bobskeldon Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thinks he's better than Scottish football, wank. Have you watched his interview when at Falkirk about Scottish football? Stephen Pressley gets where the source of the problems in Scottish football lie. I would be delighted to have him back at our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambogaza Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Given some of the names that have been mentioned already, I'd be disappointed. Plus he'd split the fan base and that's not what we need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamos Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I worked with Elvis on his presentation to use at interview last year. Over 4 days it was a pleasure to both work with and learn from such a driven ambitious man. He is obsessive about football and from the content of his presentation he wants his team to play football the correct way. He was neither arrogant or difficult and had time for a few laughs with my family. This is his character off the football pitch. On it you need belief, arrogance and a large dose of it too. I'd be delighted if he was successful, the man is simply obsessive about football and he would prepare the team every match with exactly what is required and how to win. Good luck Elvis.

scott herbertson Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I am still in the pro-Elvis camp, his chest thump (which was a bit of a trademark of his already) was aimed at Romanov. Not the Hearts support, and not Hearts as a club. I believe he still holds strong affections for Hearts, but in my opinion he'd be the wrong choice. To date I don't think he has demonstrated much ability as a manager, and that would put him behind a few of the other names for me, but my main reason for not wanting him is that at this point, we need a head coach who will unify the support. Elvis is not quite the man who would achieve that. Exactly where I am - the greatest captain of Hearts I've seen or am likely to see, but not proven as a coach If he does well coaching or managing another side that would be the tune to consider him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Loblaw Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 There's identifying problems, then there's finding a solution for them. Exactly, Cathro had a vision but couldn't execute it. Seeing and doing are different things. Everyone knows he will divide the support as well, so that might be worth a risk if he was an outstanding manager, but Pressley has done nothing in management to suggest he deserves the job. He has also showed utter contempt for the Scottish game when he was at Fleetwood, no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Interesting to see what he brought to the table at the interview. I certainly would not discount him getting the job, The chest pumping stuff was clearly aimed at Romanov and there were more than a few Hearts supporters at that time that shared Pressleys frustrations with him. It was a silly thing to do as I'm sure that he is now well aware. As for Pressleys managerial qualifications, we'll some of the very best had spectacular failures before coming good.

karipidis Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Out of the ex players list he should be the ONLY choice. Miles ahead of Hartley (who was also a wonderful player for us) in my opinion. Whether there are other better choices depends on who else they are actually interviewing. Glad to see he has put himself forward. He's certainly a man with with way bigger marbles than those in our support who got overly offended by a heat of the moment incident after totally justifiable frustrations at the way the lunatic owner was running the club. We certainly need a no nonsense individual leading us given the shambles we have become. If Elvis gets the gig he'll have a huge job with big expectations and pressure but definitely my support to turn things around. How is he a 'miles better' candidate than Hartley? Hartley has achieved a lot more than Pressley as a manager, and would not divide the fans as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Elvis and Hartley are legends but both haven't done enough in their managerial careers to even almost be considered for a job as big as Hearts. Hartley especially given his end at Dundee. The standard of CV we are receiving pretty much rules either of them out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboJoker98 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Got a lot of time for him given he bled maroon for 8 years. If he were appointed I'd over-look 'that' incident.

Captain Canada Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Coventry are in a lower league now than when he was in charge and Fleetwood are in the same one as when he was there.

CMc Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I think Levein owes him an interview from courtesy as he was an excellent captain for him. Levein also jumped ship when he saw Romanov coming, so is unlikely to hold it against Elvis that he did so later. I'd hope, given his managerial record, that it is just a courtesy. He'd further divide the support before a ball was kicked. There's better out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Tarts 1874 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 No problem with Elvis. Our club has become soft as putty, perhaps someone of Elvis' character to take the dressing room by the scruff of the neck and sort out the imposters is what we need at this time. It seems there are a number of posters who are under the impression that we have a large budget for this appointment, however with the funding shortfall for the new stand I suspect we aren't in a position to push the boat out. I think Elvis has the potential to be another Jim Jeffries for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
