Never like to see anyone lose there jobs, but this is the business stage of the season and something had to change its a results business after all and results haven't been good enough simple as that. Presley is hard working, passionate and a nice guy but obv hasn't brought the right players in or got the best out of the current players he'll be the first to admit this! And is ultimately as a manager judged on this. Hopefully someone will come in get the lads playing in the right way and get the players confidence up..survival is the key for me now then get through to the summer and re-evaluate it all.
I'm not a fan of loan players I understand they can help and u can utilise them but for me and this includes contracted players. They need to play for the badge not themselves. It's all about the team. Team is successful then individuals are successful.
The board sell players but so do every club! It's a business. Players released myself included is down to the manager not the board
Not in football. The manager tells the board what players he wants and doesn't want. The board then act on this and try to get it done. Sometimes successfully sometimes not. It's diff if someone wants to buy a player the board will then have the final say as it could financially benefit the club but this is the same at most clubs. No manager wants to sell their best players but it happens. Any manager worth there salt wouldn't allow any player to come in or go out without them agreeing to it unless like I've said the money is to good for the club to turn down.
Not just my word Presley has come out publicly himself saying it was his decision
Ex-player in not blaming the board shock. It was Pressley what done it, etc.
I think most agree. His hands were tied in regards to finance (e.g. paying an actual fee) but he seemed to have his own way in getting in players. I think some of them are good. Jones, Samuel, etc. Some of them not so good.
So it was Pressley picking the players and got rid of Baker?
Its common sense that Baker would not say anything of what has REALLY gone on with the recruitment considering his former employers are still paying a percentage of his contract and would be up for breaking the conditions set out etc etc .............................
What's your source then?

Try common sense for one.....

I really should buy shares in tinfoil.
lololol paranoia
You have to laugh, someone who has been far closer to what is going on at the club than any of us comes out and says how it works but everyone on here knows better!
So your basing the fact Pressley didn't have much say on transfers on common sense?

No I am basing the fact on Bakers comments being what a fan would want to hear, not a former employee of SISU who is still paid a nominal salary as part of his contract when at CCFC would say otherwise he would be in breach of contract and up for litigation.

Sorry? what for speaking the facts not your constant drivel?
It could, of course, be the case that Pressley did indeed prefer O'Brien to Baker, so it was Pressley's decision to get rid...
He seemed to favour Petrasso above him towards the end of last season....
Amazes me some the intelligent posters we have on here all jumping at Bakers comments licking his arse, and taking his words as factual statements, hes just replying in the best way possible without causing any conflict with those who still pay his salary yes that is right, we still pay a minority of the contract cancelled for him to play for MK Dons.
So why would he come out and explain exactly what has happened, his answers do not represent the facts at our club but those at other clubs which are ran with football people at the helm.
But what baker is saying isn't what fans want to hear is it?
You have no evidence to support any of these claims do you?
You have no source other than your own belief, so forgive people not believing it. He would of been payed off from his contract before they terminated, that's how it works. We didn't even know he was going to MK so why would we pay a wage towards it?.
