I have no problem with you citing Wilder, it's just that he has had a decent budget for League 2 for the past few seasons and they appear to have stagnated.

You appear to be advocating more than one season of mind numbing mediocrity

Yes. They've yo-yo'd in League 2. Drifting around mid-table in 2010/11, missing out on the Play-Offs in 2011/12 and seemingly very poor last season. This campaign could be make or break for Oxford and they've been supported well enough but other clubs have been down there with bigger budgets (Bradford, Swindon, Rotherham, Crawley) and have eclipsed what they've got and acheived.

Either way, my primary point is not about Oxford United, it's about bringing in somebody who knows the job/challenge and will be willing to stay for the long-haul.

Would a Tisdale be allowed to bring in a team?

Yeah....Spurs under 17's

I see Gordon Greer has made the Sweatie squad for the forthcoming friendly v England....Caddis must be shite as he's not there, and they've even got a player with no club atm.

Another manager who has looked under the guidance of somebody else.

He's probably enjoying his cushy gig at Norwich far too much to trouble himself with the trials and tribulations of lower league football!

Although Tisdale may appeal to some of us, why would stfc appeal to him?
Can't see it happening myself.

- Stagnating at Exeter (take them as far as he can?)
- No other offers, his stock has gone down since relegation.
- Larger club, with a larger wage bill in a league he has worked in before.
- Working under severe financial constraints at Exeter.. Probably worse than here.
- Lived in the Swindon/surrounding area before.

There are all sorts of reasons why STFC might appeal to him, factors pushing him away from Exeter and those pulling him toward Swindon.. Pretty sure I even saw an article a few weeks back with him saying that he could only sign one player at Exeter this summer..

Because Swindon on a sustainable budget, in league one, with crowds of 7500 - 8000, gives him more scope than Exeter on a sustainable budget, in league two, with crowds of less than 4000.

Irrelevant I think as the board will appoint Cooper or someone linked to Tottenham, I'd love Tisdale here but I very much doubt he will be our new manager.

Personally I don't think it's irrelevant to discuss a potential manager who has reportedly gone as far as to meet the current board.

If it's Mark Cooper then it's the cheap option and if it's currently employed member of Tottenham's coaching staff then maybe our relationship is a little more than an arrangement (ie a possible yet odd attempt at being Spurs B). Time will tell... I just hope time can hurry up so we can make our peace with the appointment and move on.

Tisdale makes a lot of sense to me, for a number of reasons.

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

Only read this last page and everyone's going on about Tisdale?

Have we been linked with him?

I'll give Herthab a rusty trombone if that happens. Absolutely no chance.

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