Much of what Pressley talked about in the Telegraph about transfers was down to SW. He was basically playing Football Manager with the club overseeing the transfers of crap players.
I remember lots of people on here bigging him up as ‘a football man’. He wasn’t, his background was teaching. He was no more a ‘football man’ than anyone on here.

TBF when you consider all the appointments SISU have made he was the best of a bad lot. Not saying much I know but he’s probably the only one I don’t completely despise.

He probably to his credit had some empathy with the fans which is against the SISU grain. But his forays into the transfer market were a disaster.

Exactly. His two big calls were to bring Mowbray in and get us back to Cov. Both successes by the time he left but things went south when he left. Good lyck Steve.

If they get Blackburn promotion then the Venky's are officially better owners than SISU.

That’s going to hurt some. Between the Venky’s and the Oystons they’ve always been some posters default position as to why SISU aren’t the worst owners in football. Both currently allowing clubs in their ownership to do better than SISU can manage.
If Blackburn get promoted under Mowbray that goes a long way to confirm how bad things are at the club and the negative effect this has on the first team players and staff. If the Venky’s can create an environment for success with a manager who failed here that’s very telling. Not that anyone needing telling anyway. It should already be more than obvious.

Who has said the Venkys are worse than SISU? I have seen it said about the Oystons a few times but can't remember seeing it about Blackburn.

Oh, I thought you were just playing the common make something up game.
Would have been easier to just post a link to somebody saying it, wouldn't it?

Read some Blackburn forums and I'm sure you'll find an example.:emoji_sunglasses:

So nobody on here has said it then which is what Tony was implying?
Least he didn't need 2 accounts to make things up though I guess.

Would have just been simpler to not joke about no one having ever said it.

There’s been others and on multiple threads. Not sure why you’re pretending otherwise.

As I said, who? You are obviously trying to prove a point. I'm just asking who has said it. (Other than marty years ago).
I can remember people saying it about oystons but genuinely can't remember it being a thing that sisu are better than Venkys. Even that thread it's one out of a few.

It is a mix as someone thinks the venky’s are worse, some think SISU and most seem to think they are just as bad as each other.
