It's nearly as funny as Forest getting the wally with the brolly. They are seriously pissed off about that around here. I've had to remove shoelaces off one of my colleagues at work to avoid serious consequences.
Makes you glad we have Jez.

Unbelievable that any club could be taken in so soon. Maybe in a year or so, once the dust had settled, but I'm shocked by this news, and delighted that hopefully it will have saved Paul and the club a few quid.
I have never watched a worse tactical team, let alone one so poorly prepared, unfit, and frankly clueless as the sides Ling put out in his season and a half with us, and I genuinely feel sorry for the Gulls. Well, up to a point as they beat us at Wembley!!
Quite how Torquay's press release say that Martin led Cambridge to 'impressive consolidation in tenth place in his first season' is absolutely beyond me when he inherited a side which had finished second, lost in the play off final, and had nothing like the budgetary constraints it does now.
Bad luck Gulls!!

It was the "impressive consolidation in tenth place in his first season" quote that I found astounding. ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)

Torquay's a good spot for a B and B though so I suspect Mr Ling is planning ahead to his next job.

This is most wonderful news for Cambridge United. ;D
Don't care how he does at Torquay.

Love the link to their message board. Someone mentioned Torquay need a new keeper... I'm sure he'll sign 3 or 4!

Steve McLaren is a good appointment. Martin Ling is not.

I wonder if because of their location they struggle to get decent candidates, unlike players, managers are of an age where most have settled families and may not want to move all the way down there. I wonder if Ling will be commuting? Bit of a mission from London (200 miles+) but I doubt he'd want to move his family if he's likely to only be there for a year or two at most.

I now fully expect BBB Saah to rock up at Plainmoor.

Love the link to their message board. Someone mentioned Torquay need a new kepper... I'm sure he'll sign 3 or 4! Bet Potter is glad he left!

Absolutely mental. You never know though, he may end up doing well there.
