Strange one with luque he started the season well, there's a player there hopefully the new manager can get it out of him

I've been in big business long enough to know that any managing director worth their salt, DOESN'T find it 'the hardest day of their life' to carry out the dismissal of a manager for reasons of abject failure.Alan wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 10:02 pmWhat’s funny about that?

Funny how he told Time FM it was a 'board decision'.
I think its safe to say Peter Freund called him Sunday morning and told him it was an order that he sack him immediately.

So yes, I do find it very funny that we continue to employ an MD who does.....
Er...so a draw was about right then....ARNU wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 9:53 pmWe had lots of chances and didn’t take them hence dropped points, and because we didn’t take them we were lucky that Torquay didn’t nick it with one of their 3 shots that hit the post. Hope that’s clearer for you.RM1Dagger wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 9:08 pmNot sure how on one had we were lucky Torquay didn't score three or four but we also 'dropped' two points...ARNU wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 6:45 pm I don’t miss many games and that was a very similar game to the two Ebbsfleet matches. We still wouldn’t score from open play if the game was still going on now. Torquay had ample chances it’s just pure luck they didn’t get 3 or 4 from their chances. 2 points dropped I think. Not good enough.
Thompson has made it very clear to anyone who wants to hear it that he finds sacking managers very difficult. It clearly affects him on a personal level and I haven’t got a problem with that. Shows that deep down he is a decent bloke.dagger4eva wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 8:54 pm 1st half was a vast improvement on the last game I had the displeasure of being at in person VS Ebbsfleet.
A really good tempo, lots of pressing, some decent aggressive football and unlucky not to go in with a small lead.
2nd half was definitely a much tighter affair and probably got out of jail with Torquay hitting the woodwork what I think was a total of 3 times.
Manny played OK but my joint men of the match would have gone to Will Wright and Liam Gordon. Both played out of their skins and gave near faultless performances.
A shame the same couldn't be said for a few other players, namely Luque and McQueen who were complete and utter passengers.
Lots of huff and puff from Quigley but same old with him.
Grant might as well not have bothered coming on.
A real plus to see Sam Deering make the last few minutes.
We could've been playing until the end of Jan and still not scored. One thing is for certain - with what is largely a rabble, Mcmahon has one hell of a job on his hands.
2 or 3 decent attacking players will need to be added to the squad, as well as an urgent need to get Balanta back firing on all cylinders sooner rather than later.
A bit of an odd one having Thommo telling everyone up in the bar how having to phone Taylor to sack him on Sunday when it was his (PT's) wife's birthday was the "hardest day of his life"....
Funny how he told Time FM it was a 'board decision'.

One final thought, just listened to the latest interview with Jody Brown.
Gotta say, I've come full circle and completely warned to the bloke. He clear has a great affection for the club, genuinely gives a fu*k, and I hope Daryl can find a place for him on his coaching team.
