In my opinion the club did not have another week, or another day, not even one more hour, a decision had to be made and fast. The one thing that became clear last night is change nothing and the club "was" Going down to the conference no doubting it.
Poeple can critize the number of threads on here, and they can refer to comments as harsh unfair, for me it demostrated just how passionate about our club us Torquay fans really are, passion for your football club is not a bad thing, and things came to head last night for everyone at the club from the chairman down to every fan.
We now have the action we wanted, personaly, I am not going to read into Alan Knill's management record, I have no idea about his time at Rotherham and the difficulties that club had during his time there, nor am I going to read into his time at Scunny, were Scunny realy a Championship club, could anyone have kept them there long term, who knows I do not.
However what I do remember is Alan Knill's Bury side coming down to Plainmoor and giving us a real butt slapping with some of the best fast flowing attacking football I have seen, it was one of the few times at the final whistle having seen us lose that I clapped the away team to show my respect.
We are trouble we can all see that, just read the club statment where it clearly says Alan Knill will given all the backing he needs to keep this club in the league, including loan signings. This might to some seem as chest thumping, drum beating, but we the fans must give Knill all our support. The alternative is relegation, do any of us really want that?
