    Pressley away from Falkirk?

    Given permission to speak with Coventry, apparently.

    “@JaneLewisSport: #Falkirk have given #CoventryCity permission to speak to Steven Pressley. More on BBC Sport soon. #BBCSportScot”

    Just read a tweet from Mark Donaldson on this. Good news if he goes before Semi Final.

    Im shocked that a club of Coventry's considerable size are looking at Pressley.

    His managerial record is pretty average really and he hasnt exactly got Falkirk flying in the 1st Division as they are sitting 5th currently.

    Coventry are seriously skint and might not even have a home ground at the end of the season, plus I'm sure they will have taken to account the amount of young players Pressley seems to have brought through.

    Must have a good agent. Can't really see the Coventry headhunters saying "see if we can get that guy that has took Falkirk to fifth in the Scottish First Division"

    i remember him saying that falkirk would not get relegated with him in charge, he was very outspoken on this matter and he went public on his managerial brilliance with pieces in all the papers about how he was going to keep the bairns up...falkirk got relegated a few months later.

    I've heard that they like hairy fannies down in Coventry, must say i'm surprised that it's this type of hairy fanny though

    This could be good news for us if Falkirk go in to the semi managerless.

    I suggest Jumbo Jim goes back to Falkirk before the semi. Would be most enjoyable should we win.

    It's over a month until the semi final, If he goes this week then I'm sure they would have replacement in before the semi.

    They should maybe talk to John Mcglynn then ;-)

    It's not all about the short-term though. His philosophy is spot on and if he was given a bigger stage then who knows?

    LIke a previous Falkirk manager he loves the sound of his own voice and telling all and sundry how good he is. A more articulate version of Yogi but with less substance.

    I hope it goes spectacularly wrong for him at Coventry. The downside of that is as a media darling he will no doubt end up spraffing his pompous pish on the BBC.

    much cheapness, if it doesn't work, much cheapness to get out.

    Surprised the Yam job never went to him, mind you they have a queue as long as the turnstile for Graham Rix's hot tub lining up for the countries "hot seat" so they are not going to appoint just anyone.

    My Falkirk friend said exactly the same thing to me when he was linked to the United job.

    Mcglynn going in would be just as enjoyable should a comfortable win come our way.

    He'll be wanting to leave the sinking ship at Dunfermline.

    you HAVE to think there's better quality down south than the dreary, fool that is Steven Pressley.
    looks like a done deal though. Oh well, one dreary sod leaves and another will continue the role, Alex Smith. Monotone United.

    The football ideas that both Pressley and Hughes share are commendable but difficult to implement at the levels they operate at. I remember when the late Tommy Burns got the hook from Reading, the then owner said they could see what he wanted to achieve but there was no way they could afford the players to do it.

    I have not looked at the tables, but someone further up the thread mentions they are 5th in the 1st division. That says to me they are a mediocre 1st division side.

    And regarding the semi, they are a team we obviously need to respect but should not fear.
