Maybe that’s all his budget could afford?
Anyone would struggle to keep them in the division, and maybe he’s learnt valuable lessons along the way.
I’m hoping he’s already got an idea of exactly where we need to strengthen next campaign (pace/striker or 2/full backs) and will be working with Friend to get them in early
At least he knows the players, bring in a new face and it’s a massive gamble as he won’t have a clue!
He showed at Exeter that he can manage, and on a low budget with chances for young players.
Exactly the sort of model we now need to follow
At some point we need to stop being a basket case sack the manager every 5 minutes club!

I don't think a defeat would be the end for MT. The Board took long enough to appoint him, so I think they will give him time, with his own players.

I don’t think we can afford to sack MT at the moment. Not financially or from the creditability viewpoint.
As a club we have to accept that our reputation is shot after the last few years. The manager turnstile was whizzing before JB and although his appointment meant stability of sorts it gave more notoriety than admiration externally. When I mention I’m a Gashead the first comment is usually still about JB and then when Matt Taylor is mentioned - “Didn’t you sell him?” or “Who’s that?”
The owners as businessmen probably feel the need to stick to their plans and have the self belief to do so. When all is said and done they also know a lot more about what is happening with MT and the players and why. Has he really lost the dressing room? Has JB ever let ‘his’ element go? Whose fault is it that such a big reset is required now anyway - not these owners nor MT clearly.
UTG!

Btw I’ve not experienced people referencing JB when I tell them I’m a gashead although with results/performances being like they have been for the past 6 months I’m currently too embarrassed to tell people who I support. When we were making news around the world after the Scunthorpe game I was very proud for everyone to know I was a Gashead !!! |

As an Exeter fan (then rovers!) what a crazy season it has been for both clubs. Most/some Exeter fans (myself included)spent most of the season still ruing the departure of Matt Taylor (and Nombe) to Rotherham. MT is still referred to as 'Super' MT! Then Jevani of course to Rovers and all the while desperately wishing Exeter would sack our manager Caldwell. We went 13 games without a win with 3 points from a possible 39, scoring just 3 goals and conceding 29. We lost 7-0 at Bolton and lost 9-0 at home to Reading in the pizza cup.To Cap it all, we also signed Ryan Woods!
Then it all changed.
Exeter are now unbeaten in 7 (that could end today!)
Rovers are 7 games without a win or goal (That should change today!)
Brown has been disappointing to say the least.
Ryan Woods is actually playing well.
As for 'Super' Matt Taylor? who knows? I think the players are part to blame with a clear out expected. I suspect the board will give him some time, cant see any point at this stage.
PS got nice odds on 2 away games today!
UTG and UTG!

Yet he’s taken on someone else’s players and improved them. Barton built a side over almost 3 years and couldn’t achieve a higher finish than 17th last season and we were 17th when he was sacked. The clueless one comes on it takes an eternity for the board to allow him to bring in his own staff , we sell one of our best attacking players and the useless one still improves us. Give the bloke a chance ffs. |

A mate of mine is a big Exeter fan and keeps telling me Taylor will get the best out of Jevani Brown. For me it's more likely Taylor is begging the board for funds to pay up Brown's contract. I guess time will tell |

Things change quickly - some good signings and a good start in August will change everything. There are sliding doors moments at this level - if JCH had signed; if Scott Jones had put that penalty away; if Astafjevs and Mauge weren't both crocked at the same time in 2000. It's fine margins between a winning run and a losing one |

Plymouth's board, who give the impression they know how to run a football club, sacked their manager after a similar number of games in charge. I assume the likes of GF, even TG, must know if MT is up to the job or totally out of his depth. I assume like us they must have wondered what MT was doing starting with Brown and McCormick as our strikers on Tuesday night? Plymouth now beating Leicester 1-0, last month their form was as just as bad as ours, it just shows you what a new manager can achieve without a transfer window. Shows you what a bit of luck can do, that's all. |

I guess time will tell Perhaps Brown just got lucky at Exeter and fitted into how the team played, at Rovers he's clearly not a No 9 and he can't play the No 10 role like Evo or Aguilera can, as he's not as mobile as those two. I doubt MT can risk starting him again this season. McCormick is another one who doesn't seem to fit into how we play, although perhaps a decent pre-season will help him. If he can manage one without breaking a toe nail! |
