Bowmans_Boot Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 In fact, he has been on radio shows like the now thankfully defunct Real Radio Football Phone In, and been really quite dickish towards Hearts. Now that the arse has fallen out of his managerial career, he's scuttling around trying to squeeze his way back in. He should have been told to f-off as soon as he sat down for the interview. Yep. But we are meant to welcome our club legend (but utterly shite manager) back with open arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It wasn't a gesture at the ownership of the club, it was directly in front of the Hearts fans to the Celtic support. Why would that be a gesture towards the owners of the club? The guy is a total snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deviskan Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The post of a "grown man"??? How about you grow a spine? ...did nasty Pressley beat his chest when playing for Celtic? Awwwwww diddums!

Beast Boy Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yep. But we are meant to welcome our club legend (but utterly shite manager) back with open arms. It would not make me stop my DD, or give up my ST, or any other brain-trust idea like that, but I would definitely be resentful of the appointment. He's burnt his bridges and has done nothing to warrant a return in a managerial capacity. He's a complete dickhead in all honesty and I don't want a dickhead who's a shite manager anywhere near the club I spend so much time and money on.

Lilly2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Definite NO to Pressley. For all those tiny minority of you vouching for him (clearly according to the polls) he was a a good player we enjoyed at the time. However as a manager, he is a useless recycled nut job (all this bravado act) with nothing on his CV to suggest otherwise. Please make me understand how a manager who has failed at Coventry and Fleetwood is in contention to turn things around at Hearts? Oh wait, what's even worse is we have potentially Dougie Freedman who has managed Crystal Palace (now in PL thanks to him), Bolton (not relegated thanks to him), and Forest (provided stability and developed the potentially best Scottish youngster among a few others).

Watt-Zeefuik Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The thing he did in the Celtic top doesn't bother me, perhaps because I wasn't there. But I don't want him because in most of his career he's failed as a manager even has he's dropped down the English pyramid trying to find his level. If he gets the job I'll back him fully. At least unless and until he shows a penchant for Cathro-like losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a passionate fighter of a player, and that extended to whatever team he played for. Get over yourselves ffs. Whether he is a good enough manager is in question, but he didn't betray hearts in any way. He stood up to Romanov and lost his job over it.

Beast Boy Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Can't help but wonder if Pressley had done exactly the same thing whilst playing for another team...for arguments sake Rangers, would there be the same pre-pubescent 'snake' screams anytime his name was mentioned? Please tell me it's not grown men acting in this way?! FFS, I couldn't care if he ran along the side of the pitch high-fiving the Celtic support whilst shaking his bare arse at us lot...if he was to come in and do well as our manager, that's all that matters (although I highly doubt it with his track record thus far in Management...even with the extenuating circumstances at the clubs he's managed before). But there's always a first time (he could come in, and it could just click)...and for that reason, whoever the Board choose to appoint will get my support/encouragement to do well. Personally speaking if he'd done that in any team's colours Id feel the same way. I can't speak for others though. I really dislike Jamie Walker for his current conduct.

ramrod Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hardly desperate, more factual and how the process should work. Have you never made a mistake in life after basing things on your past experience Geoff? The last appointment didn't work out, it has ended, we move on and find a new candidate based on what the club deem the requirements and what we can afford. What is desperate about that?If Big Elvis is the best we can afford or indeed aspire to we are Donald Ducked in afraid , his CV is nothing short of horrendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
