Who didnt want Tilson, but would be happy with him now?

Just Interested!

 

Near the end of last season when I was calling for Hessy to resign, I said I thought Tilson would do a great job and I stand by that now. His record speaks for itself at Southend with back to back promotions and if you ask any Southend fan he's tactically astute any they played nice football under him. I still think Lee Clark would be the outstanding candidate but I just can't see him dropping to our level. I know that's not answering your question but heyho. I think Bollan would be a disaster!!

 

so lenny i take it your making the point as much as you can, that from the beginning you mark0000, gfc0000 and your friends from skybet etc wanted tilson as manager...two words...digging hole

the guy won't and shouldn't be gillingham fc manager....should it god for sake happen...he'll be the cheap option as ever with paul scally !

 

Well I'll be surprised if it were anything else.

29/04/12 - No mention of Tilson then?

 

I just think we need to be realistic, we are Div 2 side we aren't going to get a big name. Tilson would be a cheap option, but a cheap option with a bit of pedigree.

 

Different forum brb!

 

Lenny - stop posting the same time as me, your overlooking the next question

 

your so funny mate

 

So, who did say Tilson from the start?

 

You did

 

Returning to the original question, I could well fall into that category. Steve has had huge success at a club similar to ourselves in a few respects. A replication is exactly what we have been looking for, with more than a few failed attempts so far! Speaking truthfully, Allen, Adams, Clark, Scott and Ince could not work with the Chairman insisting on the Director of Football role. Who does that leave? Tilson is perhaps worth a try; leave him to the coaching, Hessenthaler to the transfers. I don't get the vibe from Steve that this would be a problem and given that he signed Sinclair, Gowling and Nutter for Lincoln - perhaps he is best kept away from the transfer budget

 

Steve Tilson is probably the only candidate that would work with Hessenthaler. Plus, he will be ok with the transfer budget. To be honest, I think with the squad we have and all the youngsters given pro contracts that we will only sign another 3 or 4 players.

 

I would rather Tilson than Bollan, but then I rather have neither of them.
