    Yes but it is interesting to note the people we were talking to last year before being essentially 'forced' to employ Jackson permanently. 
    Sandgaard was not forced to pick Jackson. No one had him in a headlock. That was his own decision. 


    He himself said he was basically forced into it because of the great results and fan pressure. 

    It's a compliment to Jackson that he won himself the role, but indicates that Thomas had his eye elsewhere before the results picked up. 
    Thomas had someone lined up to replace Adkins and was talked into giving Jackson a trial spell by someone. 

    That person is no longer available. 
  • wouldn't be against Matt Taylor though I think TS will want to go for someone who has managed/coached in a higher division.

    I’d be happy with Taylor despite saying I didn’t want a former player.

    On goalkeepers switching to an outfield position, another former player did it too - Josh Magennis. Slightly younger age at 17/18 but had even been the sub keeper for Cardiff’s first team.
  • I'd rather Keane than have Bowyer back.
    He’d be accused of bullying about 5 minutes into his first preseason friendly.
  • Jody Morris

    Too small and too Chelsea.
  • Gotta say that is all very impressive with Taylor. Young, upcoming manager but still has decent experience. 

    Liked him as a player for us aswell. 

    Anyone know how Exeter play? I see the attacking bit mentioned but wondered if anyone had ever see them play.

    Worked well with Adkins.

    Does that person have a name?

    if you know the name but cannot say, would he have been a good appointment and is he doing well where he is?

    If Sandgaard hadn't appointed Jackson last year, there would have been outrage! He recognised that.
    He did but could argue he needs to make the right decisions rather than decisions that are popular in the short term.

    Not that I have faith in him bringing in the right manager.

    If its the name I heard... He's just outside the Championship Play-Offs.
  • Steve McLaren 
  • Boris Johnson,  might be available soon 😉

    Wilder? Surely wouldn’t drop to L1 on whatever TS was going to offer?

    Thats what I thought - Although I've got no reason to doubt the person who told me

  • Can only be Wilder or Bruce. Both of which I find hard to believe would drop down to League One
  • edited May 2022
    Roy Keane I think Jonathan ackworth would be a better manager than him talks total shit.
    That's just given the green light for Ackworth to apply.
  • Taylor was also one of my first thoughts after our relegation from the championship, he did well with Exeter that season getting them into the play-offs. Of course Bowyer stayed but even after Adkins left he was still one of my first choices.

    Can't see him leaving Exeter now he has won league 2 and got them promoted.

    Hasselbaink would go down well. 😂
    He went down in stages when he played for us, he was so unfit and overweight. 

    From a management perspective he got lucky with Burton one season but hasn’t set the world alight at QPR or Northampton.

    Personally, I don’t care who’s manager if they get us back up to and competitive in the Championship. My fear is that with the expected budget and non-playing management we have in place this is going to prove difficult for whoever gets the role. 

    Over the past few years apart from Powell, Bowyer and Jackson most of the managers have been instantly forgettable or remembered for the wrong things including hiding in laundry baskets. 


  • Anyone but Roy Keane. 
    And Hasselbaink.

    Would depend if TS could sell him the "vision" and of course one would think that his salary would be much improved. Don't like the "we are a bigger club" argument but the fact is that Exeter's average crowd is about 5,000 and their capacity is 8,679. That, in itself, is going to restrict them so far as growth is concerned. 
  • We may well have wanted Wilder but I highly doubt he would have come here.

    Is your source reliable ?
    And how is Mr x doing in his new job ?

    Taylor is a young and upcoming manager who will at some point want to move onto a bigger and better job than Exeter City. He might well fancy having a crack with them in league one next season but if he were given the opportunity to manage Charlton he might just as easily see that as a stepping stone to even bigger things. I think every manager in league two and at least 2/3 of league one would look at the Charlton job very seriously. 
  • Just reading up on Michael Beale and he looks like a great prospect as the coach. Will Sandgaard look for a manager to go alongside him? Where does that leave Euell - academy, development and junior teams?
    We need a strong academy to feed into senior team and sell on other prospects….
