Can anyone with more knowledge give me some information on why Matt Taylor is so sort after (apart from the obvious has achieved promotion).
I’ve watched a couple of interviews with him and like the way he articulates himself, but will be interested to know what sort of football Exeter play, what sort of budget he was working towards, how good their youth system is etc.

He wasn't mentioned before Exeter were promoted at his 4th attempt. The fact that he's ex-Charlton, we are obsessed with bringing back ex-players and he's comparatively young are the only other reasons that I can see.

Fair points to be honest. But I suppose being a league one club the best you can expect is to either get a young manager excelling at the level beneath us, or an experienced manager whose previously excelled above us but is on the downslope of his career.
Those that excel at our current level would go onto championship clubs.
The only other type are journeymen drifters like Lee Johnson, Phil Parkinson, etc.
And of course the 'educated punt' like Beale whose never had a managerial job.
Taylor is probably the best we can realistically get.
Either of Warburton or Beale would be my first choices but both are probably out of our realistic range maybe. Taylor is a decent pick but I would prefer to have gone for Duff (Cheltenham) or Bonner (Cambridge) who have followed their promotions with good first years at this level. Will still be reasonably pleased with Taylor if he gets it

Makes a first class lamb roast and is a really good cuddler.
i have to say if was to be Beale the big delay would make sense, i find it hard to believe TE didn’t have someone lined up ready to come right in , so it kinda make sense if Villa have said he can’t leave until the end of the season
Why do you find that hard to believe? He had nobody lined up when he sacked smiley Nigel

He’s done an excellent job at Exeter, in what has been a difficult few years for them to build a sustained push. Each year, to balance the books, they sell their best players. We’ve tried to get a couple of them over the last few seasons I believe. They’ve always been close to promotion, indeed could have been promoted the year of covid if it hadn’t stopped early.
He seems to be well respected by his players and is all about pushing forward together as a club.
He is a little more out of the Powell mould of hard work, team spirit and togetherness as opposed to Rob Edwards who is more consistent high press, and trying to win the ball back as high up the pitch as he can.
He would be a very sound appointment and it is good to get a manager on the up if he did indeed get the job.
If it is to be Taylor, I think I'm right in saying that it will be the first time since Nelson (48 years ago) that a manager has been prepared to leave a club while still under contract to "better himself" at CAFC? Feel the warm glow as our self esteem rises!

Took Curbs a few attempts to get promoted as well. He was rubbish.

Dowie did the same but tried resigning to get round the compensation

Least if he came in we might get materials on the cheap!
Edit - Leuth beat me to it! Haha
It's not even a step up according to some.

Also got Exeter promoted on a shoestring.
