3 1/2 year deal. is that optimistic - or will he find another role within sisu should the club fold

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Welcome, any news if that Mcfarlane guy has joined as assistant?

 

[Skybluegarns]

Welcome aboard Elvis!
You have my backing. Time to galvanise our season & regain a sense of pride in being a Cov fan. PUSB

 

[Sterling Archer]

Good luck to him, I'm sure our fans will give him the support he deserves.

 

[Rich]

Just needs his own song now then. Wonder if there has ever been an artist with a similar name singing about something that's Blue?

I reckon this appointment has got Falkirk fans all shook up........uh huh.

I did just go there.

 

[runner]

All new managers get my vote and support, but I have to confess, this particular appointment doesn't fill me with any confidence whatsoever. Hope he proves me wrong, but average manager for a very average team me thinks ... (

 

[torchomatic]

Lengthy contract too, which is a great statement of intent.

You have no idea though do you?

 

[Otis]

Good stuff.

Let's hope he's the bloke to take us forwards and if so, we can hang on to him!!

What doesn't fill you with confidence? The win % higher than any of our previous managers? The international management experience? The commitment to yyouth and progressive football?

I bet you would say the same for anyone who isn't Black.

The shortsightedness and downright idiocy of our fans annoys the hell out of me. Exactly who did you want?

 

[ccfcmad1]

Good luck to him might not be everyones first choice but with whats going on im surprised anyones willing to walk into the club, lets all back the guy who knows he might be just the guy we need PUSB

Reg Pressley lead singer of the Troggs(died a couple of weeks ago)
Wild Thing,love is all around,

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Sisu surprised me again with length of appointment. Real statement of intent and could work in their favour if acl/CCC read things that way. In fact not surprised dumbfounded

 

[dadgad]

He's clearly mad.
Good luck to him.

 

[torchomatic]

Yep, I agree Pete. They wouldn't have given him such a long contract if they expected us to go under any time soon. They did a similar thing with Robins too. I'm really happy with this appointment.

 

[ccfcdale]

I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of pressley, so hopefully if they play shit he will tear them a new arsehole, which means they wont play shit

 

[woody11462]

Wonder what his minimum fee release clause is if he's going well???

 

[TommyZoom]

Welcome aboard, Elvis.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Elvis has entered the building!

 

[fernandopartridge]

Good luck to him. First Scottish manager since Eric Black funnily enough.

 

[WYKENSKYBLUE]

Good luck SP you have my backing! PUSB

 

[deanocity3]

what a scuffy sod as well,do your bloody tie up,comb your hair and have a shave,put on a white suit .....thats better

 

[CovMatt1987]

good luck and welcome - I would be willing to bet that not one of us knows enough about him as a manager yet to write the guy off so lets all at lest try and give him a chance ay?

 

[ajsccfc]

The gruff Scottish regime has begun, and I for one am all for it. Irn-Bru on tap.

 

[MusicDating]

I'd much rather have the potential of a young eager manager than a Phil Brown or a Gary Megson, so good appointment imo.

He's just got to work out what to tell the players when we're 1-0 up...

 

[covcity4life]

in pressley we trust

 

[Sky Blue Sheepy]

I wasn't overwhelmed by Robins' appointment and that didn't turn out too badly. Welcome aboard the Titanic Mr. Pressley!

 

[SkyBlueRuffian]

I once witnessed Pressley make a group of blokes move out of his way in the Burges, Cov City Centre, it's a good sign that he demands respect and takes no shite off no-one.

 

[LoyalSupporters]

Steve Pressley Sky Blue Army!

 

[Tank Top]

Lengthy contract too, which is a great statement of intent.

By Who'm Torch ???....

 

[skyblue1523]

SP new manger does anyone know what type of football he plays is he a attacking or defence mind manger,3 1/2 year contract does this blow mr fisher scare tatics out of the water cant work my club out at moment .pusb

 

[CovisGod]

I'm chuffed to bits at this appointment, a young hungry manager. As above I'd much prefer that than a has been that's just after a paycheck.

Welcome Elvis !

He likes to play football the right way, I.e. the passing game, he's a big supporter of the Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund blend of youth and experience, and the fact the clubs pulls in the same direction from the academy right though to the first team.

He likes to give the younger players a chance, he recently picked a 16 year old to play for Falkirk. So I imagine the likes of Willis, Thomas and Wilson will be given more games. .

 

[skybluelee]

Pleased with this appointment. I don't think we could realistically have got anybody better. Much happier with a young, ambititous manager as opposed to the old has beens we had been linked with (Brown, Coppell etc).

Huge 4 games coming up, all of them winnable on paper. 10 points from those and we will be snapping at the heels of 6th place again.
