Is that the same Alex Ferguson that nominates anyone scottish as being a good manager.....just like his replacement that he nominated that Man U still haven't recovered from.

IMHO he was just lucky to have these players scoring for fun. It covered over what was really going wrong.

Since Boxing day, I have witnessed the three worst away performances by a city team that I have ever seen in 40 years. Couple that with the Turgid efforts at home and it is a clear recipe for relegation.
He might well become one of the best managers in the country but I don't want my club to be relegated as part of his 'learning curve'.

Sorry but the best football I witnessed from a CCFC side in the last 20 years was the period under Eric Black...... SP last season didn't come close to that in terms of style, team performances or win rate and Black did it in a higher division
Just because two well respected fellas say good things about SP doesn't actually negate the standard of play SP has set up in taking us to threat of relegation to the 4th division. You don't have to be the worlds best manager but you do need to be a successful one and since January 2014 SP's record speaks for itself
Surely as big a loss as Clarke & Wilson were there should have been a cover plan set up by the manager, there were still other players scoring goals. Equally he never solved the defensive issues last season ...... given we scored goals for fun our goal difference was -3 at the end of the season. Kind of careless to throw away that goal advantage really.
I wonder if there is an element of mistaking team quality for excitement and winning during the first half of last season in L1

I seriously wouldn't mind seeing Pressley prove the decision wrong with a glittering future career, that's how much I like and admire the guy. But, facing the short term reality it had to be done, if only for the dead cat bounce that comes in these circumstances. The selections, formations, in-play changes and post game reactions all suggested that SP had "lost it" in terms of chasing a winning formula and was desperately and unsuccessfully scrambling around trying to find the answer. He had been given enough time, as much resource as was available (more than most at this level, just look around) and sadly had to go. I wish him all the best and hope he finds success elsewhere.

I will bet that Pressley will not be managing an english premiership side next season,,,,,,,,some morons posting such garbage should be confident

enough would then not put their money where their mouth was!.......where is Thorn again now????.......Man Utd......Chelsea.....erm!!!

The best football I have seen at the city was under Dave Sexton and Eric Black.
SP had the basis of a good squad that would have got us promoted. What RFC missed out was his friends at SISU cashed in on Wilson to soon and failed to invest when other key players left. If they had backed SP he might have gone on the be the manager some think he might still be.
Who ever gets the job will probably benefit from a dead cat bounce and avoid the drop but in a years time we will back discussing the next incumbent.
