Torquay have said goodbye to interim manager Aaron Downes after he steered them away from a potentially catastrophic relegation. Here's the new owners novel way to introduce former Argyle favourite Paul Wotton as the new manager. Also featuring their new Football Advisor Neil Warnock. https://twitte...
The forum was a while ago so unless my memory is worse than I already know didn't Dave Bloxham say that the council view The Completely Suzuki Stadium, Cakebridge Place and Parklands as essentially one piece of real estate that they own. So I'm just musing that maybe the council have a master plan o...
King Brian. https://twitter.com/thistlearchive/status/1789024546042810655?t=X1CSN-2bXIk1Kk085Xi2BA&s=19 Shame he couldn’t make the step up into the EFL. Not used properly and his goal ratio looks good against our current bunch (Matty Taylor excepted) Not used properly? He was a centre forward p...
Maybe, it will also make clubs think harder about the value of having modern LED pitchside advertising systems which many on here have suggested in the past.
Just had a proper "wait, what?!" moment. Apparently Jermaine McGlashan has won the first promotion of his managerial career, taking Croydon up via the play-offs. As surprising as it is that McGlashan has gone into management, (to me, he didn't seem like the type of player that usually bec...
I don’t understand why the 3pm blackout doesn’t continue just for Premier League games and lifted for leagues below, at least from One and Two. If they are going to show more lower league games on TV, why not put them on at 3pm. The rule was designed to encourage people to go and watch their local ...
Tozer was a key player for us and although I'm not advocating he return to us he would be a like for like replacement for Curtis Davies. Interesting to compare the 200k we held out for when Wrexham signed him as a 31 year old with and the 250-300k we are getting for Alfie. Both of similar age and a ...
I'm probably in the minority in thinking that a CEO isn't necessarily a magic bullet. We couldn't keep commercial personnel for any length of time for starters, but there's no denying that having lost two directors the board definitely don't have all the different skill sets needed. A golden chance ...
Haven't we a decent record with loanee centre halves? Off the top of my head Michael Hector , Rob Dickie, Cameron Burgess, Jamie Pollocks lad, Greaves. One of a similar quality would be nice in League 2. Not forgetting other central defenders we had on loan who went on to have good careers after sp...
Southwood Lloyd and Ferry offered new contracts Ferry if he goes to another English club there would be compo Lloyd apparently has lots of options Southwood may have something lined up but does anyone want to sign a keeper with a broken leg One suspects Luke S has been offered a new contract firstl...
Good news on those two. If we can get them to sign quickly along with Pett seemingly staying on, that would give us a pretty solid nucleus of a squad to tackle League 2 next season. Also interesting that DC is still very much leading this process so perhaps talk of him walking away are a little pre...
Well MM returning would certainly be a strange one, particularly before we know who our manager or head coach will be next season. DB to Darrell " we'd love you to stay and by the way we're bringing in a Dof F. Robin's whispers and rumours sometimes become fact and MM isn't too popular with the...
Today's session is fun! Mr Beer KC has really started to pull AvdB apart. She's got another day and a half of this! In fairness he's got a lot of ammunition to use. His best line this morning was " was this something you just airbrushed from your mind" A fun article on her here being lamb...
Crikey we could potentially be rooting for dear old Fleetwood next Saturday. Oh well needs must perhaps. Talking of potentially, drama has come to town regarding the National League play offs. https://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/national-league-statement-gateshead-football-club-81474 The controvers...
Well the meeting is still on You Tube here. https://www.youtube.com/live/eKrbu733csI?si=scuGj86AwIob6Tl7 My main take was that the major shareholders would be open to selling their stakes to the right people, but not to putting the 12 million quid in that some think they should. Good to hear Dave B...

Angela van den Bogerd next week! That one will be fun if the portrayal of her role in the dramatisation is anything close to reality.
Ha ha, yes.
Whetting our appetite for top of the bill, The Very ,Very, Right Reverend Paula in May, if she hasn't taken a trip to B &Q by then.
Mr Beer KC, appears to be getting quiety annoyed with the latest witness, Rodric Williams (former litigation lawyer and now head of Legal at POL). Meanwhile, Mr Williams' face has adopted an expression of permanent confusion as if he doesn't really understand why he has been asked to appear nor why...
He hardly gave us decisions the like of which we have had to suffer. No offside goals, no dodgy penalties against or stonewallers not given. Not even any constant, repeated fouls/wrestling not given. Just a few helpful free kicks here and there. We are due well more than that. Have to say, I think ...
Our own manager will also be thrust further into the limelight if he manages to retain our League One status.
Nobody could begrudge him a move if someone came in for him.
But hey let's worry about Saturday first.
