Hughsie Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 He certainly can talk a good game. According to a Burney forum I just had a look at, Sir Alex recommended him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parscelona Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I encourage all Dunfermline fans to e-mail Mike Garlick and John Banaszkiewicz (the chairman of Burnley FC) to inform them that Pressley's shite. He must stay at Falkirk, long live the reign of Elvis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) There is no way Pressley will get the Burnley job. No way. I'm astonished anyone believes this! Must be the same people who claimed with certainty Hughes got interviewed for every job in England. Edited October 24, 2012 by H_B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThankCrunchie Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm astonished anyone believes this! Ach, let us enjoy it. The thought of Pressley buggering off, no matter how unrealistic the situation, is a very pleasing one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm astonished anyone believes this! Must be the same people who claimed with certainty Hughes got interviewed for every job in England. On the other hand though, Hughes was never amongst the favourites for any job down south with the bookies, while Pressley is. I would be astounded if he got the job, don't get me wrong, but just saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm astonished anyone believes this! Must be the same people who claimed with certainty Hughes got interviewed for every job in England. Hughes been quoted from a Burnley forum also Post from said forum also - If Pressley is the limit of our ambition, we might aswell pack up and call it a day Perhaps if it was last season just after Celtic game then perhaps may have had some hope on the rumours but stranger things have happened, I'm sure Coyle got the Burnley job when his St Johnstone team were struggling......ok I don't think they were struggling like we were but were 12pts behind the leaders in 3rd place Fingers crossed, but I very much doubt they will go with someone who has one decent season in say 3 seasons an with no real English league experience other than a poor time as a Coventry player...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I can see why people who don't watch us would think that. He says all the right things and looks the part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the same people who claimed with certainty Hughes got interviewed for every job in England. Thing is, you could have looked at Hughes from afar and thought that pretty much every season was a success. (Watching the games told us the last 18 months was pretty desperate and overspending, but an Enhlish club wouldn't have seen that) Pressley, on the other hand, has had one high profile cup run with a decent defeat to Celtic, and everything else has been shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yogi deserved a better move than he ended up getting. The Ochilview season was poor but apart from that we progressed every year and, regardless of what some revisionists say, we played excellent football for a lot of the time. People decry his last season as shite, and whilst with our budget we should have done much better in the league, we reached the Scottish Cup final and the League Cup semi. The big difference between now and then for me personally is how much I looked forward to the games. I've waxed lyrical about it on here enough but 08/09 was my favourite season ever. It could be at least partially due to the age I was and the fact I had enough money and time to go to so many games, but I think the main reason was that there was so much to invest in that season. Under Pressley it has been dull as f**k, with the exception of Higgy, Duffie, Millar, Sibbs, Fulton and Farid doing some great things. We are not only shite but we are unbelievably boring. Pressley continues to say the right things though and continues to lower expectations so that people feel it is acceptable for us to continually get worse. Yogi wasn't the most intelligent sounding guy in interviews and was pretty arrogant but IMO his biggest problem with regards losing a lot of the support was that he raised expectations so much through doing so well. I realise this a lot of waffle so, in summary: Yogi = Good guy Pressley = w**k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The golden period you refer to Marshmallow is probably Latapy's swansong. Hughes was lost before and after without him. You have to remember Hughes replaced Latapy with BOB and the Slug. The sign of a good manager is a guy who gets the best out of the players at his disposal. Hughes and Pressley try to shoehorn what they have into their Plan A regardless of results. I appreciate you the Hughes years may be the formative ones in your FFC supporting history. I'm blind to any faults during Jim Jeffries reign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
