Exeter City: Matt Taylor aims to eradicate squad’s “soft” tag

Taylor has met twice with the club’s hierarchy in his first week and a half back at the club as caretaker boss.

Former head coach Gary Caldwell – who left to take over at Wigan Athletic last month – played a large role in the club’s decision-making from top to bottom.

Since returning, Taylor says City – who have suffered financial issues in recent years – are now forming a clearer structure for the future operations of the club.

He said: “For whatever reason, things have happened for a period of time where no one has really had a handle on the control of the club.

“It sounds so strange to say, but for the two [board] meetings I’ve had, I’ve come out thinking they’re the right people involved.

“Everyone’s positive and there’s a clear plan in place and I think that plan has a bit more of an identity as a football club.

“It’s not just the footballing side that has got a little bit out of control, the whole club in general [has]. I don’t think it has been quite managed the way it needed to be. An intervention, of some sort, is needed.

“But I’ve come out of these two meetings with a positive mindset. I’ve seen from afar what the club’s been going through in recent times but I’m much more comfortable that the club is going to be sustainable and competitive.”
