jambo1961 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Managers don't jump from Falkirk to much bigger clubs in England if they've failed. If he'd failed there, his next job would have been Alloa or East Fife. Getting Falkirk relegated clearly isn't success, but it's not out of this world failure either. Falkirk are a small club, with small crowds, and they habitually go between the top two divisions. It's hardly a scandalous failure to be their coach on one of the occasions when they go down. They'll come up in the next few years again. And within a few years of that they'll get relegated again. Are you new to football? Did the snake no play for Coventry and he was a decent football player so maybe that was one of the reasons behind his appointment at CCFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a club legend. Left them for Dundee United (EDIT: who had just been relegated to the Scottish second tier), so can't have been a great spell in his career.

Debut 4 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I wish to **** they'd just get someone appointed. We don't half feck about. 3 weeks to get a new boss. They fire Cathro because he failed in the League Cup. So basically, they didn't really have faith in him otherwise he would've been kept on. He should've been sacked at the end of last season. Most clubs when they fire someone quite quickly know who they'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbee647 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He relegated Falkirk. Do you consider that a success? Plenty of dud managers get jobs after failing at other clubs.

Martin Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He has explaining to do regarding the Celtic incident but it happened a long time ago and when he played in Neilson's testimonial only a few years later, he got a very good reception. He gave it everything, every time he played for us and stood up for the club when things werent going well and how people were being treated. I look at it what he did when he was with us, rather than against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at it what he did when he was with us, rather than against us. For a strong character I put it down to a moment of weakness. Not one bit of me thinks he dislikes Hearts or went on to dislike us after leaving. He didn't do what he did because of that. Pressley might make a good coach or have been a decent player and knows football, but he can come across as a bit simple sometimes and is maybe easily led? I think he was drawn into the Celtic propaganda and flannelled their masses with his actions. A weak moment imo given his past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably the best gauge to the reaction he will get, there was no negativy directed at Pressley that day, there was a crowd of approx 9000 at Tynecastle that day, and I don't recall Pressley getting any abuse at all, much like the current situation with Walker, who in my opinion has treated the Hearts support with far more disrespect than anything Pressley did.Walker surprisingly has had a fairly easy ride from the support at the last couple of games, and that's fair enough, I expect any negative reaction to Pressley would also be minimal.

Darren Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He's not got a dreadful CV. Falkirk going down is hardly a huge shock, he did a decent job for quite a lot of his time at Coventry in almost impossible circumstances. Fleetwood wasn't great, but we're not likely to get anyone with an unblemished cv. He knows Scottish football, knows the club, understands the support, he's had a successful playing career, he's had experience of being a coach in a range of contexts. He's a good candidate. If he understood the Hearts support then a large number wouldn't hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker surprisingly has had a fairly easy ride from the support at the last couple of games, and that's fair enough, I expect any negative reaction to Pressley would also be minimal. Agree with what you say, the reaction in that game said a lot. Walker's actions have been very poor, then going back years we have had Paul Ritchie talking to Rangers news about wanting to play there despite being a Hearts player, Andy Webster got a rule invented so he could leave us for nothing to effectively go to Rangers, even Ian Black bet against us while a Hearts employee. There are probably a few other examples but people who have disrespected our club whilst employed by our club have done a lot worse, yet are universally acclaimed and in fact Webster was welcomed back right away. Although what Pressley did was very poor and shouldnt have happened, it shouldnt rewrite history and make him public enemy number one by some. Others have done worse, while we pay their wages.

Mdoug79 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Very disappointed we did not secure Freedman, Think we should of bit his hand off the minute he confirmed his interest. I think Elvis is a stick on for the job now as i feel his personality is something Levein will love. Certainly wouldn't be my 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice but I will get behind Elvis (or whoever gets the job) 100%. Our club needs us to. We are in great shape off the field and have the basis of a good team on the field. Whoever is in charge next needs us to get behind him from the start for our team to succeed and I for sure will be!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomaso Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 You can continue to talk in riddles if you like. The damaged goods market has worked well for Aberdeen, there's no reason why it won't for us. Even at a higher level, Celtic weren't going to take anyone from England who didn't have a reputation to rebuild. That's Scottish football. We're doing the same thing on a lower budget. Put simply, someone with a strong cv of consistent success is going to be out of our price-range. Unless you can think of anybody?
