ottery st mary Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Sign him for the forum teams...get rid of Phil and nick and then loan Paul to SFC..Easy No offence Phil and nick...If we get Paul Tisdale..we will pay youe Xs back to Dubai and in your case Millbrook, nick. If we don't get a buyer and go bust..you two guys can be joint Managers of the Reformed Saints until we get out of Southampton junior league 7.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Picking the right Manager is certainly a tough call and one that is hardly an exact sceince. Players that tick all the boxes (David Platt/Bobby Moore/Bryan Robson) ,who you believe have everything required go on to become failures. Whilst Mangers who do well at Clubs, completely mess up when moving to another (Lawrie Mac/Mike Walker/Paul Ince). Being sacked at a previous job,should be no bar to getting the Saints job (WGS). Personally, although Tisdale looks to have promise and tick a lot of the boxes, I would urge caution at this stage of his career. -10 (possible more) next year is going to be tough and expections will proberly be too high. I would like someone whose been around the block once or twice, is used to League 1/CCC, to steady the ship for 2 or 3 years.Ronnie Moore/Cotterill would be my choice, whilst keeping an eye on Tisdale's progress. There is plenty of time for him to manage Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 So Tisdale would look to leave Exeter and join Saints, who will start next season at least 10 points above us, in all probability. Of course he won't. Some sense of perspective is needed here. Tisdale is a decent shout, but it won't happen. Grayson dropped down a league to manage Leeds. Size and real ambition of a club counts for a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he won't. Some sense of perspective is needed here. Tisdale is a decent shout, but it won't happen. I'm also not absolutely sure that he is the right man to turn round a team that is on a downward spiral, he is the sort that builds slowly, improving teams gradually, and is very successful doing just that. What can't believe what you written in your first paragraph! Look at the resources between the 2 (If we get a buyer!) and tell me there is not a massive gap in potential and that Saints will be a step down. This is one of the stupidist comments I have read on this forum. If he was offered and turned it down it would be because he is loyal to Exeter or believe a bigger opportunity will come along, like Championship club capable of promotion to the premiership.

exeter_saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Seen a lot of the Grecians over the last couple of years and yes Tisdale would be a great shout! Tidy, direct attacking football on the deck, relatively solid at the back with a good blend of youth and experience. Some Exeter fans seem to get on his back a lot when things arent going perfectly their way during the game, which could be to do with the apparent lack of emotion he displays on the touchline, but this just highlights his calm and measured approach to management. Definately a better shout than poortvliet/Wotte in any case. On the other hand i dont want to see exeter slide back down after losing him....

Their natural level is fourth tier. They have a 8,000 stadium in a footballing backwater. Tisdale would take the Saints job like a shot. it's a job ten times bigger than the Exeter job even if we had a thirty point deduction and Exeter started the league season with ten bonus points. And I am not some "head in the clouds" dreamer. It's simple size and scope of the respective clubs. Anyone who takes over at Saints whoever they are will be taking over a Premier League standard club with facilities putting us in the top 30 in the country. And whoever takes over will think they can get us in the Premier League. Being honest you haven't a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly, the only way that any manager will do that is by getting results first and foremost, and hopefully playing some decent football along the way. I really do not care who is our manager, barring a few personal exceptions. I have an idea of the kind of manager that I think would be ideal, and Tisdale is in that mould. Who would describe Nigel Pearson as 'an exciting manager who will put bums on seats'? I don't think any of us did when we first appointed him, but he did the job required, and has gone even further this season with Leicester. Doing THAT will put bums on seats. A 'name' means little or nothing, unless it's backed up with ability, and that goes for players and managers, and while we're at it, owners too.

VectisSaint Posted 29 May, 2009 Share Posted 29 May, 2009 How can you call Bryan Robson a failure then say you want Cotterill? Don't get me wrong, I don't rate Robson at all, but he's kept clubs up and got clubs promoted. He's taken them down and been sacked too, but cotterill has also been sacked and achieved far less. No being sacked shouldn't rule anyone out necessarily, but I really don't want one of the frequently sacked candidates. There are a lot of **** managers out there, so I'd far rather have someone younger and eager to develop/improve. If it's someone with a link to saints then even better. Robson only ever got Middlesbro promoted (so not clubs) and once he kept a club up on the last day of the season, thanks to Pompey and at our expense. An abject failure, time and again apart from the time he was bankrolled at Boro. Cotterill has been promoted in 2 different divisions on a shoestring budget, and has never been sacked as a manager. He left Burnley by mutual consent with the club in a good position in the Championship. He lives fairly locally and is just the sort of manager we could do with. Much as I like Tisdale, the chances of him leaving Exeter to join a team below them in the league is about as likely as me playing CF for Saints. He is also not the type of manager we really need, he is a slow (good) cautious builder of teams, whereas what we need is someone who can give promotion a go at the first attempt, even with a 10 point deduction.

Under Weststand Posted 29 May, 2009 Share Posted 29 May, 2009 (edited) Tisdale has done an excellent job at Exeter & would be a good choice, I'd also be happy with Ince as he is proven at this level. I would also like to throw into the discussion another who has blossomed over 3 years at Stockport County, Jim Gannon took over with them staring conference football in the face at Christmas kept them up broke the all time league record at the time of 9 wins on the trot without conceding a goal & then got them promoted in the play offs last year. He has a the right philosophy as how football should be played & built a really good squad over those 3 years at County before he had to start selling his best players due to finance. He promoted a footballing style of play throughout the club (with some success) from a sound platform of a strong defence to quick mobile forward line. Given time I see know reason why he couldn't do it again for us. But as I say would be happy to see any of the above mentioned, just thought I'd throw another name in as not many on here may know to much about him.
