Fool.

I have it direct from SISU that Steven Pressley is an anagram of Eric Black.

Pressley may not be the next Fergie,but then who knows
just because he comes from scotland and their football is not the best at the moment,what have we got to lose.we may not have a club come May

Think you got the wrong bloke mate, he played for two of those teams.

ajsccfc · Mar 6, 2013

He's talking about Ferguson there.

ccfctommy · Mar 6, 2013

Whoops just realised you we're in about Sir Alex.

Stafford_SkBlue · Mar 6, 2013

Falkirk manager before Pressley was John Hughes - now at Hartlepool and has worked wonders there since his appointment. Don't if there is any relevance mind you.

Sky Blue Sheepy · Mar 6, 2013

His name isn't Phil Brown = he gets a chance

Colonel Mustard · Mar 6, 2013

The wrong appointment, I feel. But it will be interesting to see how he does.

I was going to add 'Internet people' to be fair!

I disagree I think most cov fans will be massively under whelmed.

If he gets the job I will back him however I am amazed when I look at his record that he is in the last two.

Gray · Mar 6, 2013

Let's hope we can look back on this thread in a few months the same way we looked back on the Mark Robins thread

Why? The average manager has a win record of less than 50%

By your rationale we wouldn't take David Moyes at a piss poor 42% win record.

sky blue john · Mar 6, 2013

I don't know who half of you think we are capable of getting ?
We are in a transfer embargo probably untill the start of next season.
Accounts frozen.
basket cases for owners !!!

I take it that wasn't meant for me.

I have no interest in win ratios it's a load of tosh.

You have to look at the whole picture

And we are going for a manager that we will have to pay compo for who is currently in charge of a team who are 5th in league one and he has done nothing in his managerial career so far

cyril · Mar 6, 2013

And who was about to be sacked

torchomatic · Mar 6, 2013

Well, you never know. I was underwhelmed with the appointment of Robins and look how that turned out.

ccfclinney · Mar 6, 2013

Lets just trust waggott on this one, he has a 41% win record which is very good really.
who wanted robins before we got him noone..

Steven Pressleys sky blue army

It was you who used his record (and unless you've got a good knowledge of Falkirk then win ratios is all you can go on) to justify that the appointment was 'underwhelming' you wally

cyril · Mar 6, 2013

I have a terrible feeling about it.

Sure. No manager should ever be pre-judged. Success or failure seems to be randomly assigned. Mind you, this does remain a curious choice, especially given the movement of the bookmakers these past couple of weeks ...

Covcraig@bury · Mar 6, 2013

If he's in the last two, who the feck was the rest on the list ???
I would love to know !

Stafford_SkBlue · Mar 6, 2013

falkirk last two seasons
2010-11 SCOT-1 36 17 7 12 57 41 58 3/10
2011-12 SCOT-1 36 13 13 10 53 48 52 3/10

Last column is position ie 3 out of 10.

Sick Boy · Mar 6, 2013

The last time the fan's choice was given the job he turned out to be a dreadful manager.

Seriously though, who were people expecting to come in? Roberto Di Matteo, Nigel Adkins?

cyril · Mar 6, 2013

WhO was dreadful? Micky Adams? He was not dreadful

gspotgaz · Mar 6, 2013

If I remember rightly, Barnsley fans hardly gave glowing reports of Robins...

Falkirk must have one of the lowest budgets in the SPL and are competing against teams they're never gunna keep up with. Gotta be patient with this one.

Sick Boy · Mar 6, 2013

I agree, Adams was not dreadful at all. He was hardly the fan's choice though, it was a PR stunt by the club after the sacking of Black and a way to avoid themselves of any blame.

I was thinking of the more recent fan's favourite...

I think he meant Andy Thorn

cyril · Mar 6, 2013

Thorn, jesus. I wasn't around for that debacle

rupert_bear · Mar 6, 2013

If he is half as good as the last person we got someone from Falkirk he'll do for me.....who was ?

deanocity3 · Mar 6, 2013

Don't be cruel on Pressley
he may be the devil in disguise
if it don't work out he can sell rock in town at the Jailhouse
