I've just spoke to a mate of mine who is a journalist for the Daily Record and asked him what Pressley is like as a manager. He told me that he is a top drawer manager, is a big idealist and loves the passing game. Route 1 is a big no no with him!

Club statement (albeit about 3 lines!).

With us being granted permission, is this to agree personal terms or to interview? Surely we wouldn't have interviewed without Falkirks consent?

Oh, and he looks a bit crazy on the picture on the article.....

Nothing against him personally and haven't read this thread but would be worried that as with many Scottish managers, we don't end up with a load of second rate Jocks being drafted in from North of the border.

It seems that some of the Falkirk fans have already got some of the posters on this forum sussed out.

There is the account that te players and staff are being paid from so i expect we can use that for 'recruitment' aswell.

Managers obviously as we're not allowed to buy players

Every time you look at the Falkirk fans slagging him off, please bear in mind how hilarious that Forest forum found it when we took McGoldrick, and how they were willing it to be a permanent move before he'd even kicked a ball for us.

I found it funny when one of them said how terrible English lower league football is. I've watched the Scottish equivalent enough times to know that McDonald would tear up their league and Platt would be starting every week. It's absolutely atrocious.

Think the SPL being a one horse race says all we need to know about Scottish football. And if anyone has seen any of Rangers games now the 3rd division is televised because of one team, its really not pretty football. Yes, Rangers may not be winning games by double figures, but the points difference is just crazy!

How Scottish football fans can criticise the English leagues is beyond me

We would cope comfortably in the SPL, it's dire.

Hmmm. Interesting turn of events. Pressley was a big mover with the bookmakers as soon as Robins was sacked. Considering we apparently did a rigorous search for a manager, this has a bit of a whiff about it.

More than a whiff if you ask me. Who tipped off the bookies and why did Pressley apply for the job whilst still under contract at Falkirk?

This is what Coventry fans are saying about it...

Cheeky f****** c*#ts.
Coventry City fans think they are bloody Barcelona. I've seen plenty games from down south on the Tele and your players aren't any better, just paid a lot more.

You don't apply for a vacant job while in another managerial position... In football anyways, you can say you're interested , It's usually you being contacted by the club who's position is vacant and you make the choice then

was a actually going to wish you guys good luck but seen as your an arrogant prick i will get straight in about you's. let me tell you something, english football at prem level and championship level is up there with the best and above our standard by quite a long shot, all because of money of course. however the level you guys are at is no better and is probably WORSE than the football we play considering enoch showumni scored 11 goals in one season down there, he couldnt get 11 shots on target up here. your not a big club any more so see your snide comments about our game you can take them and jam them up your jacksie. pressley is going to need a lot of luck with the likes of you around

Why would you register on a club forum to try and counter what would obviously be comments biased beyond all reason?

You'd never get anything else done.

It's not arrogance it's the truth. Every game I saw at your level (quite a few up at Dundee) consisted of two things: foul and hoof. Colin Nish is on loan to an SPL team from a club 2nd bottom of our 3rd tier for goodness' sake.

Not really, as the majority of people realise that doing what you're doing is more fruitless than a Scottish diet so it doesn't come up that much.

Comment from the Falkirk forum;

Remember, the way the first team plays is the same style all the youth teams play. Most of these players only know one style of play - to pass and move and keep the ball until it creates an opening.

At least we wont be hoofing it. :claping hands:
