I suppose we need players who can come up to plate now, not the future

I suppose we need players who can come up to plate now, not the future
Thought Pressley was looking towards the future with youth?

Pressley said they'd "look after Elliott" during his rehab. Hopefully he can make an impression then and earn a deal, if we are then able to offer them. I thing it's a crap decision to release him, though.

He's injured. We can't keep him out if charity. He was average most of the time.

Has it been confirmed?

I don't fancy eating my hat anytime soon. And as this is will only happen IF Sheff comes good, I'm pretty confident I won't be doing so anytime soon

I don't know. But it was pretty obvious that he wouldn't be getting a contract whilst injured in Pressley's CT interview a few days ago, although he will be here throughout his rehab.

When asked at the awards on Saturday what his plans were, he said something along the lines of "at Falkirk, finances meant we had to rely on youth. Here, I hope we can utilise youth, but added with some experienced". So who knows!
I read that as though he was suggesting our finances are (or will be) better than Falkirks

Pressley just another SISU puppet... Just like Thorn.... Full of Shit and a shit manager.... So much for having assurances.... Waggot/Fisher tell you which players are leaving... There's 5 been released, 2 gone back to Derby.... Anyone who puts in a bid will get there man so that's Baker,Murphy, and Christie gone... No one in re embargo.... Do the right thing tell them you are out of depth in league 1..... My club is dying on its arse and all we get is bullshit from Waggot, Fisher and Pressley.. Do us all a favour and fuckoff out of our club and city....

Don't really think we've seen enough to justify your opinion, and I certainly do not see him as a SISU puppet. But each to their own and all that

He has a point. The reassurances of SISU have flatted to deceive. The correlation between thorn and Pressley are uncanny

But how can you judge the guy on so little time especially considering the situation he's in

I think we should get a new manager in, someone who won't stand for Sisu's bullshit.......the sort of manager that will tell them to go feck themselves and leave when he's not happy with their decisions...

I would laugh, but it's just sad really isn't it? (our situation I mean, not your joke)

We had one of those in Robins! (not read the whole thread so realise your post maybe in jest)

All this moaning about letting Stephen Elliott go baffles me. First thing he ain't good enough. Second he is always injured, was at previous clubs and has been here. One good game at MK Dons doesn't make him a player for us. He was signed, i believe by Steve Waggott to fill a gap that needed filling and he was bobbing about searching for a club so we took a risk that was cheap. One of a few similar we or Steve Waggott signed last summer.

Personally I'm disappointed for him it hasn't worked out - I really liked his attitude and no doubt he had the commitment and professionalism - I understand why we gambled on him but sadly for him it's just all about recurrent injuries - good luck to him I say I do hope he finds somewhere to play and that he can keep injury free
