Yes this club needs stability top to bottom and I don't see any better options out there.
Good decision IMO. His signings might not have been up to much (although this season batch seem better) but I do think he's the right man for us
Agreed. Has his faults ?(especially transfers) but he's as good as well get and as good as we've had in recent times. I'd happily give him 3-5 years to run the club now were back.
When you get nothing to spend on players you get what you get, Some may turn out good buys others don't..:thinking about:
Then again spend loads they could still end up shit....
I think he contrasts badly with Robins just before him as well who picked up some excellent signings. And (for some before Grendel appears) Thorn had a few decent signings too. Pressleys yet to bring in any real new terrace heroes (though he has produced some with the academy) though from the looks of the likes of O'Brien and Nouble he may do this season.
Thorn had no decent signings.

Two of our best Fleck and Murphy.
Attempted to sign DMC before he was sacked.
I don't really think Pressley has had many faults? I think he's the best manager we've had in a very long time, and hes completely committed to the cause.
Yeh he signed a couple of players that were dog shit...but come on we were on a one in one out rule with the player coming in needing to be 75% of the wages of the players going out. Were playing in a crappy stadium in front of 1500-2000 fans, and the whole fanbase was alienated.
Didn't expect him to sign any gems really
Surely all the more reason to be effective with the money we do have?
Pressley's signings are poor according to Pressley, only one of last season's didn't get released or sold within a year, and that was his bezzy mate.
His issue is that he buys far too many, we've brought in 5 strikers this summer for example. He very much used the pebbledash approach to signing players.
Also responsible for a lot of the signings prior to his appointment as well.
Robins was hit and miss as well tbf. All managers are.I think he contrasts badly with Robins just before him as well who picked up some excellent signings.

4 strikers if you view McQuoid as a utility striker/mid. Which I think puts a different slant on things. I think last season it was desperate measures at times and we needed bodies, the pool he could select from was very limited let's be honest. Plus our scouting network seems non existent.
this year I think Tudgay was let's just get someone in as we had no strikers and seen as a short term solution. Tudgay was unsure himself whether he wanted football this year?
we do now though need to start being a bit more shrewd about signings. I would still like to see another central mid in there someone who can put there foot in and win possession.
