.if you dont I have the name , the lease , the players contracts etc and you can start from scratch.
It then remains that our sole hope is a late application to the western league, sensible questions from the league such as,have you got an approved ground, have you got a team, have you even got a manager, have you even got a strip or a name, do you have a budget, these are things that cannot be sorted out overnight, with say 500 TUST members who all have their own differing opinion and a say on our new name/manager do we have to go through time consuming ballots
Clarke Osbourne could relocate the club, as the original Wimbledon became the MK Dons, but where to? Near his Bristol base ? when you already have City, Rovers and Bath City on the doorstep, so the Bristol Gulls wouldn't work, Gloucester, there's Cheltenham, FGR and Gloucester city , not going to work there either.
So can't see a single reasons as to why he'd want to leave Torbay and take the football club with him, also must be remembered Torbay Council own the lease, the lease is between Torbay Council the owner and TUFC the tenant, under any scenario CO doesn't get to walk away with the lease.
The most likely thing that will happen if CO doesn't get what he wants within any set time frame will be for CO to withdraw funding and walk away. In this case, and everyone with an I.Q slightly above a turnip knows the most desirable option would be TUST with an investor/investors taking control of the club in it's current form, but the likely hood of that coming to pass, is slim at it's best.
So that will leave of us with a phoenix club, as TUFC would have gone into liquidation, in which case the lease between Torbay Council and the club would cease. Phoenix Torquay may not get automatic entry into any step level, may have to wait one or more seasons.
Yes in the event of a phoenix club there would be ballots, TUST members and community shareholders would have to appoint a management committee, who would have to present their decisions to be voted on, democracy would win the day, but when you own a share in your football club, would you stay away, because your preferred candidate didn't get the job ?
A phoenix club is the last resort, but what's so great about what we have now , if nothing changes between now and June, season ticket sales will collapse, a phoenix club maybe required no matter what, and is nothing to be scared of.
