Torquay United manager Gary Owers has dismissed speculation that he may walk away from the club following their relegation from the National League last night.
The Gulls’ relegation to the sixth tier of English football was confirmed last Saturday and then they 4-3 at home to bottom club Guiseley. Following the game, Owers described the experience as the “lowest point” in his managerial career.
The former Bath boss has vowed not to call time on his spell at Plainmoor. Owers told BBC Sport: “I’m not quitting and I’m planning for next season.
“I’ve been planning for next season for weeks and weeks, whatever the outcome. I’ve been planning for two scenarios so I’m going to get on with that.”
He continued: “I might not have much support, but I do have some support, I know that.
“I’ve got support on the inside, definitely, and the only way I can improve things is by doing what I’m going to do, which is bring my own players in with my own ideas and work the way I want to work.
“Some of the things have been out of my control, but I know that when the final whistle goes on Saturday everything after that point will be under my control and then I’ll get on with it and we’ll put it right.”
Torquay will play at their lowest level for 89 years next season.
