Are we gonna get one in?

Apparently Alan Pardew has been hanging round Exeter.

Not a fan of Pardew at all. If we're to have one, I'd want somebody that has links to other clubs - but also has a link to Exeter. Somebody decently experienced - able to lend a helping hand to the manager when necessary. The only man I can think of that fits the bill is Brian McDermott.

Daughter had her graduation so probably why he was down in Devon.

Why does he need a link to Exeter? Main criterion is that he has experienced football at a high level and can pass on his experience to MT.

Can't imagine Pardew or McDermott wanting to do it though, or us affording them

A link to the club is something that a lot of clubs desire when looking for advisory staff, as they're generally more invested in the club. I doubt we could afford either on a regular basis, but some of these people have already earned a lot in their careers, and aren't too bothered by being paid less than what they're used to.

We don't need one.

Have the likes of Ainsworth at Wycombe, Nolan at Notts County or Cowley at Lincoln got one ?? Serious question.

Not directly connected, but nevertheless relevant in the context of adding cost. In his twitter spat with Gary Neville, the Chairman of Accrington released the information that his club's playing budget for their first season in Division One is under 1 million pounds. This puts into sharp relief the money we have been spending to achieve substantially less...

Their last accounts suggested (indirectly, of course) that he sloshed in over half a million last year.

What's that got to do with the level of the playing budget, are you suggesting he is going to add additional funds to the 980k they have already allocated?
