Self inflicted problems for the fifth season running......
Sticking with a manager clearly not up to the job and then realising just four games into the season what a pig's ear he had made of the summer signings.
Not having his replacement already sealed and delivered if not signed, and the dreadful hiatus before Owers came in.
Failure to scrutinise the previous manager's percentages of the budget to too small a percentage of the whole squad thus forcing the impractical reliance on so any young loanees being taken on board just to get the squad up to numerical strength.
A poor footballing infrastructure and destabilising environment has (over a period of time) brought the club it's just desserts ~ relegation into a level of football more suited to it's inability to operate at a level commensurate to where it is dropping from. It was the same when we dropped out of the Football League; and it will be the same further down the road if this club does not come to terms with it's own dreadful manner of running it's business.
The same old dog shaking the same old bone If you are aware of other ball games, apart from Association Football, you probably think that W.G.Grace is in some way responsible for England's latest batting collapse or that Webb Ellis is directly to blame for England's abject Six Nations performance. Take a mental laxative Merse to relieve your cranial constipation: Owers may be the new Mersiah but he hasn't exactly made a silk purse with the innumerable signings that he has made, has he? If only you were the Manager/Chief Coach/Groundsman/Minibus Driver/HE Reporter etc etc Merse, with your infinite footballing wisdom and endless list of contacts, the pig's ear that you consider to be Nicholson's legacy would not even have presented a challenge to you. With three quarters of the season remaining you would have comfortably assured Torquay United of the title so although Owers may be a lesser mortal than yourself he should surely have been easily able to avoid relegation if he was a capable
manager. Instead all that he has
managed is to turn the pig's ear into a dog's breakfast without even achieving the traditional 'dead cat's bounce' when he took over.
You may well be correct with regard to your comments regarding the infrastructure of the club but that has no relevance to the performances of the players. If the players perform badly the responsibility belongs to the man who picks them, coaches them and instructs them tactically: at present that person is Owers and the fact that the team has failed to improve during his tenure is attributable directly to his competence, or lack of it, rather than that of his predecessor.
