The Serious Torquay Thread

You have to ask what the motive is for the takeover,you would like to think its football but as on many occasions before football seems to come second to other motives.i hope TUFC survive in the conference this season but wether the new buyers have the club at heart,only time will tell!

For a start perhaps you should ask the steelworkers at Redcar, Scunthorpe, Port Talbot etc???

if the aim of the takeover is to strip away all the assets, sell them for a profit and then disappear, then I'd say a bit of prudence isn't such a bad thing? The only way to know is to ask the question.

In fairness if it's about asset stripping I think they would take over a club with assets worth stripping

Football is a unique business totally different model altogether
