NickG Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Due to popular demand on another thread (well 2 others!) I feel Paul Tisdale is just the sort of bloke to give us a fresh start; articulate, listen to post match in http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/exeter_city/7976044.stm product of our youth system only 36. learnt management trade in non-league with Bath - 4 promotions in 5 seasons his side plays attractive football losing in play off final in first season at Exeter won plays off in 2nd season - despite having to sell many players in play off position in his 3rd season definately on the way up, no failure/sacking baggage like most managers on of sky sports top ten football league managers (list before much of this good season) http://www.skysports.com/interactive/top_tens_story/0,25722,15881_4214437,00.html not big name to attact big players but thats not where we are. A young, fresh, modern manager for us to unite behind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 +1. He'd be one of my first choices, if not the first. His record albeit with lower league teams speak for itself, ex Saints player too. As i posted on the manager rumour thread, even if he gets Exeter promoted I'd be willing to bet that he'd take the Saints job if offered it. As was posted the other day, with all due respect to Exeter, a Southampton with new owners/money in league 1 are a better & bigger prospect than Exeter in the same league. I think the majority of fans would back his appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 I know I've said this before, but I was impressed when I watched Exeter recently. Very tight, on the floor style of football and a well motivated team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Exactly the kind of manager I would support 100%, having learnt his trade in lower leagues, and having shown what he can do in terms of coaching and improving an existing squad rather than buying success. For all these reasons, I'm afraid to say that my cynical side (yes, I do have one) tells me he won't be coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Gets my vote. Worry is though that 'new owners' may bring baggage of their own and not search wide enough for the perfect manager.Prime example if Souness is involved I fear Dean Saunders. Tisdale though looks the ideal candidate.I noted he was at the Eastleigh match for David Hughes so maybe Lawrie has discussed hypothetical vacancies with him.

Crab Lungs Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Yes, been saying it for fackin' ages. Him or Paul Simpson would be fine in L1, L2, Champ, whatever... probably the Prem too, given the resources. ******s with big reputations like Paul Ince won't. They just don't have it.

Sheff Saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Tisdale, Magilton. Both i think would get bags of support and hopefully some time.

Evil Monkey Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Definitley the sort of man we should be looking at. Having a manager with a bit of passion will hopefully have a good effect on the players' attitude. They need to know promotion will be no cake walk.

VectisSaint 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. 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.

NickG Posted 29 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 29 April, 2009 why wouldn't he? lots have managers have moved to a team that on league position wasn't a step forward but was a longer term career step, if he is confident in his ability, wants to be seen managing at a bigger named club with fan base, stadium, media coverage, training facilities that come with it, signing a 4 year contract knowing you are 3 wins and a draw behind isn't big issue.

moonraker Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Due to popular demand on another thread (well 2 others!) learnt management trade in non-league with Bath - 4 promotions in 5 seasons Just a point of clarity he won the promotions, as coach, with TEAM Bath (Not Bath City). Team Bath are/were the university based team and will due to non league rules have be een disbanded this season. He is a good call Team Bath were built on picking up young players who just failed to make the grade in the professional ranks and were offered a combined sports and degree place at Bath. Saturday 25th April - Team Bath bowed out of football history today with their last Blue Square Conference South match after a ten year period described by manager, Ged Roddy, as “an incredible journey”. “I wouldn’t have missed any of it”, said Roddy. “There have been some incredible high points, including our moment of making FA Cup history as the first University side in 122 years to reach the first round proper of the FA Cup back in 2002?. “Literally hundreds of lads have pulled on the blue and gold shirt in those years and played with pride. I would like to thank each and every one of you”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 29 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 29 April, 2009 accept that, more making point that got his hands dirty at a low level but even there didn't experience failure.

Of course Tisdale would jump at the chace to come to Saints. Even with a 10 point deduction we are a huge step up from Exeter. Realistically they aren't going to go much higher than mid table league 1 at the very best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 I agree 110% there mate and think you have hit the nail on the head with the suggestion of a young and talented manager who has saints in his heart.

WestSaint Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 It is one hell of a challenge and he would need support. It is not just a case of being on minus 10 but the fact that he will probably been needing to put together and gel an almost new team as so many of our players will be off.

*Halo* Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Paul is my preference too. I've watched his Exeter side on three occasions this season when visiting family down that way, and was impressed by the way his team play. A short, sharp passing game, which unlike many teams who employ a slower tempo for this style, Exeter move the ball around quickly and look to get players forward into attacking positions. The fitness levels of Tisdale's team were also impressive, and they work very hard for each other 'off the ball' to create space. All very much the kind of things and style I want to see at Southampton. I was also impressed with his ability to alter his formation and tactics when needed in order to change a game. It would be refreshing to have a manager who has a well drilled 'plan b' (and even a plan c) at his command, in charge at Southampton. Taking into account his successive promotions with Team Bath, and what looks like possibly becoming two in a row now with Exeter, Paul's stock is definitely on the rise. A very good young 'English' manager (although technically, he was born in Malta ) , who comes across as positive, well spoken and honest in his dealings with the media. I would definitely like to see Paul Tisdale as our new manager. I feel it would be a very positive and forward looking appointment. Hopefully he would be the kind to stick around for the long term too, and provide us with the seemingly elusive managerial stability we've been seeking for so long.

SaintDonkey Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 I'd like to see Tisdale as manager next season and if we can get proper long term financial backing I think he would come. However I'm worried that from what we've seen of the potential investors we're going to end up with chancers without funds to do more than keep us above water for a season or two at the most.
