He needs to go and here's why:
Tactics are woeful. Distance between midfield and Madine is crazy, mainly because both of the central midfielders are just in front of the defence and the tempo is so slow.
Nobody really understands his 'Coventry way', I think he tries to keep it to 0-0 until 70 minutes, then tries to use our "superior fitness" to try grab a goal. Only problem is that we rarely hold out.
Keeps changing his mind. 5-3-2, 4-4-2, 4-5-1, don't think any will work with such a weak midfield.
Movements in the transfer window have been mind boggling. Signs 6 strikers and plays 1 up top, while not addressing central midfield, which was clearly a problem.
Outwards, let our only midfield outlet in baker go and players who play better when they leave (Clarke).
Man management. Puts players in a "bomb squad" then subsequently brings them back in when he realises his signings are just as bad, can't go down well with the players.
Record. Think that speaks for itself.
CCFC fans do not learn from history - I despair.
Elsewhere but every admiration & sympathy who travelled, however just one game.
Previously 6 unbeaten without every playing great, grinding out results.
The key is still consistency and stringing together a good run of consecutive wins!
Will we do that? Who knows but just important to stick with the manager and his long-term plan and vision.
I wanted him to stay but after today he has to go. I loved the passion he showed in his post match Worcester interview but where has the action been ? I've seen probsbly less effort from the team since then. The performance today was the worst I've seen . Ever. Either back ways or sideways passing every time. Players taking 5 mins to decide where to pass. Players walking around the pitch no one closing down and no subs till the game was gone. Everyone could see what we needed other than pressley. You can't always blame the players and I've been an advocate of it being players fault not managers but he doesn't have any tactical awareness and his man management must be terrible of the players refuse to work on the pitch. The players look like they don't know there roles and thatS because of sheer confusion. Yeah there's nobody that could probsbly do better but I'd rather take a risk I mean we can't get any worse can we.
Pressley once said "we went down with a whimper and that can never be said about a Steven pressley team" unfortunately we didn't even whimper today we just went down and it's fast becoming a trait of a Steven pressley team
I went today and maybe I'm being overly negative becayse of the shite drive home but I'm utterly degected tonight. Anybody agree with that assessment ?
I do think there are better managers than Pressley, however look at our squad.... Our players are the worst ive ever seen at Coventry city. They are clueless league 2 players, how can any manager get results if the players arnt up to scratch?
My head thinks we will go down and my heart obviously wants us to stay up. Chesterfield will be another loss on Sunday im afraid. Im putting money on us to lose again!
I will not be wasting my money at all going to games until something drastic happens
And who chose the players in our squad? Are they as bad as the system he wants to play makes them look like? Did he just bring players in without thinking where they would play?
From what we have heard our players budget isn't bad for this division. Enough for a decent manager to get us near the top of the table. We should be doing much better. We should be getting shots on target. We shouldn't be getting outplayed by a non league team with part time players. Or should we start on the subs that he has made?
from people who have spent the last couple of years lying to us and misleading us at every opportunity.
I think that even with a budget it would be hard to attract anyone with some ability to get us promoted. Our club is now well known for being an utter joke. The only thing players look at Coventry for is a stepping stone to go to higher clubs. Our owners have no ambition to get us promoted nor do the players. Put it this way If football was my career and I had several league 1 clubs interested I would not be going to Coventry City.

The squad is nowhere near a relegation squad, Pressley is just making them look like it at the moment. A decent manager would oversee a steady climb into the top half, probably not play offs as Pressley has already fucked out season up.
Hopefully he is sacked sooner rather than later and not given the chance to blow our budget again in January.
Stand by everything I said up to now - why would we sack a manager with 3.5 years to go on his contract?

SP is deluded he said we dominated possession well according to the stats we had 48% and no shots on target.He can't defend that comment.

Speaking of steady climb, look at Scunthorpe since Robins took over on Oct 14th at which point they were in the relegation zone.
They are now above us in the league having played 9 won 4 drawn 4 and lost 1 and they are still in the FA Cup having dispatched Forest Green & Worcester.
The vast majority of supporters, and posters on here don't realise the point you are making is true. Why would they "Get rid" when they have a nice "Little earner" that costs them nothing. Well pointed out Cloughie mateMisled you are 4 year contract to see out the break even years whilst sisu pick up £3.5 million management fees every year. Why do not some actually get it sisu are not interested in CCFC as long as it don,t cost them anything, Nice earner for sisu

Why is Pressley an earner?
Pressley isn't. The £3.5m pa management fees are.Why is Pressley an earner?

You can only spend 60% of our turnover, so the 'management fees' are largely irreverent.

Unless the 60% isn't available because its all gone out in management fees.
I doubt it. iIRC OSB said it's mainly an accounting thing, and no actually cash had been taken out the club (as is the interest). And as we haven't seen this actual years accounts we don't know there's £3.5m fees anyway.
Waggot told us that our wage bill is about £2.7m, our turnover will be about £5m so that's about right.[
