WOTT'S GOT A BIG GULLS GIG

Squad of one welcomes new boss

- John Lyons

NEW Torquay United manager Paul Wotton is ready for a hectic summer of squad building - after all, he's only got one player on the books! Defender Austen Booth is the man in question and that leaves Plymouth Argyle legend Wotton with a mammoth task following his switch from National League South divisional rivals Truro City.

Yet the 46-year-old, handpicked by the Gulls' new owners, the Bryn Consortium, is looking at it as a glass-half-full situation.

"That can be very daunting or you can look at it and think 'I can pick the players with the right character for Torquay'," he told The NLP.

"It's going to be a really busy time trying to sign players. Negotiations don't get any easier these days - everyone wants to be paid fortunes! "Every off-season is busy, though this one might be a little busier."
