With Christmas coming up an opportunity for a new line in stylish "Tis Gas" hats in the Rovers shop?

Welcome, Paul. I've predicted we'll finish second this season - don't make me a liar.

Just remember, if there was a perfect manager available, he probably wouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as bristol rovers.
I personally wouldn't have gone for tisdale, but there's enough about him to be positive for the immediate future. Fingers crossed.

Things are going to get really confusing when we start comparing him to previous managers, which will happen, obvs.
'You can't compare PT with DC and GC. He's more like PT, or even BG.'

16/1. He went out to 20/1 after I put my bet on! I think pirate is also collecting. Not sure about our good friend gashead1981 though? He told me I was wasting my money! 😕 😉 View AttachmentWell done pirate and GGMI. Good to see you benefiting from the appointment. I know you’ll grow a thick shell for when he loses a game, you know what’s coming! 👍 UTG! |

A superb appointment for Rovers but he will need time.
Hopefully the fans will buy into Tis's philosophy of building and maintaining a self sufficient football club which is also Wael's aim.

Some interesting stuff there from our Grecian friend. One imagines the board would be enamoured with the approach of building your team around a certain player to boost their stats and get a top fee for them. The downside is surely that the team must always be in flux because you are pumping your stock ready to sell it in the next window. On the whole that synopsis does paint Tisdale in a better light- it seems that his performance in the past has been tailored to the conditions in which he has found himself. I’ve warmed to him a bit..... ...but I find it interesting that he won’t be the cheap option and if anything will probably be the expensive option if it will take reasonable money to tempt him away from his other commitments. I can’t help but feel if we are going to pay top whack could we not spend it more wisely? It was a really bad period for the club tbh. We started that season under a transfer embargo, and finances were a priority, was why Tisdale's sole focus was putting Grimes in the shop window. But, during that period, we only won 1, maybe 2, home games in the calendar year. You'll find much harsher criticism from a number of our fans about him, and this was when he started to implode a bit (re my point around not taking criticism well!) but I do wonder if if we hadn't have had a manager like Tis, what might have happened to us financially. The one thing that does irk me, is he tries to take credit for the development of our academy. I actually don't think he's great at bringing players through, it's more by fortune that there was this talent in our academy (Grimes, Watkins, Ampadu). Our current manager gives much more time to our academy grads that Tis ever did! Our board were very clear about bringing players through and passing football. Some fans even said they wrote the job description with Tisdale in mind. Do you think the Rovers board have fallen for some sort of urban legend about Tisdale then as it seems from what you have said that he isn’t the best for bringing youth through, has at times played long ball football...and am I reading it right he won one or two home games in a calendar year?! it seems the one thing he does do is conjure up big transfer fees, although as you say a big portion of the hard work seems to have been your academy. |

Well done pirate and GGMI. Good to see you benefiting from the appointment. I know you’ll grow a thick shell for when he loses a game, you know what’s coming! 👍 UTG! Haha. To clarify, I'm not saying he will be amazing appointment. I think he ticks a lot of boxes, especially his thoughts align with Wael's. Developing players and trying to build a long term project and sustainable football club (like he did at Exeter). Also he was without a job so. No compo and complexities to pay etc. My slight doubts are that fans of previous clubs don't seem overly fond of him considering he has won promotions with them and his record in league 1 is poor. On another note, I wonder if he has spoke to Paul Buckle the past few days about coming here (granted a lot changed since Buckle was here!) . Paul Buckle was Tisdale's assistant at Exeter before he managed Torquay. |

The appointment makes a lot of sense and he ticks the boxes on most of the competencies required.
My main concern is how well he will be able to manage our fickle and too often critical fan base and I'm a little worried this might be one skill lacking.
He can manage players but not sure how he'll cope with our more difficult fans.

He can manage players but not sure how he'll cope with our more difficult fans. That’s a commonality with most clubs. I’m sure he’ll do fine by getting results. |

Sorry if it’s already been covered ( can’t see it anywhere) but to make an appointment that quick surely it was in the pipeline before garner got sacked. Also strange that Starnes said we would be taking our time then few days later we’ve got one in the door. ? There couldn’t have been anyone else even interviewed. ?
