The new, new manager thread. Thread closed.

Him and Mark Delaney are the only 2 I’m aware of that have been interviewed/spoken to.

Fair enough, thanks. I think Mark Delaney would be an interesting and forward thinking choice.

And here it begins

It's going to happen mate, with a fanbase like ours you are never going to be able to appeal to everyone, probably even if Pep was given the job.

I remember when Wellens was appointed there was a mixture of positive and negative comments, we won't please anyone and if people want to moan about it, that's their outlook.

Opinions and arseholes.

Forgive me for not getting excited and not wanting to be ultra positive about the possibility of Matt Taylor, who’s flopped quite bad already,  becoming our manager.

You are perfectly entitled to, which is what I said. All i'd say is that failure at a different club doesn't necessarily mean it will definitely happen with us. Sam Parkin case in point (aware that's a player, rather than a manager)

[DiV]

You're usually dead keen on bringing back successful former managers who left the club in disappointing circumstances!

Key word being successful

The groundswell for Wellens underwhelms me,personally

I thought that he did well on the comms front when he was here. I also thought he handled coming back incredibly well too. I think he had a lot of luck with loan players, but he showed when Orient came to town this year that he could adapt to situations. He set that team up well to go 1-0 up. After the sending off, he reorganised and snuffed us out completely with 10 men. He went up in my estimations from that game.

I have no issues with him leaving. He didn't do a Sol Campbell. He didn't take us to the cleaners. If I'd been in his position, I think I would have gone too.

If he did come back, I would welcome and get behind him. It wouldn't be the worst appointment in the world. But, I don't think he will, and I don't think we should be looking backwards. We should thank him for the good times and move on.

Wellens is part of the past - both good and bad. We move on!

And with regards to positivity, having a season ticket for the last however many seasons, leaving my money in the club and backing this team on virtually every single away game this season is how I be positive and support, I just standby that I don’t want this guy anywhere near.

Fair RE Parkin, could even say Wellens at Oldham , Doyle at Bradford, etc etc.

[Batch]

Mango, I felt the same way when Wellens was appointed.  I also saw sense in appointing Flitcroft.

No need to apologise for opinions. Surely we are all adult enough to accept that they aren't always right.

Its an emotional business the football club supporting.

…and…me…

Me three.

[Posh Red]

At least garner had one small spell at rovers where he done well

I’m not sure Rovers fans would agree with the “done well” statement 😉

[Outletred]

The Matty Taylor is definitely the one at Exeter

that's really odd then!

must be at a pay rise/more budget at Exeter

[Legends-Lounge]

Out of all the names allegedly linked I would prefer Carrick as hes obviously played at the highest level with club and country and has a good grounding at coaching level too.

He applied at Lincoln and was down to 2 but apparently asked for a fairly large pay packet hence him being overlooked.

And therein lies the nub of who we can expect budget wise. Anyone with grandiose ideas of £5+ per week needn’t apply anyone happy to accept upto a £3k ceiling will be welcomed with open arms and a closed wallet.

So then.
A few on here claim to know who’s been interviewed.
Are we able to ask how you know it’s that Matt taylor.
Are we saying both Matt Taylors have been interviewed?

[cdakev]

Yep it's definately Matt Taylor the Exeter Manager 2/1.
If Mark Delaney has been interviewed he might be worth putting a £1 on as he's 33/1 !
