THEHonestman1910 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Could we even afford Pressley? I'd assume he would want a big budget for this league that we probably couldn't afford. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume he would want a big budget for this league that we probably couldn't afford.Maybe we are underestimating the intent from the chairman and the amount that he is willing to invest into the club.As far as I’m aware we are debt free now, so maybe it’s gamble time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume he would want a big budget for this league that we probably couldn't afford. Mentioned quite a few pages ago that in essence we should be an attractive stepping stone for someone looking to rebuild their career or take the next step. Pressley looks very much like someone in that category of needing somewhere to regroup, show what he's capable of and hopefully get a chance somewhere bigger 2 or 3 years down the line. We need to remain realistic that anyone who comes in and does a decent enough job whether consistent playoffs finishes or going one better will likely be poached at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that would depend on whether he interviewed and, if so, how impressive/realistic his vision for the club was during the interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to think his track record of serial failure would also be looked at. Talk of Pressley is surely a wind up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is certainly not the time to be gambling, for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no idea what the standard of football is like in that league and there’s no doubt he was entertaining enough in the documentary but that doesn’t justify interviewing him. On 02/03/2021 at 11:25, Superhursy7 said: Robertson's record looks okay with a 52.27% win rate but again what's the standard like over there and the logistics getting him here from India during a global pandemic make it very unlikely. Not that I'm aware of how good the standard is over there, but as an indicator his son Mason gets a game every week and he only ever reached the heady heights of playing for Peterhead over here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 IIRC the football payed by Prestley was decent and he's definitely the character to put a bit of fire in the players bellys, might work 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'm relatively favourably inclined towards Pressley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scenes if he's right though I only said his name as a mere suggestion because he popped into my head and half jokingly said him since he wasn't on the bookies list... Now he's 3/1,,,, oh no this could backfire...... Edited March 8, 2021 by rb123! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
