My take on Sercs FWIW is that at least when he was with us that he was / is a good player when given freedom in his best position, right sided combative attacking midfield. Ineffective when asked to do a different job like holding / covering (or once by Tis at right back...)
For many City fans the name of the game is the all-important promotion and 2012-13 saw Tisdale once again aiming for that event after that ignominious 23rd place finish the previous season. So from 2012-13 to his departure to MK Dons in 2017-18 just what how many div 2 managers achieved this feat?
And also quick to "boot" him out on his arse as soon as the wheels started falling off.MK Dons thought he was worth a punt
How many League 2 managers had that number of seasons and remained League 2 managers for the entirety?
Because the fascination with him astounds me...the bloke had yonks of time. Only got us back up one division really. Ended up stuck in League 2 for years and years...didn’t really move forward at all
Would you care to total up how many league 2 managers gave their fans something to cheer about by successfully gaining promotion between the years 2012-13 to 2017-18 while we remained marooned in league 2?
Why should it ‘astound’ you - he was manager here for longer than anyone else in most supporters’ lifetimes and was pretty successful for at least half of that time including being the first to gain promotion in a generation, the first ever to gain more than one promotion, the first ever to gain back to back promotions, the first to get us to Wembley, which he then repeated a further three times, the first to get us to the play-offs, the first to generate a million pound transfer fee for the club, the list goes on.
Even the statement that "... arguably Paul’s greatest achievement at Exeter City FC was his success in developing an environment conducive to attractive football philosophies"?
No, not that either.
