He's resigned for "health reason" so not a lot to find out, unless your suggesting he didn't leave Torquay for similar reasons?? Back to the OP i can't honestly see waht Swindon can offer he couldn't achieve at Rovers? Correct, alcoholism is an illness and it certainly affects your health. He resigned at Torquay because he was suffering from depression which seems as though it may have resurfaced you have to feel sorry for anyone with that problem and throwing alcoholism into the mix is unacceptable

Alcoholism is an illness coz it's a disease that has symptoms and is treatable. Just coz it is largely self-inflicted doesn't mean it isn't one. If you don't want to be sympathetic to a sufferer, you don't need to be. Just don't be; it's simple. But there's no reason to change the meanings of words just so you can feel better about it, or pride yourself on not being PC or whatever you think that means. The definition of disease isn't 'something I'm sympathetic to.' And the definition of PC isn't 'something I disagree with.' probably the greatest post ever on this forum. and a few others on the thread are top drawer as well.

He left Torquay due to depression: Anything else is pure speculation bordering on fantasy for a scandal. Had this been the old forum, the thread would have probably been deleted by now.

Had this been the old forum, the thread would have probably been deleted by now. the old OF never used to delete anything and then suddenly shortly before it closed they went mental and decided to start mysteriously deleting random posts / threads, some of which were actually quite useful and informative....

According to that article he left Torquay coz he was sacked for footballing reasons. Yes you're right. Looks like I've fallen into the trap of doing exactly what I criticised others of doing - not checking facts.....at least with respect to that linked article anyway. However, the BBC TV News reported it that way yesterday, and below is a quote from yesterday's BBC Website Article. "He had been in his previous job at Plainmoor for 18 months before stepping away to recover from a stress-related illness in January 2013 and, although he was expected to return to the role, his contract was terminated three months later." i also also recall the statement that their "chairman" Thea Bristow (?) made, and a video link posted and discussed at length on here.

Not sure anybody is actually saying Ling's turned to drink again just "health issues" which could mean anything from just depression to alcoholism or new health problem he's, unfortunately, now developed? he needs 2 weeks holiday in rat park
