On current form, Exeter > Swindon.
On current form, Swindon > Sunderland. Does that mean Keane is packing his bags for the move down south? |

Tisdale would be an ace appointment. Can't see it happening though.
Exeter are a tidy little club which have sorted themselves off and on the pitch during their conference stint. Obviously the Man U money helped.
He'd require a fair bit of compensation as I believe he's recently signed a fairly long contract. Could be wrong though.
I only read the first few pages but I didn't think the fans on that board were too bad.

Tisdale did indeed sign a new contract this season. It's just another rumour to add to the long, long list.

I want to start a rumour about the manager after teh next one who appears to be Martin Ling. I reckon Andy Gurney... just taken on WSM...Kingy to be his Director of Football. By this time Fitton and co will have had enough of abuse from the fans, and Mike Diamandis will buy the club for a pound. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/7763091.stm |

if fitton hires either calderwood or ling,i hope it is for their management skills,not just to appease the fan base.the more i think about it, the more the idea concerns me.
i honestly dont think ling is worth paying compo to orient for.

I'm inclined to agree. Plus Ling was a good servant to this club, but he's not up there with Calderwood in the popularity stakes, or am I wrong? It is probably unwise in the long term to bring someone in on the basis of popularity as a player but if they have the experience at management level then I see no problems with Fitton approaching those sort of candidates. Fitton has got everyone in a spin, everyone is clutching at straws, everyones sources whether they are blokes down the pub or people closer to those who should be in the know are being told different things..... Your move Mr. Fitton. |

I hope it had nothing to do with bananas....I think this confirms my theory that Gurney will be our next manager but one. Anyone besides JFW had any Gurney dreams? |

If I were ling or calderwood I wouldn't take the job because if things don't go right, legendary status will be lost. |

Lings not really that much of a legend is he?
Sure he was part of a legendary team made up of some proper legendary players but Ling?! I dunno. He had some right shockers

This is what I'm thinking. Good servant but I can't remember ever hearing or reading anyone regarding Ling as a legend. Perhaps I'm being harsh. |

No, he is not a 'legend'. He did a sterling job for us, make no mistake, but not sterling enough to be worthy of legendary status. The word Legend is horribly over used these days but I guess that Calderwood is probably worthy of that epithet. I am sure that Fitton has far more about him though, than to appoint a manager purely on any perceived 'legendary' status which the applicant may hold. In fact, I know he has. |
