Pressley - on the edge? (8 Viewers)
- Thread starter Grendel
- Start date
Still firmly believe the Ricoh deal will only be temporary, why?
I wish I could say more but sometimes you just have to hold back and take a very deep breath.
Please just stick with it and have faith.
The flack doesn't bother me in the slightest because I'm just saying exactly what I believe.
I may be wrong but .......... HELP!

Anyway all you guys are great but particularly those travling to Bradford on Saturday.
I'll be elsewhere (hopefully with good friends) but you never know how things will turn-out, however fingers crossed.

I will always stick with City.
However they need to be back at the Ricoh and the club needs to buy ACL.
Hopefully Joy realises at some point it is unlikely that words break even point and promotion are not synonymous.
You have to invest to succeed both in and off the field.
It looks like finally now you may have the right people in place to invest in.

I was about to say that, to quote a post that many times is very strange.

Could you just point to something you have predicted that actually happened as you said?

The one about the ground was clearly stupid, the other one was a fair point about the quality of last seasons loans but was just put forward in an a rude and condescending way.

The last prediction concerning SISU that I remember getting wrong was when they said they were moving our club to Northampton. It didn't make any sense. But like the majority of us I find them very predictable although sometimes it can take months to happen.
Or did you mean RFC?

Pressley knew what he was getting into. The quagmire that is the club, he knew all the pitfalls all the off field problems, he`s not a stupid man, him and his agent must of known of the shit going on here, he knew the financial constraints, knew that he would be working with limited budgets and all, his history at Falkirk and the ability to work with youth and nothing is why he is here. Somebody sold him a dream/goal/aim and promised him time to deliver, whether he can whether he is up to it is a different matter, why would he give up all he had acheived or was acheiving their to come to us? Somebody here saw something in him to try and get him here, he obviously saw something in us to give that up and come to us and i dont beleive for one minute it was money.
The youth system is where it is at for the owners and the manager, strength in depth, better youth developement, long term better squad better team better sales! Think Grady and Crewe of old. If we can get promoted and develope decent youth to play and sell all the better. He is here for the long haul, win lose or draw we have him for the next 18 months, 3 yr contract which will be seen out, hopefully a success. Who knows.

Nooo - don't discourage him by asking for evidence, RFC's posts always cheer me up.

Not helped by the almost bigoted riposte re a "Scotsman" being brought in to replace Gregor, a point soon undermined by SP. I'm sure on replay the gent concerned will somewhat regret how he came over, I'm sure his point was well intended.

I think SP genuinely believes in the youth development and having a squad structure that allows them to breath and gives them the opportunity to develop.
Youth players will never blossom by only playing reserve team football. He is also knowledgable enough to know all players need to put in hard work at the right time and defence starts with the whole team pressing early to achieve success.
Admittedly, we shipped too many goals last season, but we did show signs of playing for the full 90 and turned a few games around in the last 15 minutes. Along with an attractive passing philosophy, signs that he is going to change the mentality of the club.
The adoption 3-5-2 shows he wants to make us more flexible and robust. Which if performed correctly should not hamper creativity.
Not only should we as fans enjoy watching youth develop at our club, we should also enjoy watching a manager learning and developing his craft.

....Pressley said himself last season that he'd made mistakes with his loan signings so its a moot point

No-one should have been rude let alone attacked the guy considering he's been kind enough to come out so much, a lot more than most managers I can remember.
I wonder if it's a bit of anger at the whole situation bubbling over and no games recently to shout at. Getting a general forum set up with Fisher and Waggot would at least provide a mechanism to let off steam even if it's not productive in other areas IMO.

Some people who attacked him are utter twats IMHO, not a clue, he is being dictated too by his bosses who pay his wages, like some of you who asked the questions are dictated to in your place of work by your boss.
FFS wake up people, we played some lovely attacking football and was exciting to watch last season, and dont give me all this bollocks of I could not see them, what you spent of attending the ricoh you could of easily sat on a club coach and gone to a game and saw.
Pressley has NOTHING to do with the politics that are hindering our club at present, but yet morons think its him who make the decisions.
Attack one the brightest young managers in the game and he walks, what then? who in the right mind would want to come in to replace him with these baboons running our club?
Pressley had no choice but to ultiilise the loan market last season, and he was lied too by players and agents.
Get a grip!

This is up there with stats like "We haven't beaten this team away for 79 years"
Look a little closer and we've only played them once.
