Overview
- Exeter City confirmed Taylor’s return on an interim deal to the end of the season, with him taking charge immediately after Gary Caldwell’s move to Wigan Athletic.
- Taylor’s first game back finished 1-1 against Burton Albion, leaving Exeter 15th in League One and six points above the relegation zone without a win in eight matches.
- He told BBC Radio Devon it is unlikely he will stay beyond this short stint, citing family commitments and his home base in the south of Sheffield.
- Interim board chair Laurence Overend said Taylor’s familiarity with the club, staff and model should reduce disruption after Dan Green’s spell as caretaker.
- Longer-term decisions remain constrained by finances, with reports of a potential £1.5m budget reduction and a Supporters’ Trust loan of about £600,000 to cover an overspend.
