Sisu's fault not Pressleys as we know he doesn't want them.

Yes very strange. After all Pressley told us all quite clearly that he doesn't like loans.

Got to say most of our players are championship loaned. Nouble, Madine, Jackson mcquiod, tudgay? All championships players or from those clubs. Most clubs in the division would love these players but they are crap? Why? Is it actually this is their level or lower or don't they care and SP isn't doing the business?

They dont respect him, the club, the badge and the history. No affinity, no ambition, no self respect. Take the money and go home, easy.

Robbins had a 50% win ratio - Walsall have Bonsor as their owner who they despise and the manager works in very restricted circumstances but he deals with it.

Robins was only here for the very beginning of operation devastation before it started to really pay fruit and turn us into a club with no assets, no fans and no hope.

That's catchy. Maybe Fletcher should have gone with that rather than Operation Premiership?

Whoever's fault it is, yes, we do have too many loanees. What you want is 2 or 3 quality ones in key positions, certainly nobody who doesn't make your best XI as they will soon become disinterested. That malaise then impacts upon team spirit and effects the rest of the squad. We are now rancid.

I didnt put fact because its my opinion. How the fuck can you possibly know I'm wrong? How did Robbins last job work out for him? He was there long enough to make a measured judgement so you call it?

Only Madine and Nouble are actually close to Championship material out of those 4, though. Tudgay was once, but that ship's long sailed. Not disagreeing that the squad is underperforming, though; Madine and Nouble with Jackson and McQuoid as backup should be good enough for the top 6-but they get no service, due to the way that we play.

I'm saying we'll never know how good he is as long as SISU are here and the same goes for whoever follows him. SISU dont create an enviroment that breeds success so eventually who ever replaces him will also fall down.

It was a bit of a harsh sacking IMO. That would have been success for us under, say, Coleman!

This City side reminds me a bit of the Gary McAllister Leeds side in L1, who were summed up by their defeat to Histon Town on a muddy pitch. Leeds had Snodgrass and Delph in their side, Histon had John Beck as Assistant Manager.

Leeds stuck to their tippy-tappy passing game, mostly side-to-side and in their own half. Histon looked better organised and better motivated, as, judging by results, were the majority of other L1 sides with much smaller budgets that Leeds encountered most weeks in L1. McAllister was sacked just before Christmas and Grayson came in and took them to the play-offs and promotion the following season playing a much tougher, better organised and direct brand of football (witness Preston now-3rd and probably with a not much bigger budget than us; a nasty side to play). Another example is Robins after Thorn and Shaw. We need a manager who organises and demands respect from his players, who knows how to get results in this division, not an ideologue.


I like Pressley as a man, love his passion for the club and I do like passing football, but this is League 1. We need to play effective football-which we often did last season, having Wilson's pace as an outlet for longer balls and counter attacks. The side being so devoid of pace now removes that dimension, and you cannot be an effective side in this division without pace. Or without grit and muscle.

Pressley has had to recruit in horrendous circumstances, but whatever his "miss" rate (and it's high), you have to say that this squad should be performing better than it is-and under a Robins, would probably be 10 places higher in the league, at least. Sadly, I am just about moving around to the view that Pressley does have to go. I probably would still give him until Christmas given that results have picked up slightly, but he has to actually look like he's capable of turning this squar around. At the moment, I don't see how he can be.

But that said...what has any CCFC manager sacked by SISU gone on to achieve in the game since? Diddly squat. You could maybe argue that Coleman is doing OK with Wales, but he's not, he's just got Bale and Ramsey. And we all know that Coleman's shit.

OK Boothroyd-Northampton L2 play-offs, but sacked the following year when in the relegation zone, so not really a success!

No need to get defensive sweetheart. From Craigs earlier post its pretty clear he's dumped you. Perhaps its time for you to move on Covmark seems interested. Why dont you send him a PM?

Wow you're pathetic, resorting to play ground antics. It's because even you yourself know that you are on the wrong side of the argument.
