Torquay United Fans Forum

Was just reading the below post on the BR Gas site and thought it raised some points...anyone have any thoughts on this?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>What a whinge!

The Torquay fan is quite right to say that when Buckle left Exeter he took many of the contacts that had been lined up for us by our manager Paul Tisdale, we certainly didn't moan about it. All part and parcel as they say. Bucks even lured some contracted players over to the yellow side but luckily they were fairly average to crap (if he'd got Seabourne and Mackie as he wanted he'd have got some real deals). Like I say it's understandable when someone has spotted and worked with people, to take them on with you, players are only responsible for themselves when all is said and done.

I've always thought Buckle is a good manager, he learnt a lot at the feet of Paul Tisdale and has proven on several occasions at Torquay that he is good at finding players and forming a team around their abilities. To be honest a league 2 play off final place for a club like Torquay is a bloody miracle!

If he can keep it in his trousers he'll do fine for you at Rovers! <<<<<<<<<<<

Bit of an odd question but how come Zebs never seems to do interviews???

Don't ever recall seeing or reading an interview with him..touch of the Scholes about him!!

Bit earlier than the play offs, Buckle applied for the job in January when we opted for Penney.

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

LA Galaxy as well I heard.....

Plus what Bevan said about him in the Bristol Evening Post....about being the best manager he has ever played under..

Today...this song comes to mind...

So anyone know if John Milton has gone???

From the official site it would seem that he has...

Gutted about this

All the best Scott...seemed like a good fella

Not so sure he would have gone if there was a manager in place...

Bristol Rovers have swooped for Torquay keeper Scott Bevan.
...on twitter

Panic about your spelling of panic!

This would have been easier to swallow if Buckle had made an upwards move...I would have thought Brentford would have been a good call for PB rather than non-mighty Bristol Rovers....
