New Poll - Who do you want?

[Sothall_Blade]

I voted Robins - Wouldn't complain at him, Wilson or Reid though. We're a lower league club and should set our expectations as such. We tend not to have much joy with rookie managers and the aforementioned three all have decent experience. I would be gutted if Pemberton, Wilder, Slade or any other unknown got the job as I definitely think we need somebody who has enough experience and some contacts in the game. I still don't know who Hill is other than what's been said on Radio Sheff as he's been strongly linked with Barnsley. Who is this Tisdale people keep mentioning? I've asked this on another thread but got completely ignored, which is nothing new.

"Paul Tisdale is the high-achieving manager of Exeter City. He has established himself as a rising star of his new trade in rekindling football ambitions. Tisdale's first three seasons at Exeter transformed a club that had fallen out of the Football League. He inspired two successive promotions to lift City from the Blue Square Premier division to League One. The Grecians had noted his early progress as coach of university side Team Bath before making what turned out to be an astute appointment.

Paul, who joined Bath in 2000 after his playing days were prematurely ended by injury at 27, led the side to four promotions. He also took Bath to the first round proper of the FA Cup in 2002 as the first university team to enter the competition since 1881. Exeter, too, made meteoric progress under Tisdale's tutelage. They reached the Conference play-off final in his first season - 2006-07 - before being pipped for promotion by Morecambe. Despite selling players to the value of more than £250,000 - including top scorer Jamie Mackie, who left for Plymouth - Tisdale continued to find recruits to fit a neat, passing style. Exeter returned to Wembley in 2008, this time winning their play-off showdown with Cambridge.

As one of only four promotion-winning managers in Exeter's history, Tisdale attempted to repeat the success in League Two and guided them to second place with a final-day win at Rotherham. More success followed for Tisdale and Exeter as he secured their League One status in 2009/10. Up to December, 2008, Exeter compiled a club record run of 125 matches without back-to-back defeats (all but five of those under Tisdale). Malta-born Paul was a midfield product of Southampton's youth system before embarking on a career that included spells in Finland and Greece. He was also played with Yeovil and Bristol City, from where he had a first taste of life with Exeter on loan."

The problem is Latters that if we wait until a successful manager is well known, by that time they're with a higher-placed club and out of our reach (e.g. Coyle, Lambert, Adkins).

Paul Tidsdale is currently manager at Exeter. Took over when they were in the conference and this season they just missed the play-offs in division 1. Formally manager at Bath where I believe he also gained promotion. Reputation as a forward thinking new-breed manager; sports science utliser etc.

Tisdale is at Exeter who finished just below the playoffs. Apparently good football and obviously on shoe string budget

Thank you both.

Sounds like he's OK in the very low leagues and I like the sound of his teams playing nice football. I just think it's a big gamble (which is pretty much all we'll get at the level we found ourselves) to take when this appointment could really make or break our club's future.

Whilst Reid, Wilson and Robins aren't exactly exciting up and coming prospects, they have the knowledge and contacts in the game to steady our ship. I'm not expecting a massive impact from the new manager with us setting the league alight, I just want somebody to arrest the slide and give us a sound footing to start our arduous climb to the top!

 

[Zlatan]

As RDM is a non-starter - Keith Hill, Paul Tisdale or Karl Robinson.

Thank you also for the info.

Whilst I don't disagree with you, I just think it's a huge gamble to take somebody that's untried at a club bigger than say Exeter or Rochdale and hope they will mould our club for the future.

You voted for Robins and he's also untried at any club bigger than Barnsley.
Unlike Hill and Tisdale he's no recent (or past) experience of League One and has never got a team promoted at any level.
Tisdale has been a manager for 11 years compared with only 4 years for Robins and Hill.
I would say that appointing Robins would be a bigger gamble.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

None of the above.....

Can I vote for him as well?

Utter madness taking Pembo away from his position and the rest are shit options.

Lambert left Colchester for Norwich
Adams had experience of managing at a big club before us
Speed had no experience at all.

There isn't a hard and fast rule for picking a manager, but one who plays attactive football to the same style as the youth team is the remit. To me biggest thing is that they must have recent success; Danny Wilson's is known for what he did 14 years ago.

For that reason I want

RDM
Tisdale
Hill

You might say that Hill and Tisdale haven't won much but I would consider what they have done at clubs like Rochdale and Exeter as just that.

Outside these I would prefer us to build a team round Pemberton with the likes of Hart and that mc fella that is now youth team manager at Forest.

Robins I am just meh about, I wouldn't complain too much about. Has more of a chance than the rest imo

 

[BladeHearts]

In the case of Lambert Norwich is his 4th managerial job.

He'd managed (badly) in the SPL with Livingston and then was at Wycombe before going to Colchester. He also had the experience of captaining Celtic and winning the Champions League as a player with Borussia Dortmund so was never likely to be overawed at taking the Carrow Road hotseat.

I believe that if we are truly committed to changing the style of play, we need a manager who is committed to that style of play, not one who pays lip service and then goes long ball at the first sign of difficulty.

The managerial appointment is all about building a footballing structure that will succeed year-in year-out, rather than a short-sighted quick win.

The hard work in building the Academy has been done, we now need a steady hand on the tiller to bring everything to fruition - a strong argument for Pembo in my opinion.

 

[bladesadviser]

RDM
Tisdale
Hill
Anyone else will be a bit of a let down especially Robins

I think just the opposite. If we steady the ship, as you say, then all we're doing is continuing the trend of the post Robson managers where experience (Speed excepted) and the tried and tested approach were paramount. We need radical change and so I think it's a perfect time to take a punt. If we're not going to get RDM, Tisdale would do it for me.

 

[beechblade]

None of them, I'd rather have RDM, then Hughton, and if none of them Hill or Tisdale. 4 out of the 6 aren't any better than we have just had, both Wilder or Pembo I'd prefer over the rest but not enough to get me excited about next season. In fact the more I think about it the less excited I get by the day.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Clark? No thanks. Horrible, annoying man.

 

[BladeFisher]

Another option Walter Smith

 

[BladeHearts]

Another option Walter Smith

Have we suddenly discovered a magic money pot which gives us ten times the budget of any of our rivals bar one, plus a raft of compliant refs to ply us with penalties when required.

If the answer to the above is no, I would suggest hes not the man for us

 

[lingsbord]

Another option Walter Smith

Great shout, even though we haven't a prayer. Rumblings have started about Paul Ince...........

 

[Kenilworth]

Where's the Monkey?

The PG Tips one not Reidy

 

[broomhillblade]

Can I vote for him as well?

Utter madness taking Pembo away from his position and the rest are shit options.

Surely the issue is whether Pembo wants the Manager's job.

If he does, and is not appointed, another club will come along and poach him from us. Then we would lose him completely.

 

[SwissBlade]

None of the above

 

[Torrix1889]

If Mccabe thinks so highly of Pembo I cant see him making an appointment without consulting him first.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Surely the issue is whether Pembo wants the Manager's job.

If he does, and is not appointed, another club will come along and poach him from us. Then we would lose him completely.

I think more applicably, the issue is whether Pembo wants A job as a manager. He may see his niche as working in the academy and not consider any management job. If he does want the management opportunity he has to be considered, if he doesn't and he is thought by the club to be the best around for the academy, then he has to have a big say in the management appointment to back up McCabes statement about integration of playing style etc. and that might help to ensure he isn't poached for another academy. If he is appointed manager he must also be allowed to appoint his replacement.

 

[bladesman3]

defo not Reid,defo not wilson, dont like Robins,Slade does not excite and Wilder not who we need right now..Pembo best on list but dont want him to manager 1st team yet..so = No vote

 

[super_pig]

if pembo wants it then you have to give it to him IMO.. what else more can he do to earn the job?.. i'd be more worried about him being poached by another club now that he is on everyone's radar.. considering what he has done with the youth set up he deserves it

 

[Paqamaq]

Yeah, leave Pembo where he is for now (improved terms for his next contract obviously)... he's doing a fantastic job. Hill would be my pick, but Tisdale looks a pick and a half too. I would be extremely happy with either.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

RDM
Tisdale
Hill
Anyone else will be a bit of a let down especially Robins

They are my three but RDM won't come and the other two don't seem to be on the radar.
Then when it goes tits up McC will have to spent even more money and we will all look back with hindsight thinking "the wedge hes just spend on managers could have paid for RDM, look what he's acheived at ......................"

 

[DP8789]

they are all average appointments tbh, i would probably go for wilder if i had too, i cant stand robins, he's meant to be an utter arse and very much disliked by his peers.

pembo doesnt want it from what ive been told by and itk'er and mcknob head wants him to stay doing what he is with kiddlywinks. Wilson is a snortbeast and has just got swindon relegated (enough said on him) and reid needs to give it up, another old style manager who has amounted to nothing.

id like SOD or RDM but cant see it happening so my realistic choice would be Tisdale, he's done a cracking job at exeter and while they did conceed alot last year, they scored shit loads - something we really need to do to get straight out of the 3rd tier.

UTB

 

[davidpinder]

Bookies seem to think it it will be robins or wilson, i don't really want either. What do people think to Steve McClaren? I would like to see someone with experience tbh but each list i see there isn't much on there.
