Anyone on here who runs a kids sunday league team couldn't do any worse than Owers with the squad he has and the many benefits his team enjoy over other part time amateur clubs in the NLS.
Maybe the club should run an innovative competition?
Fans put their name into a hat to manage the team for 5 games and whoever gets pulled out does so and if they do better than Owers (which is highly likely) then they can have the job for the rest of the season and Owers gets to go where he deserves to be. Signing on.
I also read recently that Paul Sturrock has gone back to Bonnie Scotland to scout for Dundee United. He did offer the club advice and the club ignored / refused his free help. What a total collection of belmers we have running TUFC.
Sturrock was sat a few rows behind me at Home Park yesterday so not sure how much scouting he's doing in Scotland.
Go G.O!!

He's the scout in England for Dundee United. Sorry, didn't explain that clearly Burnham.

Harrop has zero accountability. If this was my club he would be out the door with anyone who is connected with the woeful underperformance of this club.
I’d love to buy the club some day and make some big changes but perhaps a fans led takeover could be a old option with the right leaders and backers?

Fans perhaps should have been advised better when Thea etc left if i'm being ultra picky and maybe it would have been viable then with more fans coming forward to put money in. I don't think it was handled very well at all at the time and fans were not really kept up to date with the severity of the situation. It's not for me though to pick holes in that temporary running of the club because it was all they could do to keep the club simply running and fulfilling the fixtures at that time. It was chaotic for sure which i can appreciate.
Unfortunately however, that was the key time where fans perhaps could have taken over but it all happened so quickly and nobody was really ready.
Before anyone knew what day it was, Osborne had swooped and the rest is history.

Dave Phillips etc wouldn’t have anything to do with TUST.

Apologies Gullpower. I may be misinformed. If anyone can put me right if so then that would be great.
Was Mr Phillips part of the Stephen Breed consortium or was he not and then gained overall control from them before selling up to GI?

In the past few days, I have heard stories from two sources that players don't like or respect Gary Owers. Okay - they may just be rumours, but no smoke without fire as they say. After the Slough debacle, he had a chance to change things over the next four games - three at home and Gloucester away. He failed abysmally at the first hurdle. In my view, the players he has brought in are good enough to get us out of this league, but looking at them yesterday, they are not enjoying their football and are not a close knit team. Gary Johnson would be a good appointment, but I can't see him being interested in dropping down to NLS.
Go G.O!!

Steve Breed was a member of that group. At the time he was also a member of TUST (and may well still be). He left and later answered questions about his time as part of the group on this forum

Far too harsh on Owers. Need to give the man another 15 games minimum to prove himself. I also can't help but see a lot of Stubsy in Reidy, top player can't let him go.

You've posted the same thing twice.
How hilarious!

It's a tough call.
Gary Jonhnson who has managed over 1000 games and won promotion 5 times with 3 different clubs, won the FA Trophy and took a side to within 1 game of reaching the Premier League.
Or Kevin Nicholson who has managed less than 100 games, presided over 2 relegation battles and hasn't managed in the 12 months since he was sacked.
Go G.O!!

But has been coaching at a Premier League Club who were really impressed by him.
Just to balance Jerry's argument
