Tisdale out brigade - Mk Edition.

[denzel]

Him driving too and fro from Chippenham to do his job couldnt have helped.

A shorter journey to MK than he took coming here for 12 years.

PT decided what he wanted to do and did it. There is no need for anyone to feel any regret about has subsequently happened. He was, in reality, a very average manager who fell on his feet at Exeter and had the good fortune to find himself employed by people who were extremely reluctant to judge him in the same way that most other managers are judged. As a result, he enjoyed 12 very relaxed years without the pressure he clearly faced that moment he decided to move on. The fact that he went to MK Dons of all clubs tells you all you need to know about his character. The one real ability he had was to create a persona that fooled many people into believing he was irreplaceable. He wasn't, as most sensible people already knew, and now he knows it too.

Yes Winkelman is a hard-headed businessman who won't stand for too much carp.

Oakley, Butterfield and Gwinett get the heave ho too. No mention of Stevie P. resigning yet !

When he was with us Perryman was paid via an offshore service company. If the same applied at The Franchise there would be no concept of him being sacked or resigning. MK would just not give him any more work assignments.

And yes, that offshore company structure was distinctly odd.

The pleasure some are taking from this is peculiar, to say the least. Globey is nowhere to be seen unless there’s something to moan or gloat about.

Don't you think after the way he left and things he said we're entitled to a little bit of gloating?

Quite frankly I couldnt give a shiit about Tisdale or his job statue. I've no clue why this thread is among the front runners on a saturday night. Tisdale walks away from MK Dons laughing, with a monumental monetary settlement to tied him over.

Tisdale was responsible for sucking all the enjoyment out of my Saturdays (and Tuesdays) and turned watching City into a chore. The dreadful home form, the lack of visible passion, the 70 minutes before a shot on target, the too-late-to-matter substitutions, players out of position etc. etc.

However, he who was also responsible for two incredible seasons where we became the club of our dreams (especially the second) and a decent season in League One, and every Grecian respects him for that.

But the real reason he generates the comments he does on here is the way that he left. No other Exeter City manager in our long history served a two-year notice and no other manager in our long history flounced off like he did. The interview in the Times has him talking about coaching at Premier League level: as yesterday has shown, the man was delusion and had beleieved his own hype for far too long. He only survived 12 years with us because he had Tagg in his back pocket And a posse of - now unemployed - mates who worshipped him.

The whole 12 years was utterly unique in this club’s history and not a little unlike the Thatcher years in British politics. That’s why.

Classic symptom of cronyism. Also the rumours of Tisdale being frequently absent from training might have something to do with the time he was spending at Ted Baker to ‘develop himself’.

And this post from the MK Dons forum could easily have been lifted from Exeweb three or four years ago

“Pete, quite rightly, has not based his decision on just one or two games. It based on whether we are moving forward as a club. In all matches I have seen, this season and some last season, our play was boring, tedious, slow and not likely to attract new supporters. Last season it mattered less as we were up against teams that were significantly worse. The warnings were there then. If you look closely, we should have easily won the league. I don't wish to reduce the work PT did but I've taken off the rose tinted glasses.

After the season, Paul, maybe thinking he would be leaving, strengthened the squad with players that he was attracted to but with all his experience being in the 2nd div hardly surprising what we got, (appreciate there were exceptions), then he made a wrong decision - whether there was any money left after all the signings, not taking any loans as protection for injuries. And that has come back to haunt him.

He could have got away with a few of these failings but when you put them together he had to go to refresh the club. I've got a feeling Pete has been working on this for quite a while and a new announcement might be quite quick”

Note the ’rose-tinted glasses’ that I’ve highlighted - heard that before?

Ab example of Tis being able to convince others that he is some kind of football genius". (Written by Toby Lock in the MK Citizen :

"Few will have a bad word to say about Tisdale when the dust settles. A clever football man, perhaps too clever for the team he had at his disposal, but one.....".

Gotta larf : "too clever for the team he had at his disposal".
I guess Tis will be off to Man City soon..

To be honest, I am not sure he is particularly employable: a reasonable track record, certainly, but a reputation for boring, defensive football is not a great component for a managerial CV. As for a broadcasting career, well, no.
