Do me a favour......Torquay United fans don't 'do' fans' revolts ~ never have and never will but you are on the money; it was the dreadful appointment of Farcegreaves that did for this club. A dependence on the fabled notion of #legend status that was repeated in the appointment of Nicholson.
The job is too difficult to be handed out as a gift for someone to learn the ropes in; the club teetering too close to the edge to be entrusted to a learner driver and the club bereft of anyone with the necessary knowledge of non league football, it's management requirements and the DNA necessary in players being signed to be successful at this level.
The National League is
NOT a fourth division of the English Football League; it is the pinnacle of the non league game and that is a whole different universe!
Totally Agree, TUFC fans don't revolts, not sure whether you misunderstood my point or not, but for me it's about timing, and my suggestion is the time for a revolt has gone, say us TUFC did muster the balls to march on Plainmoor at the next home game with pitchforks and torches a lit, what will it change, now, nothing, G.I are not going to come out and say, we hear you, here's a few million of our bottom line to rebuild your club, our club is going have to be re-built brick by brick, unless someone with a love for our club comes into some real serious money.
Agree with the sentiment about Hargreaves and Nicho. Nicho, spoke to him a few times, he's genuinely is a good guy, we all know he works his fingers to the bone for our club, and goes above and beyond, but we're not a charity, we're supposed to be a professional football club, for me results, performances haven't been close to good enough, as I said on the Gateshead thread, 1 in 10 is not good enough, Wrexham have just won 5 on the spin, that's how you get yourself out of trouble.
Yes Nicho hasn't had money to spend like some of his recent predecessors, but over the years I've posted about scouting to the point I've bored myself on the subject, when you've little money to spend, scouting becomes all the more important as you know, we're paying for some lazy recruitment over the summer.
I come up with two examples straight away, of how the talent is out there if you look for it. Omar Bogle, from Hinckley to Solihull Moors prior to their promotion to the NLP, picked up by Grimsby now signed by Wigan.
And Kurtis Guthrie, born Jersey, from the humble beginnings of ST clement and Trinity, before FGR picked him from Welling, now at the age 23 free scoring in league 2 for Colchester.
