Echo News Southend United in no rush to name new manager

[axe]

Mark Beard? Crikey.

Beard, who was Southend's Player of the Year in 1999, said: "The manager Alan Little said we would talk about a contract. I didn't hear anything then one day I got a letter in the post saying he wasn't taking me on. He didn't even tell me face to face."

Revenge was sweet for Beard. "Beating Southend was brilliant," he said. "Afterwards I went mad, and I was kicking their dressing-room door. It was so much happiness and anger all in one."

Marks Beards budget at BHA to buy U18 players will have eclipsed ours for our 1st team over the last 2/3 years.

Well, I don't think we should condone this kind of behaviour by appointing him as manager.

Hopefully Dave Morley, Neville Roach and Trevor Fitzpatrick will throw their hats into the ring.

So many good memories

If Paul Tisdale apply to be our manager, it’s all over to be honest.

Jesus Christ, just done a google. Paul Tisdale is a very stylish guy. Dresses like a lower league Pep. In fact, probably deserves more credit because he must be spending all his salary on clothes. Good looking too. The ladies would be flocking back to RH, even amidst a pandemic.

Forget Mark Beard, anyone got Leo Roget's number? the players will either perform or their stereo will get broken

to be fair his record as a manager in L2 is very decent, if he was interested Ron should talk to him

Agree he has a very solid record consistently reaching playoffs. Bit of a nearly man- but in a good way I think. Doubt he was every playing with big budgets at Exeter and tenure their very good- not a job hopper. Even if the plan was one of our "own" certainly you would interview him as he tick a number of boxes. Been always West country based until MK Dons?

I can't see him being appointed somehow.

Not forgetting his reputation in nurturing young talent which won't be lost on Ron. He could actually be a good option if Ron decides not to appoint a man with current/previous Southend connections.

Quite agree- if you are going to have an "outsider" option he ticks a number of boxes and his career says he might stay longer term (not come for a year until something better arrives- a job hopper is last thing we need..)

Mate of mine is an Exeter City SH. Apparently PT best mate is a fashion designer (or something like that) and he gets all his clobber that way. Loves a hat!

Let’s hope he doesn’t favour a straw hat.

Re Paul Tisdale and the nationality of our managers on another thread... He is Maltese, apparently...

Hopefully Dave Morley, Neville Roach and Trevor Fitzpatrick will throw their hats into the ring.

And possibly Gridelet and Rammell too. On second thoughts maybe not due to Rammell's dodgy contacts.......
