Tisdale is comfortable at Exeter though. Why risk that and come here? There isn't evidence of a budget here yet. It looks like a similar job to the obe he has but with more of a gamble on his part. We had a manager remember who walked out. For anyone in a jobi think we are currently a risky proposition

I think you are letting logic get in the way again.  Footballer and Managers all jump ship and join basket case clubs because they don't really pay that much attention.

As for Tisdale, there was an interview with him and he didn't rule out a move, he said something along the lines of he has a great job right now so if he moved it would need to be a good move for him.  He also mentioned Swindon keep getting linked because it is close to him.

I think that Tisdale has gone done as much as he can with Exeter, possibly. Over the years he's turned down jobs much more attractive than the current STFC set up. But timing blah blah blah.

I'd have like to see him under fitton in a wonderful open magic land of transparrent football runnings. But it obviously wasn't to be.

Think we might be too late for this party.

I'm glad you added possibly....Tisdale if he has anything about him should be looking to emulate someone like Guy Roux at Auxerre, who managed 44 years as boss having previously played for them for 9 years. Roux got them from non league to European football...his palmares include winning the Inter-Toto Cup....oh and discovering Eric Cantona.

Maybe Tisdale isn't that great...I know this may come as a shock to you.

I think we should go for one of Newell's old boys....Gerardo Martino

According to Morshead he has met with the board at least twice.

I think it was after the second meeting they decided they didn't want his company in Portugal...disappointingly for a journo, can't handle his drink.

IF Power is indeed pulling the strings and acting as a DoF then I see a coach and nothing more coming in
Cooper fits that bill esp as already here and the cheapest option

Not something I would be happy with but the board has got to act quick. 2 weeks to go and an unfinished team half of which are left behind on a team "bonding" exercise abroad.

Am pretty sure those that didnt go are hardly going to be happy with the situation knowing they dont figure in future plans, can understand the injured players staying but not going to make for a harmonious squad.

Surely if it was Cooper they would have appointed him ASAP.

If it is Cooper then that smacks of last resort to me.

Why, he's doing the job and being paid asst manager wages...string it out a bit longer and make a saving.

Well the Board know Cooper is desperate, so they could call him Interim Manager and pay him less than Asst Manager....while Power does the job. Sorted innit.

To be honest giving it to Cooper may not be a bad thing.
He knows the players well now and who knows may prove a lot of his doubters wrong.
His past record is not brilliant,but then we are in no position to go for managers with good records.

Maybe we should give Cooper the job....just like that.

Just looking at some stats at these are the average time (in seasons) for a manager:

Barclays Premier League  1.76  
npower Championship  1.06  
npower League One  1.45  
npower League Two  1.71

Shockingly low really given these are the average.

Added the Swindon stats:

Longest Serving Manager

Sam Allen - 31 years
1902 - 1933
 
Total Number Of Managers
 
Since Inception  33  
This Season  1  
Previous 5 Seasons  5  
Previous 10 Season  9  
 
Avg Duration Of Managers
 
Overall  3.16  
Since Premier League  1.27  
Previous 5 Seasons  1.05  
Previous 10 Seasons  1.23
