Paul Tisdale (1 Viewer)

My number one choice.

No thanks, need a big name

Didn't he get Exeter relegated last season?

Completely agree, won 3 out of 4 games this season. Has been a manager for 10 years. Knows the lower leagues. Sign him up!

He has only ever paid money for 1 player, and had to sell key players.

Wouldn't have a problem with his appointment. Think he'd do quite a good job.

Wise.. End off

Exeter City

Tisdale's neat footballing style was warmly welcomed at St James Park, with his side's patient approach and desire to pass the ball in all areas of the pitch catching the eye amid the rough and tumble of the Conference.


In his first season at Exeter, Tisdale led The Grecians to their first appearance in the end-of-season playoffs, where they played Oxford United in the Semi-final. They lost the first leg at St James Park 1–0; however, they still managed to go through to the play-off final after a 2–1 victory at Oxford. This resulted in a 4–3 win on penalties, where they met Morecambe at Wembley on the 20th May 2007 in the fianl in front of 40,000 fans. However, a late goal from Danny Carlton meant that Morecambe won 2–1.[1]




In Tisdale's second summer at Exeter, his City side continued to play smart, tidy football and held their nerve in a tense climax to the season to qualify for the play-offs with a game to spare.


Similarly to the previous year, Exeter lost the home leg 2-1, yet won away 4-1 with 3 goals in the last 20 minutes for Exeter– this time against Torquay United – to seal a return to Wembley. Tisdale led the side out at Wembleybefore his side claimed a 1–0 win against Cambridge United on 18 May 2008.[1] He is one of only four managers to lead The Grecians to promotion.



In naming Tisdale among the League's top ten managers, SkySports.com wrote in October 2008: "Tisdale is renowned for ensuring his sides play short, tidy football."[1]


In December 2008, Exeter City extended their record of league (including Conference) games without back to back defeats to 125 matches, including the first 120 under Tisdale's management. This shattered the club's previous record of 53 league games without consecutive defeats. Defeats against Brentford in the last game of 2008 and at Notts County in the first of 2009 ended the run.


Tisdale cemented his place as one of Exeter City's most successful managers ever by guiding the club to second place in League 2 during their first season back in the Football League in 5 years, in doing so becoming the first Exeter City manager to win successive promotions.


On their return to football in League 1, Exeter secured safety on the final day of the season with a 2–1 win over Huddersfield, securing 18th place in the league. The winning goal coming from Ryan Harley8 minutes from time in front of a packed St James' Park. For Tisdale to secure League 1 status for the club was remarkable given the comparative differences in playing budget between themselves and other teams in the league such as Leeds United, Norwich City and Southampton.


Even more remarkable is the fact that on top of previous player sales, Tisdale also recouped notable sums by selling Dean Moxey to Derby County and Danny Seaborne to Southampton. He has paid a transfer fee for just one player, Troy Archibald-Henville, £50,000 from Tottenham Hotspur in 2010.


In the 2010–11 season, he guided the club to 8th in the league, equaling the clubs best ever finish. Tisdale came on as a sub against Sheffield Wednesday on the last day of the season; the first time for the club since becoming manager, and the first time as a player for more than a decade, since his Yeovil Town days. The club confirmed his retirement as a player on 23 May 2011.[5]

Asked on another thread but got no answer, what style of football would Wise play? Do we have players suitable? Are people only favouring him due to his time here?

Chris wilder odds have dropped to 8/1 now

Surely any good manager would have a style of play to suit the players?

I voted for him in the poll.

I doubt many want him to go since they have their last 3 games!

From the Exeter thread:

"Saturday was just like watching any game last season. Narrow, no width, no movement/creativity, same people making **** ups at the back, carp subs that doesn't change the tempo/shape of the team. We're at home against one of the favourites to go down (according to the bookies) and we play two deep centre midfielders and a left back that didn't/wasn't allowed to go past the half way line.""


Sounds familiar

Has wise ever managed newcastle?

Yep, very true.

Tisdale was my first choice, but I would be more than happy with Wise.

These players need a rocket and Dennis is a man who can certainly provide that. AT too cushy witht he players, AB too harsh, Coleman and Dowie too pally pally too.

Wise will be mate to them but would certainly give them a right earful too.

I don't know, for example people are dismissing Blackwell for his style of play which apparently wouldn't suit the players.

I just want to see good attacking football. High tempo and entertaining. I actually don't care who the manager is that supplies it.
