Congratulations to our former centre-back Matt Taylor for being appointed manager of Exeter at 36, one of the youngest in the EFL.
(This happened a fortnight ago, so apologies if someone has already mentioned it.)

Worked with Ged Roddy.
Just saying6 -
could actually see this.0

If Irving's the first to call this correctly I'll be so miffed, but he'd be a good appointment1
-
This is a good shout . Roddy will obviously have a big say in who gets the job .0

Exeter have been decent but unexceptional this season, his managerial "halo" has slightly slipped perhapsHenry Irving said:Worked with Ged Roddy.

They have the second-best GD in League Two. That, more than points and position, is what sells this for me1
-
they have some excellent striking options and should really be clear at the top. He is a young manager learning his trade I’m doing a decent job of it. Give him a bit more time there3

Would be an excellent shout. Interesting re Henry Irving's comment.0

Wouldn't be upset with Taylor, however he hasn't managed a promotion for Exeter as yet and not sure what style of football Exeter play either. I do look out for their results.1

Not for me1

But top scorers. And likes his teams to play attacking football. And will be in the play offs. And might get promoted as a result.Chizz said:

Struggling to keep them in the play-offs is what I was told, doesn't sound great!0

Well done "our" Matt Taylor - will be leading Exeter against us next season.8

Well pleased Exeter have made it up, great little club.5

They've been there or there abouts for ages now, they deserve promotion.eaststandmike said:Well pleased Exeter have made it up, great little club.3 -

Our new manager if Jackson goes?…0
-
I mentioned him last year but few seemed to like the idea at that time. He's managed Exeter for almost four years and 210 games now, a feat that not too many at any level achieves these days but there is a reason for that - Exeter have only lost 54 of those matches i.e. just one in four.Scoham said:Our new manager if Jackson goes?…
The one player he might know how to get the most out of is Stockley - he scored 16 goals in 2018-19 for Exeter but was sold in the January for £750,000 to Preston.0 -
Notice he is still playing Cricket

Surely there are some more local woman around? Exeter seems a long way to go for our ex players daughter!cfgs said:Daughter is at Exeter Uni, nice weekend for me.2 -
Given that he was a keeper in the Everton Academy and for Matlock and Guiseley and didn't convert to being a CB 'til he was 24 when some bloke called Ged Roddy played him as a CB for Team Bath, Taylor really is an all round sportsman.ForeverAddickted said:Notice he is still playing Cricket3 -

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61223672Exeter President - "But Matt Taylor's recruitment in the summer shows it's not just the players he brings through. He's got an eye for a player as well that he can bring into the club and improve and mould them into a great team that's had superb cohesiveness this season."
Note that it's Matt Taylor who is responsible for development and recruitment. Not the owner. Not the Director of Football. But the Manager. On that basis, he probably wouldn't be a good fit for us after all.

Sacked by Rotherham earlier today.
