I was distracted by that too. He was clasping his hands a lot, so I googled clasping hands body language meaning.. Clasping hands, squeezing hands together is a self-pacifying gesture. A person who does this is uncomfortable, maybe even nervous or fearful. ... Clasped hands with interwoven fingers indicate great anxiety and frustration. That person is thinking, “Things are going really bad”. Hopefully the above is a load of sh**e, are there any body language experts on here?! I got the impression he was really nervous too. Didn’t feel me with much confidence that interview to be honest and I think he might be another Rovers manager that I don’t really watch his pre or post match interviews because I find him irritating, same as Coughlan. I guess you don’t have to like someone to appreciate they’re doing a good job and as long as tisdale does a good job that will do for me. We were spoilt with DC, let’s be fair. It’s made it harder to warm to the managers since. But like you say you don’t have like the manager’s personality, if he wins games then I’m sure we can live with the rest. Although it will be nice if he takes some personal responsibility and doesn’t try to hoodwink the fans in the way that Garner did.

Good interview from the new gaffer. I have to say it's really hard not to take to him. I know he comes across as a "softy" like Ben, but there is a real charisma about him. Actually feeling cautiously optomistic he could be the perfect appointment. All the best Tis! UTG!! Thought the same, but half the people on here are just worried about what he was doing with his hands!

People place far too much emphasis on manager’s interviewing style’s IMO. They could have an annoying voice and a nasty attitude and I wouldn’t care a jot if they were winning games for the football club. Of course having a manager like DC, who really got the fans, is a big bonus but it’s not a necessity in my eyes.

Surely Widdrington has to go down as our best ever manager though ? Never lost a game and a 100% win rate. Widdrington, our Kevin Keegan - we're gonna score one more than you!

Exeter City fan here (though I live in Weston, and have also watched Rovers many times back at Eastville)
When Tisdale first arrived at Exeter we had no money (still don't), so he was expected to bring youth through from the academy. Exeter have always tried to play football, and he also set us up to play out from the back. He signed some really good players over the years for Exeter, Rob Edwards, and Jamie Cureton for example, and he did bring through a number of good local youngsters.
We enjoyed two promotions under Tisdale, and for a small club took a few scalps in League 1. I enjoyed the first years under his control. When we got relegated back to league 2 I was not upset, expecting us to be competitive in League 2, even if not getting straight back up. we then seemed to be stuck in a rut, playing 1 up front at home with no plan B when faced with a physical side.
Tis is slow to change things when everyone else in the ground sees the need for a sub, he will wait until we concede, then talk a good story in the interview after,
I also wonder how much help Steve Perryman (great bloke) was to him at Exeter,
Anyway, best of luck to you all, (excet when you play Exeter!)
cheers

Stevie P used to handle the contracts at Exeter as well as passing on his knowledge of the game. He was also DOF to Alex Inglethorpe before Tis arrived. Always willing to lead the fans singing from The Stagecoach Stand, he will need to learn the words to Goodnight Irene and teach todays Gasheads them as most only know the chorus nowadays.

I really hope this works quickly because I'm not sure how all the 'DNA' 'philosophy' 'ideology' stuff will work if we find ourselves in a relegation fight with a group of young inexperienced players.... Hopefully it won't come to that.... I think the difference between Tisdale and Garner is twofold He has the experience, and the willingness to, chuck those philosophies and ideologies away when it is necessary to. There is zero point following them if you’re not getting results. I don’t think Tisdale will entertain them if there’s a risk they’re going to get us relegated. My main worry is that even if the manager wants to drop the ideology for a game or two, do we have the squad to mix it up, be ugly, get physical?

Some interesting perspectives from previous fans. Sounds like he has flaws in his approach to the game and what seems interesting is that the things he was widely known for (good football, bringing through youth) may have urban legend elements to it.
So going by that I don’t know what to expect really. It sounds like at some point we will be confused by his methods. At the end of the day though if he wins games that’s all that matters and he can play 5-5-0 formations or whatever it was. It’s at least nice to just have someone who is actually a manager. That is something in and of itself! Good luck Paul, I suspect there will be days when you will need it

It's definitely a very reasonable appointment that is logical and thought out. Rather than a nepotistic previous appointment that appeared to be hypnotism of our owner by anything connected or loosely connected to Chelsea automatically being excellent?
I'm quietly confident Tis can do a better job than previous for the rest of this season and help to keep us up.
Anything else is a bonus. As ever, we'll wait to see..
Well done Wael and the board for acting swiftly and decisively, and I hope this unifies the fanbase to get behind Tis..

Every new manager deserves a chance to prove his worth just the same as any new player.

I'm undecided on this appointment personally Yes I was aware that Cureton had been at Rovers (and Edwards had been at City), but the point remains he made good signings of experienced players who did well for Exeter, and he also brought through some good young local players who went higher - George Friend, Matt Grimes, Ollie Watkins, Ethan Ampadu,Dave Wheeler. I liked his thoughtful style (if you want a shouty arm waver then he is not your man). In the end though successful away record was eclipsed by several awful home seasons where the lack of urgency on the pitch was just too much, cheers

Amazing to think until his arrival, Exeter had never before been in the play-offs, let alone played at Wembley. Under Tisdale they had four Wembley visits, two promotions and their joint highest ever league finish. Top man.

He sounds like their DC, it does beg the question why we’ve had two of their fans on here who have hardly been very effusive about his contribution.

I imagine if we had 4 or 5 more years, say, of mid table L1 under DC, he would have accumulated his share of critics, too.

I've often thought that sometimes you can stay at a place a bit too long, no matter how well you have done or are doing. Some people get fed up with hearing the same old voice and forget to look at the bigger picture.
