Alan Knill CONFIRMED as new Torquay manager

[lexusguy]

Apparently Bury need £1 million urgently to stay in business
Not a good option for anyone I would have thought

[Jeff]

I don't see there being any truth in the Bury thing - as has been said they are struggling for cash and already have Kevin Blackwell and his staff - I don't see what role Brass would have there.

But, if he wasn't to come to us, I notice that Lee Hodges has today been sacked by Truro for "financial reasons" - now he would make a great Assistant!

[Trojan 67]

That's so bad, it even makes my jokes look good!

You reckon ? :no:

You're about as funny as a severe case of haemorrhoids.

:na: :whip:

[Trojan 67]

So here we are then.

A week into the close season and every man, team and it's dawg has done its retained list. Meanwhile, at Plainmoor, Wild Bill Cockup advises Mrs Lotto on the next cockup.

IT IS STILL F**K*NG HAPPENING !!!

With Phillips in charge, expect a new manager to begin a fortnight after pre-season training starts and the retained list done a week before the season opener.

Phillips you have to go,you're getting on my nerves now.

[Fonda]

What more could the board have done? They dispensed with the manager at the earliest opportunity, and offered the job to someone else almost immediately. We're now waiting for a response. What have they done wrong this time?

[Trojan 67]

In the big game every "player" is looking for that special bargaining chip.

Tintin (Knill) is a "player" and has two big barganing chips (as opposed to ML who only has one on the "looking for compensation" shoulder).

Knill bargains for his own assistant and a war chest for a fighting chance of going for automatic promotion.

Wild Bill Cockup says no and no funds in the January window.

Tintin walks away with Snowy.

Meanwhil;e, Wild Bill Cockup is still in situ as August approaches.

Calm down Troj...............relax brother.

Everything will be fine and it will all work itself out soon enough, you'll see. I'm expecting some news next week at the latest and then we can sit back and let the management assemble our squad from odds and ends over the summer. We should be excited mate not angry, Ling has gone and taken with him the horror show that is his preferred football style and we stayed up despite a season of hilarious calamities. I don't expect the board to mess this up and i have faith. Keep it real son and all will be ok man.

[Trojan 67]

I need to know who's who and what's what asp so I can look forward into the future to see if a season ticket is cost effective first, and whether serial ditherers within Plainmoor deserve the upfront dosh second.

[AustrianAndyGull]

Fair do's mate.

[Dave]

Yep calm down Troj, these things can often take more than a few days to sort out, Alan Knill would have had a good idea what was/is on offer and if he wasn't interested Knilly would have gone back north by now.

The board have got this right so far, once the decision to replace Lingy was made it was done fast, and they have said a new appointment will be made sooner rather than later, I am 100% sure a time limit on this as far as Alan Knill is concerned.

[Trojan 67]

Calm down Troj...............relax brother.
