Matt Taylor - sacked by Rotherham & employed by Bristol Rovers

[Ex-ciderrr]

Worse case outcome gets sacked by Rovers and there's still a vacancy at muff. Too far south perhaps?

Wouldn’t see him as that desperate, or stupid.

Didn't realise Weymouth had sacked their manager

The going back up north comment is a stick often used to beat him with. He admittedly made the comment as a player before ending up at Charlton. If you’re still butthurt about that then there’s no hope.

He never mentioned it about Rotherham, in fact he uprooted his young family at short notice to take up the opportunity.

Get a grip, it’s not anti-Caldwell to respect a city legend.

Merely suggesting that due to it's location and his northern roots Plymouth may not be his preferred destination. As you rightly point out this might of been more of a consideration as a player than as a manager. Meant no dis-respect. Apologies if it was taken as such. Is one of my favourite City managers and players.

The chances of Plymouth appointing a manager who has been sacked in the Championship and sacked in League One are somewhere between nought and absolute zero

Besides, he's from Lancashire, but he's not a Scouser, so no chance

I was out in London after work last night with a mate who is a Rovers fan and he (and apparently many others) are unimpressed with Taylor. He seems to have turned an average team into a poor team. I think the general feeling there is to give him pre season and the first ten games to bring in his own players and get them settled in to his way of playing and if they start poorly Rovers should get rid. Apparently there's going to be a big turnover of players there.

12 players will be out of contract.
Matt's first action as ECFC manager was, as I recall, to unload all the uncontracted players we had then.

Makes no sense to keep him over the Summer, let him sign a new team then get rid. Either they decide when the season is over or wait until January
