Regardless of whether the manager was going or not, they had one massive game left at Old Trafford live on Sky.

Surely thats enough to put any non-football business right to the back of your mind??

From a neutral point of view you looked like lost sheep a bit and didnt have any creativity to get past an organised defence, and most people knew you were better than that. Think the occasion got to some of your players. O'Kane best of the bunch

Thanks Stanley! We are having enough problems with our ex-manager raiding our club. We don't need you putting the boot in as well. :slap:

I don't think it will have affected your preperation for the play off games anyway. Your lot beat imo the best team in the play offs easily enough and just choked at OT. Whether Buckle had agreed to come here or not he'd have wanted another promotion on his CV and gave his all......

Believe this to be a fair assessment of the Buckle/Play offs/departure period

Craig Stanley certainly seems thrilled to have joined a 'big club'

New Pirates' signing Craig Stanley was with Paul Buckle at Torquay at the end of last season. The 28-year-old midfielder moved to the Devon side on loan from Morecambe, and told us it was a very quick turnaround: "I knew about the interest about a week ago," he said.

"Once I more-or-less knew there was a firm offer on the table, and the chance to work with Paul again, that swayed my decision.

"Moving to Torquay's probably been the best move for me in my career so far, and I've probably played my best football at Plainmoor.

"Partly that's been down to the gaffer, and probably helped with making my decision to come and play for a big club like Bristol Rovers.

"Getting back to League One has got to be the aim for us this year."

I can think, off the top of my head, of 4 plus there is, at least 1, who is still at the club and must be "over the moon" that Buckle has left to manage a "Bigger" team.

I had always liked Buckle and, IMHO, has done a decent job for TUFC, but his recent actions have left me very angry, the way he went to BR BEFORE the play off semi's against the Shrews was out of order and, I think, just about sums up his character. Me, Me Me. One can't help but look at Eddie Howe. He left Ballmouth with his dignity intact and is still "loved, and respected, by a majority of Ballmouth fans. :bow: Thats because he did it the right way and didn't bite the hand that feed him.

Sorry, I know I am going over old ground, and we have to move on so Rant over (For the time being) o:)
Have to say that I don't agree with that. Yeah, Buckle had a lot of disagreements with players, but, how many have ended up in the same league or higher? The only one I can think of would be Matt Green, but he's absolute shite.

I think you could see that a lot of the players wanted to play for Buckle, and while he made the wrong decisions tactically in games, he got some huge decisions right too (Hargreaves, Sills, Woods etc) that he was all criticised for, a lot. Still hate him as much as the next person though :lol:

As for Mansell, can't see Manse leaving unless he is pushed out. Same with Nicho, I think they've grown to love the club as much as we all do, and I can see both of them finishing their careers here.

Hope so. He's a rock, in midfield and a good captain.

with regards to the twitter thing it seem's mansell was not a buckle fan and as posted on other topics buckle is a great man-manager well yes he probally is but the problem with being a great man-manager is you will become like marmite as in any workplace not everyone likes everyone.

I also saw somewhere in Manse's twittering that him and Nicho are what Torquay are built on - suggests some affinity for the club and that they're not going anywhere (I hope).

Re: Craig Stanley/Twitter

Regi. That was the impession that I got, from Manse's reply. He did not enjoy playing at right back and much preferes to stick to the midfield. To be honest, as good a job as he did , I won't be sorry to see him playing the "bulldog" role, in his preferred position, and a PROPER right back. Thats one of the things that I won't miss about Buckle...playing men out of position. Billy Kee a winger.... I don't think so!
