SOCIAL MEDIA REACTION: Paul Wotton Out

Football's a ruthless realm, investing time & emotion in a club like Torquay United, a capricious recreation to say the least! 2 goals away from promotion last season,league leaders 2 weeks ago, a dreadful 5 game run of performances. Paul Wotton, a good bloke. I wish him well 💛 https://t.co/u66JWCK6NG

A proper manager and an even better person that’s looked after me since moving down south like I was one of his own. Cannot thank him enough.

Wishing you all the best in your future Paul❤️ https://t.co/q5lTsH9YC8

Sad it ends like that for Paul, he’s an honest and hard working guy who was giving everything as manager of and almost got the job done last April. But is it the right decision? Yes almost certainly, though these players need to take responsibility to turn things around #tufc

Desperately sad to hear this news today. A great guy who always had time for fans and was great with us @TORQUAYTALK But it was inevitable after yesterday.

Promotion is still the aim, and we have time to achieve. But it has to change quickly. https://t.co/HFNSAuwEtq

Thank you gaffer & all the best in your next adventure. Brought us all to this club & helped us all along the way on & off the pitch! Gutted the way it’s ended.

We know we haven’t been good enough lately & it’s down to us to change that! Please stick with us yellows 💛 https://t.co/OJGb8becco

Just want to come on here and thank Paul for everything in the last year and a half. I’m forever grateful for the opportunity he’s given me to play for, and captain this football club. Helped me mature not only as a footballer but as a young man as well. Wishing him all the best https://t.co/LDaL8MSAu4

Thank you Paul.

I'm absolutely gutted it's come to this.

Your passion, honesty and integrity will always be remembered.

Last season was an incredible feat all things considered.

I wish you well wherever you go next.

Nobody likes to see anyone lose their job. But something had to change. Away from the football side of things paul is a very down to earth person and great to engage with. We wish him good luck in his next chapter. Time to the players now to push things forward 💪 coyy

Gutted it didn’t work out in the end for PW. Great man, gave everything for the badge. Just was never a fit for Torquay United. Get behind Warnock Tuesday. #COYY #tufc 💛💙 https://t.co/vCvQ34V9Uh

Torquay United have parted company with manager Paul Wotton the day after they were beaten 5-0 at home by Chelmsford City in the National League South.

The Gulls are fourth in the league but have been on a terrible run of results since Paul won the Manager of the Month award for… pic.twitter.com/TudHjoEpeV

Would like to thank the gaffer for my time with him and bringing me to this club , ultimately as players we have to take responsibility for the performances and start to put them right. Stick with us yellows https://t.co/dU4ndUZ4P0

Not going to get into the right or wrongs of today and I say this about Paul Wotton the person. He was always great with me and if I ever needed to go into the proverbial trenches, I’d want him beside me. A top class man who I wish nothing but the best for. A football man.
