I think on a previous thread about odds for next Torquay manager I said something like I'd bet my life he won't get it - I'm astonished.
Torquay fans will be hugely underwhelmed, I'm sure.

Martin emerged as the outstanding choice from an excellent range of candidates!!!
Did he miss out Cambridge on his CV???

LOL
Good luck to him (and them) but I wouldn't be surprised to see them back down here in the next few years. They're a small club attendance wise in league two and I don't think they're in a great position financially (big losses in both their promotion season and first in league 2). Buckle had them punching above their weight.

Ha, they have been taken in by the bullshit factor, and area he's quite an expert in. I wonder what his excuses were for failing with us.
Very positive news for us, I expect.

Just found my exact quote:
"Not many 16/1 shots land the manager's job. Usually, even at a lower level, the bookies have reasonably good info so they wouldn't price a genuine contender at such long odds.
I'd bet everything I own that he will not get the job."
Pretty glad nobody took me up on that!

I suppose he could do well if he gets the right assistant in. I presume Carden or Schofield won't be in the running  |

"His next managerial role arrived in the summer of 2009 when he was appointed by Cambridge United and his first season was one of impressive consolidation, finishing 10th in the Blue Square Premier.
He left Cambridge in February 2011 and will now be the man to lead United into another enthralling League 2 campaign".
Blimey, I know you have to talk up an appointment, but after so nearly getting promoted last season, he will have to do a lot better than he did here to be a success down there. Notice they glossed over his record with us last season which led to his sacking. I wonder who else they interviewed?

If he gets a bad assistant, he'll be gone within a year...

Pretty glad nobody took me up on that! Damn another chance missed. If someone had taken you up on that though would you have felt compelled to give them at least a token for their efforts? or would you have posted deeds, car keys etc? or just furious backtracking "i wasn't really serious you muppet!" |
