Pressley: We Have Too Many Players On Loan (3 Viewers)

It's an indirect question?

Who should I be asking then?

But there is another question. I know this won't happen but if we recruited Tony Pulis as an example and said okay Tony get on with what you have player wise, no recruitment whatsoever signings or loans, I believe he would get us winning more than we lose fairly quickly, wouldn't be pretty, pretty football or easy on the eye, but it would be effective, win games and points. The manager makes the difference between being okay or crap.

Take it from me, Steve Waggott dictates almost 100% the players we can and can't sign, this is where I fall out with Steven Pressley, he should have the balls to say, forget the so-called official reasons given this is the main reason why Robins pissed off so early. What I believe Waggott does is mass signings, mainly freebies, hoping to pick the one little gem he can cash in on later.

Difficult though innit.

Yeah, on the face of it, pressley's underachieving. The club's general trajectory is down though. We've had blips under Black, Adams (Dowie?), Robins and Pressley, but they've been half season blips before normal service is resumed.

So in that case, changing the manager might see a shift in results short-term, but unlikely to fix things long-term.

So then if Pressley is on board with a youth policy and building some kind of foundations, the only reason to get rid of him is if someone else can go along with that, but also improve the first team results long term.

And our history suggests they won't.

But, again, we're not exactly overachieving on the pitch atm... and it's so dire to watch as well, we can't even pretend we're being entertained!
