Clark Osborne/Jim Parker Interview

[knightmaregull]

DCC aren't key players in anything. Torbay is a unitary authority.

They have a financial interest in the Bristows Bench facilities as Culmstock said? I don't know if this is true but if it is then Osborne would need to factor them into his plan.

Spires get Plainmoor, close down 2 stands and use the pitch. Osborne gets their Quinta playing fields, builds his houses.

Rather a telling factor that when Osborne turns up in the area (as it's rarer than finding hens teeth)it isn't to think of ways of strengthening the squad in an attempt to get promoted as I think the five year plan was a return to the second division or Maybe it's a ten year plan now.No , every time he shows his face it's zero to do with the on pitch improvement but how he can build a fantastic new stadium where the team can show off it's skills!

Does Clark ever ask Garry why we are so poor and if he needs a bigger budget?

Does Garry ever ask him for more money as these lads are all he can afford on the budget he has been given?

Oh to be a fly on the wall at these meetings.

After reading Brewers Boys post above I got to musing into their “in depth”conversations.


Phone Conversation

Mr Osborne: Hi Gary.

Hey Mr Parker

You planning on manning up and doing another interview with Mr Osborne to follow up on your previous interview with “Petrolhead” or are you done now?

If you don’t have the guts to ask some real questions,
Would you mind if Dave Thomas got a chance?

Hey Mr Osborne, you wanna man up
and chat with Mr Thomas?

[The deluder]

Why? Thomas is a pussy as well.

[Colorado]

North Curry House: what say you?

This article is quite damning of the clubs owner and his 'plans' for a new stadium.

Weren’t the ‘impressive’ plans mentioned nicked from Grimsby? They just put a badge over the Grimsby badge which you could still see

I think it highlights what most of us think - what is does not tell us is what is the lesser of multiple bad options. There's a reason why frogs can't jump backwards.
