EBS1980 Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 Is there anyone else on here that thinks Tisdale would be the wrong choice? He would be a gamble as he's only managed at Conf and L2, and i think if he wasn't an ex saint people wouldn't even be talking about him. In my opinion he would be a gamble along the lines of Sturrock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion he would be a gamble along the lines of Sturrock. We got decent results with an injury hit squad under Sturrock. He got sacked for eating a fried egg sandwich at training. The treacherous Wigley grassed him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're in league 1 plymouth fans are not happy with him what so ever...and he is their most successful manager ever... a bit like us turning on lawrie mac 5 years after he won us the cup...not going to happen us going down does not make sturrock any better...

saint lard Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 yes IF we have money and COULD get a bigger name who can be backed with a decent amount of money if we dont have a pot to **** in, then tisdale would be good My thoughts exactly. I believe the appointment would be greated with "ok it's Tisdale,not bad" With the possible new era on the horizon,and if we have the funds,we really should go for someone who will really create a buzz and get backsides on seats. I would be surprised if Keegan is in the frame,i'd settle for Ince however. Dowie really dosen't inspire me at all. Calderwood did well at Aberdeen.

NickG Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 I heard today from my source that all will be revealed on thursday. no details about who had been chosen for manager would be revealed. i do know dowie, tisdale, cotteril and ince have been spoken too but dont know which it will be. we are getting carried away and could be building up for disappointment! any of those would be interesting, for differing reasons, -apart from Cotterill,does excite me at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 I think Ince would be a good choice, definitely. For one with his determination to be ousted in the way he was at Blackburn, he must be champing at the bit for a new opportunity. It's interesting the comments he recently made too; hopefully, if it is him, he will be given a bit to spend and I imagine he must know Matt from Matt's all too short spell with England, so you never know! That said, I expect to see Dowie crowned as our new boss, if the Pinnacle thing goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserableoldgit Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 Paul Ince would be great. A big name that will put bums on seats . Like Elton John? I think that Elton John does something else with bums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 15 June, 2009 Share Posted 15 June, 2009 Ince's comments "said Ince. "I want to go to a team where I can have the finances to build - I didn't have that at Blackburn." He spent 3.5M on Paul Robinson, 4M on Vince Grella, 1.5M on Keith Andrews, plus Mark Bunn, Robbie Fowler, loan deals for Villanueva, Danny Simpson, and his backroom staff. Easily adds up to over 10M. Do we sound like the club for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we sound like the club for him? Not that I'm suggesting there's anything in the Ince rumours, but the finances required to build in League 1 are not the same as the finances needed to build in the Premier League. If £10M were spent assembling a side next season then my guess is that it would be possible to build a team capable of pushing for at least a play-off place. Outside of Leeds, Norwich and Charlton, which other teams are likely to have those sorts of funds at their disposal? You need to stop thinking Prem/CCC budgets.

Saints foreva Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 Can someone clear it up... We keep getting told we are not in admin etc but do we need a CVA? If we do, we better start getting used to another relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tac-tics Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 Ince - its only the name, seems a tad over rated. Tisdale - In high demand & has done a decent job at Exeter as well as having Saints links, will either be a major succes or floor. Dowie - Uninspiring. Calderwood - ", did'nt do well enough at Forrest. Cotterill - out of the game to long, not exciting enough. Shearer - Similar to Ince but would bring the major optimisim back. Would need to learn to focus on defending too though. So in all its a bit off a bugger, we need a "name" such as Shearer to re ignite the stay aways. Yet we need the experiance, someone who knows how to handle this league as well as have the odd contact, inspiring signing like when Poopey brought in Merson in League 1 (The Championship).

If we do, we better start getting used to another relegation. It has gone eerily quiet on that side of things....it doesn't help that no-one from the Football Club board has uttered a SINGLE word to us (the fans) or indeed the media since the beginning of April. Which is all very odd for a subsidiary company that is running on a 'business as usual' non-Admin basis.... (not sure if I've mentioned this before....)

Carlos Fandango Posted 16 June, 2009 Share Posted 16 June, 2009 matt lives in bournemouth so seems daft to be at the stadium and home I believe it is possible to spend time in more than one place during any given day, who knows he may even own a car to help him get about.

The Farmer Posted 16 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 16 June, 2009 (edited) If you read Gordon Strachan's Biography, he is 'unbelievably' complimentary about Rupert Lowe! No he is not, quite the opposite if you read between the lines. He found Rupert an 'interesting challenge' and his ideas somewhat 'out there' compared to the footballing knowledge and experience possessed by Strachan. In a sort of twisted manner, WGS enjoyed the banter between them, the ex pro and the football novice if you like. He credits Lowe with persisting to try and impose ideas (some Hockey based!!!) against stiff oppostion from all quarters. I think he admired Lowe's spirit and single mindedness, but also hinted that this would be his downfall in the football arena. WGS is an interesting and unique charachter himself and I think he found Rupert equally unique and in that respect found him 'amusing'. He may of complimented Lowe on his supposed business acumen but he is anything but complimentary to him on football issues, more patronising & belittling TBF.
