So how much did all those players cost.No money? He had Saint Carl, Moussa, Clarke and Wilson didn't he? No fans? Didn't he have one of the best home record in the decade at
Sixfields?
Interesting article.
"...At Coventry we reduced the playing budget by 60% in two years - that was four years work that we put into two."
"I'm very proud of the work that we did but my next job has got to be one where I'm not asked to tidy a club up."

Glad to hear it.
Shame they shit on the man who had to make a go at it with no money or fans to help him.
Yes but like has been mensioned before lost his best players.Did you watch any of last season?

Do yo expect us to keep playing the way we are now if we lose or current best players?
I hope you are right or the same posters will be back on here again wanting his head.I'd have faith in Mowbray to replace them, never had the same faith in Pressley.
This team now is largely a team Mowbray has built over preseason, Pressley inherited his team and had no idea how to rebuild.
Pressleys main recruitment took place last summer. Attracting players to play at Sixfields in front of 1500 people would have been extremely difficult. His use of the loan market was pretty horrendous but the club had next to no scouts in place. Towards the end he did pick up Pennington and Samuel on loan but I still wouldnt trust him too much in the transfer market.

The problem with Pressley was he lived in an alternate reality where poor players were considered rock-solid, where good players were discarded as useless, where poor performances were praised instead of criticized, where tactics that didn't work were persisted week after week after week, where a single striker at home was the preferred tactic and where not a single shot on goal in 90 minutes was considered perfectly acceptable.
Its no surprise one of the first thing Mowbray does was bring in a trusted friend to sort out the scouting
He could only do that because he has complete control of the budget. A luxury SP didn't have.
His interviews were ridiculous, I think a lot of people losing the faith in him was because of his interviews after a poor performance. Football fans don't like to feel like there being made an idiot of or that someone is trying to pull the wool over there eyes and that is exactly what it seemed like he was doing. He'd have gotten more support near the end of his time here if he didn't keep insisting we were outstanding and was more honest in his interviews.
What is your point?
Not sure I was looking to make a point but, clearly, you have one to make?
