Wicked Queen “ We have to close the Diamond mine as we are not making any profit”

Prince Charlaton “do not fret my queen, We will dig a new mine outside the City limits”

Wicked Queen “ But what about the miners? They say they will not travel outside the City limits to work and the diamond board may not let us continue to dig”

Prince Charlatan “ I have a cunning plan – I have been screwing Snow whiter than White for some time now and she will clear the way with the board. The workers will see the error of their ways and they will come”

Wicked Queen “ Oh my Prince you are such an evil man – I like it”

I'll give it to Pressley, he can certainly talk a good game and putting a positive spin on how he sees the future panning out.

Reserving judgement until about Xmas taking into account his hands have been/are tied. It must be hard to motivate a team who don't know where they're playing plus having 6 individuals who have been told they are surplus. Stupid move at a stupid time IMO.

I wonder how much these 7 players are likely to cost? Lower Scottish leagues under the age of 23 perhaps?

Don't see what's wrong with him wanting to bring players in. The squad was too big, and doesn't have enough variety. Obviously we need to embargo lifted, but don't know why people are using this to bash him. He already said he wanted to trim the squad from 34 down to 24 and make changes.

Don't think people are bashing him Stu.

Just think they are throwing in a bit of realism as to what will actually happen.

Or in this case, won't.

So what are the revised numbers now?
We had a squad of 34 that he wants to reduce to 24, and he wants to bring in 7 new players. That means he has to get rid of (34+7)-24 = 17 players (= HALF of last seasons squad will have to go).
So how many players has he actually got rid of so far, which means how many players still have to be got rid of?
The atmosphere when they get back from their summer break is going to somewhat subdued methinks!

He's already told them who he wants and who he doesn't. Out of that 34 he's already got rid of a fair few.
This was the squad

1 GK Joe Murphy
13 GK Chris Dunn

2 DF Jordan Clarke
5 DF Nathan Cameron
6 DF Kévin Malaga
22 MF Josh Ruffels
24 DF Richard Wood (vice-captain)
25 DF William Edjenguélé
26 DF Jordan Willis
21 DF Cyrus Christie
28 DF Joe Henderson
31 DF Jordan Stewart
35 DF Aaron Martin (on loan from Southampton)
39 DF Blair Adams

4 MF Conor Thomas
7 MF David Bell
8 MF Carl Baker
10 MF John Fleck
11 MF Gary McSheffrey
12 MF Steve Jennings
16 MF Adam Barton
27 FW Billy Daniels
30 MF Will Roberts
32 MF Franck Moussa
34 MF Leon Lobjoit
36 MF Louis Garner
38 MF James Bailey (on loan from Derby County)

9 FW Cody McDonald
14 FW Stephen Elliott
15 FW Leon Clarke
17 FW Callum Ball (on loan from Derby County)
18 FW Shaun Jeffers,
19 FW Danny Philliskirk
20 FW Callum Wilson

Of that we have already lost Stewart, ball, bailey, Elliot, philliskirk, wood, Roberts, Henderson, ruffels, Martin and Jeffers, which means we now have a squad of 23 - are you happy to add just one more with no players leaving?

At least he has players in mind. Maybe if he can bring in some players who will suit his style of play better, we will have a better chance.

Andy Thorn mark 2 in so many ways


Not really. I've seen him actually take a training session. In interviews he can actually speak.

Pressley gets knocked for wanting to bring in 7 players, triffic !! Yet some wankers on here still knock him, ffs, as manager what do you expect him to say. I get the distinct feeling the same scrotes will be wanting a bit of failure to increase their venom towards him, sad bastards.

There doesn't seem to have been anything other than that 'I liked playing for Cov' tweet he made. Nothing official's been announced yet, at least.

Pressley: “The embargo will only change once the club exits administration".

Forgive me for being pedantic, but as I understood it we are under a transfer embargo because we have failed to submit corporate accounts* (yet again:facepalm:).

* 'This is normal business practice' - Tim Fisher, seasons passim ad nauseam.

Even if we were not in admin or under embargo, What player of any quality is going to sign for us. We have no ground, the club has no money and even who owns us is up in the air. So who the heck would they be being paid by?

If we do get new owners (please God) Pressley will be gone. I have no faith in the guy. Even when he is on tv he looks like he has just woken up of a park bench
