Torquay United manager sacked

Torquay United have sacked their manager Gary Owers following a disappointing start to the season.

The Gulls boss has been in charge at Plainmoor for a year.

In that time club was relegated from the National League.

At the weekend the club lost one nil at home to Chippenham - leaving them 14th in National League South.

Chairman Clarke Osborne posted this announcement on the club's website.

Commenting on the decision Gary Owers says he leaves the club with huge regret having not had the success they'd planned for.
