Will Tilson Quit?

[SARF]

Each season ends with dissapointment for pretty much 90 per cent of the teams in the leagues.. Cat see why tilson should feel the need to go after guiding a relegated club straight back to the play offs..

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Tilly won't go (fingers crossed).

While no doubt he has ambitions and would like to test himself elsewhere one day, he loves this club and i would imagine he see's the job as unfinished, until we are an established championship team. He would also probably like to be in charge when we move into the new stadium.

He's a young manager and has plenty of time to move on to bigger things.

 

[fatshrimp]

Would be very surprised if he walked and Ron has been nothing other than vocal in his support for Tilly.

I think there would have to be something pretty explosive going on behind closed doors for him to up and go.

He'll be here next season, I'm sure. If we end up in the same position this time next year, that might be a different story as I'm sure he has ambition.

 

[MK Shrimper]

I hope both he and Brushy stay for the long term: though it's just a job for him at the end of the day.

If he was offered a big wedge from a Championship or Prem club, who can blame him for jumping ship?

 

[Ricky Otto]

I dunno but I've got this feeling that Tilly might call it a day and move on to pastures new having acheived all he can at the Shrimpers.

How many times can a manager be expected to constantly have to rebuild a team from one season to the next?

I think he has done wonders with the resources he has had (though I don't always like what he does) but having to constantly sign loan or low budget players who then leave must be soul destroying for him.

It must be like building a house of cards only for the wind to blow them all down time after time.

For me its now 'put up or shut up' time for Ron Martin. With the new stadium plans granted, and the shares for players issue now done, any excuses he had for not funding summer signings have gone.

Imo if the funding does not come then Tilly will be off... and I wouldn't blame him.

Did any other club in the league spend more than us in Jan?

That would be the only reason I could see him leaving!

whereas a cpl of years ago, when we got promoted into the CCC, Tilly was making people sit up and look, and was a hot commodity. Now after being generally outplayed by most teams in the CCC, as well as showing signs of tactical naievety in that season as well as this, I dont think he's quite the saught after manager he once was. Yes, still young with time to learn, and please please please, let it be with us, but another season where a lot is offered and little delivered, I could see the Tilly brush love affair turning sour.

what does that mean exactly, are you saying getting to the play-offs (ignore what happened the other night) is not good enough?

 

[shrimpled]

Paul Brush does not enjoy being a manager according to my mate who knows him well. He likes being second in charge and working with Tilly. Brush won't manage this club if Tilly goes, he'll go with them. FWIW i don't think Tilly will go yet.

 

[Nobby Snide]

i mean, plenty of times in the past, on here, we have moaned about one aspect or another of his management...substitutions, positioning of players, tactics..all questionable, if not naieve, or just too damn late. Well done, we got into the play offs, but others outside of the club would start to put big questions against his tactical awareness, timing, judgement and descision making.

 

[les@donr]

I think Tilly will be around for a while, I guess he will want to take Southend into the new ground, and get you into the CCC.

I find it hard to believe that a CCC club or Premiership club will bring in Tilson. He has been successful in L1 and 2 but I think for now thats it for him. We had a bad season last year and have just been hammered in the play off semis. Doubt anyone will be knocking his door down. I hope Im right as I really dont want to see him go. Stability is so important for a club.

Thats fair enough, he's not a tactical genius but how many managers in the lower leagues are though?

For whats its worth I think he would struggle at a big club.

 

[leeblue]

No chance, he is a legend at SUFC this is his club

 

[les@donr]

I think Tilson is still learning his trade, given him time he will be a top draw manager, hoping for you its with Southend.

 

[DTS]

Cant see Tilly getting a better job yet as most clubs bigger than is would want a higher profile manager than Tilly, Cant see him walking as he needs to work I guess and seems to enjoy the job and cant see Ron sacking him as he has done so well for us - So in short going nowhere and I for one am delighted.

 

[Einstein]

He'll be here next season, I'm sure. If we end up in the same position this time next year, that might be a different story as I'm sure he has ambition.

This is where I'm not sure.

Remember, Tilly turned down big money moves in his playing career to stick with SUFC. I personally think the only ambition he currently has is to be as successful as possible with SUFC.

I think he'll be here for a good 4 or 5 years yet. Then maybe boredom will kick in for him and he'll go and do something completely different...

 

[les@donr]

Agree with you Dave, Tilly would have to seriously balls up to lose the managers job at Southend, he must have one of the most secure jobs in the division.

 

[NZamba Legend]

For only a trainee he aint done bad:

Saved us from relegation from Football league
LDV Final
Promotion from league two via play-offs
LDV Final
League one CHAMPIONS
Victory against Manchester United (including Rooney and Ronaldo)
League cup quarter finals
League one play offs

For all his minor faults Tilson has done a great job for Southend and long may it continue. Compared to some we seen he has really stabilised the club. He will def be here to take the club to the new stadium. I can see him being here along time. Its his club where he is adored by the fans
