I couldn't disagree more, with respect (I don't know you) this is just the sort of thing a club executive trolling this forum would say. (oh I know your on here somewhere Mr Breed)

My 26 years as paying season ticket holder means in this free society, I feel it's my right to comment when I feel my (our) club is being run into the ground by people who have no footballing experience. I'm not a happy clapper and never will be, I respect and appreciate them for saving it, but not for how they are running it now.

Harry Hickford Has joined on loan from MK Dons.

New loan signing from Championship club hopefully in for tonight's match.

Non contracts, and verbal agreements, are not worth the paper they're not written on. This does not negate their usefulness, if it suits both parties at the time, knowing that either party can terminate the agreement at any time.

If this was the arrangement between any particular individual and the club, so what? Even written contracts usually have clauses which cover possible terminations.

Such agreements between an individual and an employer are not the business of the general public. Too many people rush into premature judgements. Unless fans and supporters have a financial stake in the club, or unless the club invites input and comments, they should limit their interest to what happens on the football pitch. Although, to comment on any news or statements made by the club seems fair enough, comments should be made in combination with a little respect for the people involved. They deserve no less.

Okay so you were proved right on this occasion. However to save the club it will require more than people begging questions won't it.

Anyone who revels in the downfall of this club isn't a supporter, grow up man.

Don't write abusive things to me then, I don't see any retractions to what was aimed at me having been proved 100% correct. I revel in the ignorance shown by people like you yes. Gullible happy clappers like you will contribute towards the destruction of my club, I treat you with the disdain you deserve.

Has the manager signed a written (paid) contract at the club, yes or no? Or put another way, is the manager on a rolling expenses contract? Id be interested to see what either would say.

So you would leave your family in the Midlands and come down to Torquay when your not getting paid and only get petrol expenses? Let alone John Ramshaw too, cant see that being true can you!?

A fans' forum is being suggested;anybody can ask question at that. I tell you a question though that doesn't need answering...... Mr Breed, do you love this Club ?

Heslop was anonymous in the first half at Eastleigh. He did improve in the second half but was ineffective overall. Too early to judge though, especially as he hasn't had a pre-season.

One thing that did disappoint me was that he wasn't very vocal. With so many young and inexperienced players in the team, Heslop and Ex need to take on a greater responsibility in terms of leadership. Ex is also fairly quiet and sometimes, particularly when we're struggling, we need our experienced players to encourage the young 'uns.

Not impressed with him against Woking or Cheltenham. Lacking good control, touch, passing and movement IMHO. But 300 appearances must count for something, so let's not judge too soon.

The same one who said we wouldn't score a goal in that game?

I'll pass on his 'opinion'
