Bit of a left field name and hasn't really done much since leaving Huddersfield but what about David Wagner as an option? Would give TS his high press for sure.
Hasn't he just left a team that play in the champions league every season?
Yeah left Young Boys in Switzerland after coming 15 points behind FC Zurich.
I doubt there's any chance of him even being interested but I thought I'd suggest it anyway
Bearing in mind Curbs already works for the club on the tv channel and has seen most of our games last season. I do think TS would be mad not to have a chat with him about footballing matters at the club and get his views. Might be worth considering involving him if willing in the interview process. For I know that might already be happening or Curbs might prefer not to get involved with any of it.
Curbs thinks Gilbey is good. That should be enough for you all to realise that he has been out of the game for too long.
Gilbey isn’t a bad player. I’ve seen him run games when he wants to. Sadly, that’s the problem. Sometimes he turns up, sometimes he doesn’t, same with Lee.
Sorry, what's an example of when he has 'run a game'? He makes one run a game more like
It’s my opinion. You have a different one and that’s fine. I don’t have to explain every post on here.

Probably different interpretations of ‘good’. I think Gilbey is good in the sense that he has the technical ability to travel with the ball at his feet with pace far higher than the vast majority of players at L1 level, and that should be a real asset to the team. But it’s not been utilised in the right way, attacking the right zones from the right angles, and I think overall he had a poor season. I’m sure there are varying reasons for that.
Curbs can bring me in as his young assistant if he likes…

Correct. At League 1 level, Gilbey should be a star.
If the new guy gets him firing, you will see a Rolls-Royce of a player next season.

He is good at that one thing, and it is usually worthless as his final ball/end product is poor so all he is good for is getting us up the pitch. He can’t pass, can’t tackle, goes hiding/missing often. He was really good when JJ first took over, he was also good when Adkins first took over. But outside of those 2 short spells he’s been really poor for 2 years. I hope he isn’t near the team next year
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.

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.
