I'm intrigued to know what he did though.

Phew! For a moment I thought this was a thread about me! :no: ;-)

Totally 100% agree anyway.

Apart from Thea, Breedy and maybe a few select others, IMO everybody involved in running this football club this last 5 or 6 years in all honesty deserve to be called wankers purely for just that reason.

Where to start?

Gave himself a high paying role in the club when the consortium took over, taking money the club didn't have, whilst giving very little of it to our manager of the time, Paul Cox. When Cox then asked about receiving a wage, after realising that DE was getting a whack of it, he basically got told to **** off, so did so, leaving us with no manager.....then DE held the directors to ransom, demanded, and received, a massive payout and promptly pissed off to somewhere hot (Hell hopefully), never to be seen again.

Of course, he'd been pissing money up the wall for ages before that anyway, under the pretence of "working" for the club in the commercial side of things - because that went so well under him too....

That's it in a nutshell (and may be slightly too basic, but hey, even writing this amount is given him far too much attention)

Him, Philips, Baker, Wild Bill and all the others (with the exception of Thaea and Steve Breed) can take a massive walk off an incredibly short pier. If/when this club goes up the shitter, those bastards will have played a massive part in it.

As for GI - well they're the biggest bunch of C U Next Tuesday's going. Wish they'd just **** off, like the others did. Won't help the club, granted, but they're not doing anything to help it anyway.

The language on this thread is atrocious...no, not the comments, the title! A vile man who almost destroyed Torquay United. Most despised man at Plainmoor.

You can rest easy Breedy - in many eyes (mine included) you are a REAL #legend who donated his time & money into trying to save the Club .. you are held in much higher esteem than most associated with the Club since the days of Mike Bateson. :-D

Do you remember when Deano (as a player) was told his services were no longer required by United? A couple of day later - or maybe even that very day - there was a headline on the back page of the Herald:

I'LL BE BACK! says Deano.

Perhaps he hated the club so much for moving him on that he waited and planned for years for his revenge.

Very true Breedy.
