ECPL Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Cole stands down as manager of Torpoint Athletic after the 3-2 defeat at Tavistock tonight. May I be the first to say he has done a cracking job at Torpoint and will be sadly missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetty Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Was sorry to read this. Cole Done a good job. Have enjoyed watching Torpoint under his stewardship. Who’s in the frame to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teflon123 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Probably Dean Cardew. Maybe Lee Bevan in a role until they appoint someone or maybe he might fancy it full time. Also Wayne Hilson?? Ex Player who has a great managerial record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Wayne would be a terrific appointment if he was interested in returning to the game. Charming man, although occasionally wears a to strong an aftershave which can make your eyes water... Knows a few players as well, which might put off the current playing staff if their places were up for grabs..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Done a great job at Torpoint but an even better one at Vospers Oak Villa with no budget. Wish Dan and John all the best for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Poldark Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 What a shame this is. One of the most passionate and talented young managers around, who was expected to finish in the top 5 with a shoestring budget has now gone. His first year I think they came 8th? The second year, a great VASE run - with the resources available, that's a great feat. Torpoint have delusions of grandeur if they think they deserve to be 8th or above with the resources currently given to their management team.

spark Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 The team he assembled at Vospers Oak Villa FC three years ago would of finished top five of the Premier League without a budget. The biggest problem these days is players do not want to travel simple, that's why now these players play p & d league. Dan will be a big loss to Torpoint FC also will is dad John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticker walked the west league last year by 20 points and are bottom half of the table . Wasn’t a bad pub team .only a hat full of their players that play at swpl level now . At bottom half clubs apart from Lewis young . and the rest of them play in west still or the the ECPL ???. And if the players played in the west there no difference in travel . And didn’t Dan take the whole vospers squad to Torpoint . But realised a lot of them was not quite up to scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 The team at Vospers would of done a great job at Premier level. No Dan did not take all the players with him. A few moved away and a few play local now cause no one wants to travel. The team at Vospers played some of the best football I have seen at this level. No we did not win the league correct but we did the double over the winners Helston. Also there was no budget at Vospers these players played for nothing unlike the premier league.

Have you lost your marbles (again)? Fitness, yes, organisation, agree, I would also add talent and financial muscle (from whatever source) but discipline? Never, most of the players and many managers (particularly one at your home team) lack even the most basic self discipline let alone collective discipline within the team. Does anybody maintain an average card count between the teams/leagues? Certainly if “foul and abusive language” and “dissent” were dealt with appropriately by our over-generous referees, some teams in the premier league would struggle to keep enough players on the field or a full technical area!

Leeds, I believe that Bodmin Town Football Club have made clear that they would rather that you didn’t use the nominative plural ”we” when referring to their team! Now where have I suggested that they are “bad”? Just indisciplined, and it wasn’t as if I was referring specifically to Bodmin Town, I think that, if you read it, you’ll find that my post relates to the Premier league as a whole (although, admittedly, not exclusively)!
