Is six wins in twenty two games, in league one, good enough ?

You'd have to say 'no'. I'm not sure if the cash argument isn't a red herring though.

It's often reported that we have a 'top ten budget'. If you cut through the noise and take this at face value, the club should be around the top 10 league-wise for Pressley to be 'on track'. As we're careering toward the bottom 4, you'd also have to say Pressley is under performing against his prime objective.

If we have a 'bottom 4' budget compared to our peers then fair enough, but I don't think that's the case. The budget we're wasting on Tudguy et al hasn't been used wisely, and you have to assume they're Pressley's calls. If they're not and he's prepared to stand for it, he hasn't a hope of progressing in his management career. I just don't think he and his team are good enough.

People blaming the budget are the same ones who will blame Sisu for absolutely everything; like those who say he was forced to let Baker go, it's nonsense. It was yet another error from him in the transfer market. You don't have Simeone Jackson, Danny Swanson, Marcus Tuday and Frank Nouble sitting on your bench in League 1 if your budget isn't competitive.

Undoubtedly it's a difficult job with all the stuff going on off the field but this calander year has been totally unacceptable in terms of results and performances. He doesn't know his best team, he plays bizarre formations like the one at Donny which looked as though it was Thorn diamond but I'm still not sure, he hasn't signed 1 decent player as far as I'm concerned in his entire tenure, subs come too late, he's stubborn, he talks bollox, he refuses to drop Webster despite the fact he's appauling every single week. Lose today and enough is enough.

No not good enough should have been sacked months ago but it shows how rubbish his leaders are, to make it a good new year we need to remove Waggott,Fisher and Pressley and his whole team of coaches including the untouchable Oggy.

Agree with a lot of that.
