Torquay United Fans Forum

I realy hope the next season isn't as bad as the dross we put up with last season.
Honestly, I have never seen a bunch of players (which Ling bought in) put on a no-show week in week out. I follow United home and away and have never been so close to packing it all in until last year. The Abbey became a place of depression under Ling. He got his top 8 budget and look where we ended up. It wasn't so much the results, it was the way the team played and how Ling had no tactical knowledge what so ever.
During the appointment of Ling 2 years ago we were all very excited. Lings downfall was the 'Three Year Plan' which over a year and a half had no evidence of even starting or progressing. He loves his excuses and I give it a month until you've had enough of his sayings such as 'Passing with purpose' or 'When I was at Orient...' Worst manager I have seen up there for ages (and trust me there have been a few).
I like seeing clubs from non-league do well, apart from Stevenage who make me feel sick to the stomache... so I do honestly hope he doesn't send you into an ambitionless state of mind and turn you away from the sport and club you love like he did to so many life-long supporters of CUFC. Last season, football became a chore to watch rather than enjoyment. Don't fall for his chatter.
Good luck with the season and hopefully see you in league two soon - A play off rematch is due!
PS i am sure you have all got the wembley win recorded somewhere.. when your team is celebrating with the fans on the pitch after, you will notice a small gorup of about 10 u's fans stayed behind to the right hand side of the goal (looking from your end) we were completed destraught.. I was one of them! haha
