I've tuned in in the vain hope they'd be broadcasting it.
They're not. Talking to a farmer in Cornwall about his massive Pig ! I kid you not ...:facepalm:

"Steven Pressley says he wouldn't have taken the job if he wasn't comfortable with City's financial situation."
Make of that what you will..........

Have their been any quotes from Pressley? Are we sure he isn't tied and gagged somewhere? Seems strange to announce a new man and not have him speak straight away.
like the pic of ernie hunt behind them,shame it's not donkey kick v everton,this one was v spurs with his left foot that hit the bar
Talks a good talk what I can hear of it. Shittest press conference recording ever! A host of microphones on the table and not one of them was connected to Sky Blue Player itself. Embarrassing.
I wish him well of course.. but I wonder if his naivety with regard to the SISU situation might serve him badly.. I hope not.
Why do you think he is naive? I'm pretty sure he will know more about the true situation than any of us. In Seppalla, Fisher & Waggott we have a better, more open, leadership team than we have had in my living memory.
How can you say Seppala has been open? Have you met her? Has she spoken at any fans' forum? NO
Why'd you ask if you knew the answer? He's obviously just grouped them in together and probably didn't mean her specifically.
I make of it, that he was picked as he came from a club where all the senior pro's had to leave and he had to make do with kids.
Same scenario here but at a bigger club.
My concerns are based around his statement that he is 'comfortable' with the situation... based on a 48 hour conversation with Tim, Steve and Joy.... I don't suspect that for the last 5 years he has tracked the gradual decline of CCFC to the point of almost extinction. That said.. what was he expected to say, he's hardly going to fall foul of favour on day one is he?
I wish him every success in the world.
I think the managerial appointment is a positive. Lets be clear on that.
However, how can you assert that Fisher is open? He was challenged on the radio last week and claimed he had paid £800K in rent - explicitly rent - this year. He hasn't. He claimed ACL had gone bust. They haven't. I could go on all night.
He may be many things, but to claim he's open is frankly preposterous

Can you show , or tell where he stated that.. I listened to that interview and I've read all the press about the current saga and I do t ever recall seeing that quote from him.. And he certainly never said that in the interview in cwr????
I heard him on the radio. I presume it was CWR. Many others on here heard the same. Perhaps they can comment.
He did call them 'loss making' last week in The Telegraph if that helps. Guess what? They're not
Anyone remember Pressleys defending in the Arsenal 2 Coventry 1 game (1994). It has horrid and embarrassing, and led to Ian Wrights goal...:facepalm:

As I say.. I listened to that interview on the radio and he never said ACL had gone bust.
I do recall him saying they had paid ACL 800k.. and i also recall him saying that in other articles.. but that is a statement je has been making for some time, and ACL have never denied this, despite them having numerous chances to speak up ..
If you are going to accuse someone of exaggerating or even lying, then your argument kinda falls down if you just make stuff up or exaggerate the truth yourself

Wrong. He made the statement about the £800K last week and specifically in terms of rent. Godiva came on here saying he didn't use it in that context and I pointed him specifically to the interview. To the very second. You'll also note that a notable poster from ACL posted specifically to refute the claims totally. So, again; wrong.
With regards the 'going bust' interview, I heard it myself. As did others on here. So we're all lying, eh? I don't know what station it was on, but perhaps someone will know. I'm currently driving back from Gatwick and trawling the Internet is kinda hard
