As much as Tisdale divided the fans ( in the end) he certainly had ( as you say - credit in the bank) taking us out of the conference and gaining back to back promotions.It's blind naivety,some will back the manager regardless as it's the proper thing to do and what's good for the goose and all that.
People were dead against letting Tis leave when he clearly did all he could that fanbase was divided and I remember then stating the obvious that Tisdale ran his course you'd get shot down,at least he had credit in his locker and still managed to turn a fanbase, Gary's been here five minutes and has dived it completely so that's worth something...
The sad truth is the saying "little old Exeter" may as well be put in the club mantra and put under the badge under Semper Fidelis,and a few fans buy into this like the board as they are glad we're here and not in the conference and it'll probably take that again to turn these people.
Id say Caldwell could manage back to back relegations if he stayed here ! But as said, the board put their fate in him and he’s not going anywhere.
