Torquay United Fans Forum

Darren Moore is now a free agent!

Well I’m glad I could bring a laugh. Not my intent but “c’est la vie.”

It’s really irrelevant as Mr Johnson will remain at the club as long as he likes or until Mr Osborne gives up(which seems to be highly likely given recent comments threads).

All the best. See you on Feb 3

Colorado, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but Deeney threatened a 4th official threatening to punch him in the head, he got sent off from the touchline, he called out publicly Fankaty Dabo bordering on humiliation, he won 0 out of 6, his post match interviews pretty much ALL of them he came across as aloof, arrogant, ready to shift the blame, and up himself... I kind of think his Mastermind performance says it all no correct answers on HIS specialist subject...he was apparently mooted for the Walsall job a while ago being an ex player, pretty much the majority of fans there didn't want him....I think he got pissed off at players not being at a level or standard and his frustration came up to the surface, so if he was like that at a league 2 club, what in the blue hell would he make of current Gulls player standard, it just would never work out for multiple reasons.

Bloke showed his colours at Forest Green

You'll want Rooney next

Or Joey Barton

Player / Manager yes we would be lucky but not a cat in hells chance as the comedians think we have the Best Manager already as our league position and away form suggests

As a manager.
We all make mistakes. Troy has made big ones at Forest Green but I don’t think it was out of malice. I think he was taking the job. Very seriously. I think he has a great work ethic. I think he is a “grafter.“ I think he has guts. I think he has passion. I think he would give it 100% wherever he goes. That’s who he is.
I would feel lucky if he came to Torquay

Surely Colorado means Troy Deeney as a manager rather than a player.

Troy Deeney??, think someone has been on an afternoon drinking session...

I wish that is what we needed. I believe the majority of our players do run their socks off and put in real effort, Sadly, they are just not good enough. This season we have never looked like we dominate games. Shouting at them is not going to make them better players. We really need a complete shift out of the majority. The only thing is, I can see us sneaking into the last place play off place and convincing ourselves that they weren't that bad. With very few exceptions they really are the worst squad of players I have ever seen at Plainmoor and I do not enjoy watching them.

He could certainly still do a job as a player at our level!

Yes.
We are in need of a ball busting hard ass.
And I’m guessing Deeney will have learned to temper his comments to the press

But it doesn’t matter one way or the other. Mr Osborne has no interest in improving TUFC

Seriously?

Hire him
