Ex-Addick appointed Exeter boss.

TalBHAndreBA

Matt Taylor appointed new Grecians boss. He did a decent job for us. Was perhaps unlucky to be dropped, once Powell got Leon Cort in. Best of luck to Matt.

Indeed

Swisdom

Really nice chap. He said he knew he was fairly limited as a player but also knew he could work harder than his peers and therefore made it as a pro.

Wish him all the best and I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Exeter so will follow him with interest

Fanny Fanackapan

Good luck to him.

He sat at the end of our row at one of the Huddersfield games a few seasons back and was happy to be recognised & chat.

Nice guy.

Scoham

Very good in the title winning season. Never really noticed him because he was so reliable.

Davo55

Really pleased for him and hope he does well with Exeter.

His partnership with Morrison in the early stages of the season was the best Centre-Back pairing we'd had since been in the Premier League (Rufus | Fish?)

Yes Leon Cort gave us the experience to get through the season and so win the League yet that wouldnt have happened had Taylor | Morrison not clicked

Ditto. - -- guess he owes Notts County one.Good luck mate.

Really liked Matt, can only really remember him having one poor game for us.

Good luck to him.

Love the reaction from the Exeter fans on twitter...

They seem rather annoyed at the appointment yet think the Board have got the appointment spot on... they need someone to steady the ship and avoid the club from nose diving - What better than to get someone into the club who understands Exeter City and what they're about; had we hired an ex-Addick who'd played under Curbishley when he left then I reckon we may have fared better

Good appointment, felt he was one of the unsung heroes of that promotion season. Great pro.

Can we have the fella with the cravat as our boss

Richard J

Liked him in League One. Maybe not a Championship player at 30 plus.

Good luck Matt.

What’s happened there? Does he finally fancy a change of scenery?

cafc_harry

Good luck to him, him and Morrison were as solid as you can wish for at this level.

killerandflash

Good luck Matt

A massive challenge though, following someone who's been there for 12 years is a tough job, especially at a club with restricted budgets

Carter

How come Tisdale has gone? Apart from being very well turned out he was a very decent manager

covered_end_junior

Apparently Exeter would have sacked him (Tisdale) fairly early into the season but couldn’t afford to pay him off. So he stayed on, ended up getting them in the play offs but now MK Dons want him.

buckshee

Sat on his table at the sponsors dinner the promotion year, lovely fella.

Good luck to him.

thickandthin63

Best of luck,I though he was unlucky to be made the scapegoat after we lost at home Notts County being 4 down at half time

The Red Robin

Good luck to him. Inheriting a good side.

Weegie Addick

Hope he does well. Decent bloke.

Karim_myBagheri

thought he was good with Morrison but Cort was the better defender. anyway never mind all that, good luck Matt, hope you do well.

also the Exeter fans should be pleased and supportive of him as I guess he's a hero of theirs.

He was issued his notice two years ago, think it pissed him off so when Contract negotiations came round he told them to stick it

PragueAddick

I remember hearing about the pre season friendly with the Spanners which we unluckily lost 4-3 and at the end he was furious with the ref about something. I thought, hello we've got people who want to win here, this season could be interesting. And it was. Good luck, Matt

North Lower Neil

This sort of explains what happened with Paul Tisdale:

Hope he does well---played a big part in our promotion.

Huskaris

Always liked him, and Exeter is a good job for any new manager. He made over half of his career apps there too...

Part of the last cohort that I was proud of.

Good luck

Congrats to Matt for beating Carlisle 3-1 today in what was his first competitive game as Manager

Lincsaddick

remember we signed Matt from Exeter .. a typically shrewd Powell signing
