Tilson rewrites Southend's history

[Csboy]

Southend's history can now be split into two, the before Tilson was manager and after Tilson was manager.

Before Tilson
6 promotions in 97 years
one 4th Division title
6 seasons in Division 2(Div 1 or Championship whatever you want to call it)
no finals
no play offs
no major cup shocks
no real Cup run

With Tilson
Two promotions
one League one title
one Play off appearance and victory
Two LDV Final appearances
Beating Manchester United
1/4 Final(at least) in major Cup competition
one season so far in Championship


Not forgetting that Tilson played all 6 seasons in Division 2 and played in 2 of the promotion winning side in the before Tilson era.

We should all be so grateful that Tilson was given the job 3 years ago just think how different things might have been without him?
Too think there were a few idiots on here less than a week ago calling for Tilson to be sacked!!These people should be condemned to a lifetime of watching Leyton Orient.

Interesting points - those who wanted Tilly's head last week take note, although they seem to be very quiet this week!!

Never wanted Tilly out. But i was starting to lose the faith. And tilly has restored that in me and hopefully he will cement that tomorrow.

Csboy - what a brilliant post. a cracking set of statistics which show how much we've achieved in 3 years or so. I can understand people wanting Tilly to do things a bit differently, but to want him sacked for lack of experience is an absolute joke. Why can't we just enjoy what we've got now, and help tilly grow into this new league - as a direct result of the phenomenal work of Sir Stevie Tilson (et al) over the last 3 years we're in the 2nd most supported league in the world, and we're in the 1/4 finals of a major domestic trophy for the first time ever. Let's get behind this utter legend, and give him all the support we can to help him keep us up, cos I want these special times to carry on, so onwards and upwards, with Tilly and Brush...SUFC all the way. C'mon you shrimpers
