Ian Pethick Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Presumably Truro City are only a couple of weeks away from pre-season training, surprised at the lack if news regarding players arriving and going. After last year's shambles of a summer, would have thought the new manager and owners would want to hit the ground running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have kept Leigh Robinson in charge and they'd still be in the National League South.

Just sacking Robinson is enough to lose respect for them - in the relegation when he joined, out of it when he left, back in once the new old-school guy came in. On a similar note - getting rid of Tully who got them promoted and straight in the National League South play-offs - at this point they were genuinely knocking on the door of the National League, only to replace Tully with Hodges who struggled and has shown his true colours this week. He left when the money went at Truro, came back, struggled and left again two games into the season. Now the money is gone at St Austell he's left even before a training session. Poor decisions made, sacking talented young managers with proven ability. Instead now they want to lump it up to the giant Brandon Diau who can't run or control a ball to save his life. Really deserve what they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then empty vessels make most sound. Where did I say I was going to take over a club? This is a forum for discussion and expressing opinions. I would also say Real Madrid are a disgrace of a club - sacking managers after winning the Champions League, having fans boo players for no valid reason (Bale after almost single handedly winning CL final and Ronaldo after not scoring for about three games), lack of respect to club legend Casillas during departure after 725 games etc. My point being - just by a club having success does not necessarily mean they deserve respect or that they are run well. It's my opinion that Truro City are a poorly run club, which many people would agree with. I'm not sure why my reasonable opinion is such an outrage to you.

superdario Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Robinson was going to get us relegated and we took a chance with not that many games left, normal in football. The Tully decision I agree, no idea why he was got rid off, perhaps we'll never know. I think there is much more to Lee leaving than money, I could have an educated guess, but I won't on social media. The money hasn't gone at St Austell, he was led up the path by the sound of it, 4 of there best players were already leaving for Helston, despite him being told it was a settled team. Brandon was a gamble that didn't work. We have new owners, are losing players who I didn't think were good enough for Conference south, lets wait and see what happens before the season starts. I've already been impressed by our new fitness coach and I expect further news in the next few weeks. Really looking forward to the new season!!!

CornishWall Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Getting rid of Tully seemed odd but he was the only one who showed any ability at that level. The others were out of their depth imo. Plus there is two sides to every story which we may never know. As the new owners have only been here for five minutes it cant be said that the club is a disgrace,maybe in the past but no point dwelling on that now. Give this new mob a chance and hopefully the club will be run properly. superdario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsman10 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Playing a whole season at torquay infront of one man and his dog. Pretty much sealed relegation. What a decision that was from the club. Home games are always vital in staying up. Signing players like river Allen etc who is actually a good player then just getting rid again , how are you meant to be build a team with that attitude The club just seem to roll from one disaster to another. Give it 4 or 5 years they will prob be back in the peninsula league while clubs like Helston and parkway march on past them Zac and Rayvon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdario Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Torquay was hardly a choice the club made lightly, it was that or go into extinction. We can debate Rivers qualities and his constant arguing with officials, but he gave his all for us. We may probably end up back in the local leagues, wouldn't that make all the non ambitious, bitter rivals happy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact two clubs! However, the goalposts have been moved slightly recently with taking promotion in the future going to be more difficult to squirm out of with the alternative being possible demotion! I hate to suggest it but I can see clubs being happier finishing second rather than champions! Ideally I think we would all want to take promotion and climb the pyramid ladder, however as we know it has its pitfalls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player turnover must be massive and after hodges left and his links to argyle youth players the player quality is declining. How come parkway ,Tiverton Taunton etc seem to be picking up players Truro seem not good enough and they seem to be thriving at new clubs I just look at a club like plymouth parkway doing things the right way with ambition to climb the league structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Established infrastructure and solid committees /boards. Clear strategic visions. Their own grounds. Early days for the new owners and management I know, but Truro currently have none of these. Look at Taunton where Rocky Neal, Matt Wright, Shane White, Ed Palmer and Ryan Brett (all ex Truro) are thriving at a successful and stable club. They carried on seamlessly after Leigh Robinson and Michael Meaker left due to an effective structure and strategy being in place. The quality of their recruitment and retention again this summer underliines this. Spoke to a member of the Truro squad last season (who I won't name) who told me that it was a NL South club that was on occasions run like a Sunday morning pub side. One example he gave was that at one match they didn't have enough socks available. Zac, sportsman10 and somersetspur 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
