Should sisu back him or sack him ? (1 Viewer)

[rupert_bear]

If there is a board meeting this week to discuss player recruitment, a big if I know, which one way or another will cost money, should money be given to Steven Pressley to sign his up to 7 new players it has been said or should that money be used to pay him and his assistants off and recruit someone else. In the long run although this squad ain't brilliant I feel a new boss altering the way we play, with the players on-side could turn us around and into a half decent team, for whatever reasons I believe SP has seriously burned that bridge and the football grapevine will know that, putting players off from coming here. If, as it looks to me Pressley has man-management problems that will surely raise it's head again and again.

SISU don't really care about football, they care about money. Pressley is still running down a 4 year contract with 3 1/2 to go. That will cost a lot of money to pay up. The only scenario in which he will go is if the hedge fund deem he is costing them a drop in attendance money outweighing the pay off. If City grab a win every 3/4 games and keep just above the relegation zone, SISU will see that as adequate for the moment financially.

The reality Is the Grapevine doesn't necessarily Just apply to Pressley doe It?

We've had three summers of huge turmoil re Squad under two different managers but one set of Owners .

There probably Is /Will be an Issue to an extent but It doesn't seem to stop some coming does it.

What those are may be lesser mortals though .

 

[rupert_bear]

So as you say wingy we have had three summers of turmoil with other managers too, so is it the manager or is it the guy controlling the manager, surely then the cheapest option for Sepalla is get rid of the controller.

The fat controller?

Don't see anything changing with either of them RB.

If anything Is going to change the one on the shakiest ground has to fall the rest will follow IMO.

That being Fisher.

 

[SkyBlueRuffian]

If a new manager came in he'd probably want more than 7 new players, so short term it would be more economical to keep Pressley.
If he gets a large chunk of the players he wants this Jan, and we're still shit, then big questions will be asked, namely how much is a one way ticket to Elgin?

 

[Hincha]

Give him this window, he's had meagre excuses during the transfer windows since he joined because of embargoes and sixfields. If the signings in this window are shit, then there are no excuses I'm afraid.

Sack the prat pronto before he takes us down to league 2.

I lost any respect for him when he compared Andy Webster to an international footballer,which came just after he said that some Cov players had more talent than Premier players.

28 caps for Scotland

tbf, not unreasonable to suggest Fleck (for example) has all the talent in the world, but it's something else that holds him back...

I don't think we have much choice here. If we sack him who would we get as a replacement ? Mourhino, Van Gaal, Wenger are all employed at the moment, but I have heard there are a couple of blokes at my local who would do it for a couple of pints a week.
In truth he has been given the poisoned chalice of working for Shitsu and no money to work with. He has my sympathy.

90% of managers outside the championship have no money to work with. That is par for the course

I never knew he played for Scotland , though I still think international standard may be pushing it .

The judgement call for those in charge is whether our league status matters overall.

You'd want to think so ,they may believe that he is the answer for us .

They may even If we slip out of this league,.

Fisher being a cold hard number counter hasn't to me shown Status really matters above the balance sheet, his plan possibly Is better

served from below where we currently are ,seems absurd but entirely possible given his previous actions /thinking .

That wouldn't bring us a new ground or a return of £15M for ARVO but It would retain control for him and them.

[covcity4life]

give him enough rope to either pull himself to safety or hang himself.

 

[Covstu]

keep him and back him FFS!

 

[Astute]

keep him and back him FFS!

Back him in what way?

It looks like we will have to get by with free signings/loans. He has had long enough and has signed enough players to show he isn't very good at it. We need a manager that can do it.
