Latest Rumours Taylor rumours circulating

[Rob1920]

Dave, do you know if there will be roles in this managerial dream team for Chris Perkins and Francisco Cagigao?

I used to work with his brother back in the 80's, and obscure claims to fame don't come much better than that..

 

[Lester Bangs]

I think Tilson will only move when he thinks he has taken us as far as he can.

Anytime now then?

With the state of the finances and the calibre of player we attract I cant see us going much further than midtable league 1 at the moment.

On a serious note is Tilly likely to attract a bigger job than here at Southend?

Before people jump on this one, I rate Tilly as a manager but when bigger jobs come up then there is always a ''bigger'' manager taken on.

That's quite a good point, I think one of the reasons that Tilly goes under a lot of clubs radar is because he has been in the Roots Hall hot seat for so long. Remember he's about the 6th longest serving manager in the league.

I'd compare him with Sean O'Driscoll who was at Bournemouth for years doing a steady job and turning out competitive teams, going under the radar of loads of clubs until Doncaster took a punt on him. Look where Doncaster & Bournemouth are now.

At the moment.

But I believe that Tilly and Brush want to be in charge when FF opens. We've already been in the CCC with them and regardless of the odd bad result we've got a young and developing squad. We can go further.

I've believed for ages that Tilson also gets passed over for his complete lack of competence in interviews. No matter what he does on the pitch, ST always gives the impression on TV and radio that he hasn't got a scooby what he's up to. Much as we sometimes knock him for it, it's always done us the power of good. If it sometimes leads to the opposition (Fergie? Scolari?) underestimating him then all the better.

Also, he isn't a "name" like a Darren Ferguson or a Paul Ince. Tilson's record looks similiar, if not better on paper but both of them two are names. Just look at the money Ferguson and Ince have had to spend compared with Tilson and you will realise what a incredible job Tilson has done.

His playing career wasn't up to much cop either which has helped us out. He spent his career with us, Witham and Canvey. Paul Ince had a cracking record as a player, hence why he was given the chance in the first place. If Tilson didn't get his first chance with us I doubt he'd have ended up a manager. Mark Robins, ex-Man Utd player, does a great job at Rotherham and gets his big chance with Barnsley.

Granted some managers like Mourinho, Sir Ferguson and Wenger didn't have great careers as footballers, but we are talking about lower leagues here.

If that overated waster ever becomes manager then we will be in trouble!

Tilly is a hero, i hope he never gets blamed for the predicament, Ron Martin will get this club into.
