Pressley joins Brentford...


Section Q

Recommended Posts

Perth to Paisley

Brentford’s  moneyball ethos is right up his street!

He’s undoubtedly better at developing than managing players.- compare his Falkirk/Coventry records

They will get to the Premiership eventually - maybe even this season?

 

interestingly his son Aaron is a player at the club and the Brentford B team manager is Neil  MacFarlane who was once a team mate and assistant to Elvis at a few clubs.

 

 

[McFarlane was blighted with injuries and an early casualty in the Burley regime.

He could have been a really good player.

McFarlane was also Robbie’s Assistant manager at MK Dons]

 

Networks, eh!

Fast forward six months "Brentford FC today announce the departure of Steven Pressley as Head of Development. We'd like to thank Steven for all his hard work and wish him every success for the future"

I liked McFarlane as a player - maybe one for the unpopular opinions thread.

Good riddance to cr*p. Please stay south of the border for a very long time, jumping from one club to another, as you get the sack........🙏

Good to see a Hearts legend doing well. 

Define doing well? He's had more clubs than Tiger Woods and been sacked from all of them.

His son plays for them Aaron 

Noticed he is in the first team squad for them now, and was at us at 13/14 level. Anyone know why he left?

He definitely has something to offer football. Hopefully this role can be his niche.  Good luck, Elvis.

Should have been our manager.

Thank God he wasn't. He's failed in every managerial post he's had.

I still have a feeling that he’ll eventually rock up here as manager at some point.  Good luck to him at Brentford.

Liked him as well. Always reminded me of Neil Berry, pretty similar and very effective, hard working players.

Think it was because his Dad moved south to be Coventry manager.

Sounds like an excellent move for both parties.

Good luck to our cup winning captain and club legend. Hope he does well, I like Big Elvis.

 

Sad to see the bitter twisted brigade are STILL spewing after all this time. Shame.

The bitterness and hatred is oozing out that poster.

Maybe SP nipped his missus.

An early example of Craig Levein taking a punt on an injured player (on a part time wage until he was fit). Worked out better than Aidy White, but the injury issues never fully went away from memory.

Neil Berry type that couldn’t tackle his was out of a wet paper bag!
