Good article about the current turmoil at Sky Blues, manager situation etc. Snoz felt Pressley could have been a decent manager but had little help from the top adding we have the wrong people at the top leading the club down the wrong track, also said he would like to know who brings the players in the manager or Steve Waggot, is John Sillett speaking with some knowledge I ask myself. Went on to add he thought Trevor Peake currently a development coach at Leicester.would be an okay choice, yes an interested and perhaps veiled article.

Of course backin the day, the original plan was seeing Peake and Regis groomed to take over whenever Sillett moved aside.

Part of the reason Butcher got rid of em both.

It was Butcher what done it. He was the first of the almost continuing succession of shit ex-pros who thought they could manage.

Peake could have been worth a go back in the day, probably deserved it more than McAllister and some of the chancers we've had.

Wouldn't want his reputation destroyed now by it becoming his first and only management job, however!

Trevor Peake....now there was somebody who could read the game. Overlooked by England when they were desperate. Like a few in Sky Blue.

torchomatic · Feb 26, 2015

I think McAllister was probably the worst of the lot.

Sillett mentioned that with Oggy doing the keepers and Greg Downes the commercial side ?

torchomatic · Feb 26, 2015

I'm not one for sentiment really, but it would have been fascinating to see what that quartet could've achieved.

I still think the decision to sack Nilsson was right. Just the choice of who to come in instead was a wee bit crazy!

torchomatic · Feb 26, 2015

I agree. There's only really been two sackings I've been disappointed in: Black (still wouldn't have him back though) and Micky Adams. The rest deserved the bullet.

Wouldn't disagree with that but in fairness to him he had the trauma a dying wife to contend with, player manager/ manager was far too much for anyone under those circumstances. The club should have sorted it way before they did imo.

Thinking back, It was really Richard Money that was the force behind their partnership. Bringing in Jim Smith blew it apart pretty quickly.

torchomatic · Feb 26, 2015

True enough. However, the fact he's not done anything since suggests he wasn't cut out for it.

Seems like he's pulled himself back from the abyss then.

Just gone through this thread and there are some interesting points made by OSB58 regarding the ability of ACL to be able to provide any revenues to the shareholders until the loan / debt is fully paid even if CCFC were to own 50% of it.

Love Sillett, but can't agree with his appraisal of SP as a good manager.

Peake is an interesting shout. Him and bugsy should've played for England.

Gosh don't remember that one, but still a while down the road things have changed haven't they.
