bert tann Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 2 hours ago, Numero Uno said: When you read the statement and see what the bloke has introduced into the club (basic stuff such as recruitment, nutrition, medical, analysis etc.) it shows what an absolute shower that club was only a year ago......yet the Fewers lap it up as progress rather than questioning why it wasn’t there and had to be “introduced” in the first place. Off the field it seems they hadn’t left the National League. But Mr Al-Quidi took the credit for doing all those things a few months after he rode into town ? We are either following American election practises and counting things twice or we have signed up to the green new deal and every few years will be recycling our list of groundbreaking achievements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What..... Tisdale as their manager?

Robbored Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I reckon Tisdale will do a decent job for them. He’s got a decent lower league cv and sounds as if he wants to play attacking football - that’ll be a surprise for the gasheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.G.Red Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Despite all the jokes I think this is a good appointment. Thought his interview with GT tonight was quite refreshing 1 hour ago, Harry said: I know we ought to be taking the piss on this thread, but I actually think that ‘could’ be a very good appointment. People look at Tisdale’s record but don’t look at the limitations under which he was working. At Exeter, there was a specific requirement to keep the club sustainable through the sale of their best young players. It’s a brave manager who plays 16 and 17 year olds, regularly, in the knowledge that by exposing them to first team experience, as well as ‘shop-windowing’ them, is in the best interests of the club versus ‘getting a result’. Playing the likes of Grimes, Watkins, Ampadu etc over the years, and having little budget to buy players of relevant experience and quality to complement them, was a tricky balance, but one which was necessary for the club to survive. People will argue that the academy at Exeter was all Perryman’s work, but you have to have a 1st team manager who buys into it and gives the players the exposure. Sticking 16 year old into your team, no matter how talented they are, is always going to mean a mixed set of results. So, there’s 2 things that the blue few need to get into their skulls re Tis. 1) He’s not a shouter, a ranter and raver, and he won’t give them any ‘anti-city’ sound bites and sing ‘Irene’ down Glos Road. He doesn’t necessarily fit the personality that the gas fans seem to take to their hearts. If they can handle a non-partisan thinker, then they’ll reap the rewards. 2) He will have a long term plan. He’s not a short term manager. This means he may not get instant results but he’ll be doing what he thinks is right for the future sustainability of the club. He’ll give youth players a chance, knowing they can potentially be an ‘asset’ for the club. He’ll want the right culture, etc. It’s actually a bit of a SOD comparison when he was here. There’s lots of important stuff being done behind the scenes to get the club in a good position for the future, but there’s little budget and results might not be great initially. If the fewers give Tis time, I think he’ll do well. Problem is, on both counts above, it’s not the Rovers fans ‘dna’ to be patient, particularly with a bloke who won’t get involved in their partisan ‘we’re the best supporters in the world and **** city’ attitude. I agree all joking aside this is a good appointment for the gas. Listening to his interview with Geoff Twentyman he sounds quite measured both in respect of the back room staff and the players. Think he will do well, if he gets given the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to Paul’s appointment we were delighted that Tommy (100%) Widdrington agreed to take caretaker charge of the team. It was felt at the time that Tommy’s knowledge of the squad and experience was perfectly suited to take the reins until the right candidate was appointed. He leaves the management hot seat after the win over Chelsea (for which he has been fined!) and remains an integral part of the club. Tommy will assist Paul in his initial transition into the role and continue to oversee the football department at the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
