I know but it just seems that we are being pulled apart piece by piece. Getting fed up with it now!!

he is but we were at the Ricoh when we signed him and it was before we drastically cut our budget. There is also the fact we'd be without a proper manager for the best part of a month and the new manager couldn't bring anyone in he'd be stuck with what he has.
Some people are talking like Pressley is here because he is being able to mold the club to his ethos and build a long term future, I see no evidence of that whatsover, I feel like we are going to struggle this year, lose Pressley and relegation looks very likely imo.

I would say that until he goes and the calibre of any new CCFC manager is assesed only a fool would say that relegation is likely especially given we are at the start of the season
If he goes I think relegation is likely whoever we sign to replace him (especially as we are an exceptionally unattractive job choice atm), if that makes me a fool, so be it. we won't be in a transfer window for the new person to make any signings, we'd go the first month of the season with just a caretaker manager, the squad is tiny and shoeshring and there is reason to believe people signed to play for pressley and because they were told a return to the ricoh was likely, so morale would be bad.

This will be such a small market the telegraph article will have caused some money on the market. The Star have then probably ran a story based on the short odds with little knowledge. I am concerned that there has been no comment from pressley saying he is not interested.

@Oddschanger: Steven Pressley has today been cut to 10/11 from 11/4 to be the next Huddersfield manager.

I think Robins tipped Uddersfield off when leaving, knowing he could shit on us again
Won't believe it until it happens (if it happens) but his odds have got better by the way which is worrying

The difference is that we're completely back to square one. Robins had only been in post for 5-6 months whereas Pressley has had 18.

He was only favourite due to The Telegraph running a baseless story based on nothing. This is only and exclusively the product of one story in a Coventry paper based on guesswork and supposition

... given credibility because it's a Coventry* paper
*based in Birmingham and using the world wide web to source most of its stories

Are skybet anything to do with sky who are covering match tonight ?
Maybe in the pre - match digging interviews they have got wind of something, that's why they have the lowest odds ?

A baseless story based on nothing based on guesswork you say? I think you've covered all the bases.

You only start to take note when he bookies close the books to SP getting the Job.

But it wasn't baseless was it? He was favourite at the time they ran the story. He has remained favourite since the time Grendel claimed he'd fall off the radar. Face it, he got it wrong
Haven't read the full thread and I assume this has been covered... but bookies odds mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING regards to next manager markets. Seriously, don't pay attention to them.
So often a manager will go as low as like 1/5 or something and won’t get the job. Happens all the time.
I’m not saying SP won’t go to Huddersfield, I’m just saying that bookies odds have no correlation to the likelihood of him going.

According to Grendel, they didn't source the story from the web or anywhere, it was supposition and guesswork based on adding four and four and summing forty seven

They have an office in the canal basin Coventry.
You should read Alan Poole's article about SP, it says they have credible source who told them he was going..

Fair enough Local Jack. The point about how they source a lot of stories is fact though.

Pressley could put an end to this speculation with a phone call. Both he and the club are ominously quiet!
