    Pressley

    I'm being absolutely serious here when I say I really don't think I'll be able to get behind the team this season with him as head coach (manager by any other name). Already bought my season ticket but, as it stands, I can see it getting very little use.

    I really think he'll struggle to get the fans behind anything he does and it's going to turn very toxic very quickly if he doesn't get off to a very, very good start.

    I honestly despair of John Nelms at times, he needs to get his head out his erse and learn to read the room. Season ticket sales have reduced year on year since he came in and this type of appointment isn't going to stop that.

    Not that I particularly care anymore I'm done with worrying about DFC until nelms is gone...

    But

    What I am astonished about is that DFC fans are astonished that nelms knows what he is doing and he gives one shiny ****e what supporters think.....supporters are an irrelevance to him a complete and utter irrelevance....nae an inconvenience.

    Proven time and time and time again he dosent care about fans and barely conceals his hostility towards them.

    I bet Dochertys doubled up laughing.

    Anyway back 31 Aug for opening of new stadium.

    See you there, I'll be one in the long grass at the west side of the completely derelict site.

    That twitter is hilarious, boys wanting there money back before a ball is kicked, probably the same boys who backed Mcpake to the hilt and slaughtered Lyall.

    Not my first choice by any means and a very risky appointment, but it?s bizarre watching people get so excited annd upset especially the ones that rarely go.

    Yep, will go along with that calm and Sensible outlook GB.
    Guys were saying they did not want the usual managerial merry go round of the same faces turning up, well we've certainly parted from that particular path.
    One thing we know for certain is that the coach/manager position will as usual only be temporary as the inevitable outcome will be the sack, the same as there are no guarantees with any manager appointed that they will be successful even after achieving success elsewhere.

    I'm excited to see what he brings, as it may be different and perhaps just surprise us all, nobody knows.

    Give him a chance.

    Agree

    We sounded like an old firm fanbase yesterday, talk of not going back, wanting a refund on season ticket was hysteria on stilts.

    The most important thing at a club like ours is recruitment, let?s see where we are in 8 weeks time at the end of the transfer window.

    Some also re writing history on Doc.

    145 goals conceded in two seasons

    Let that sink in

    You are right. He has to be given time. I just hope that he will not allow John Nelms to interfere in team selection, because he will be judged on results. The reaction yesterday was way over the top. I would say he needs at least three months. We will all have an idea by then.

    Still unsure and even more so after the Nelms interview, why he was not given the Technical Manager (head of development) role and another person the Head Coach role?

    Given his successful role at EPL Brentford.

    Some boys getting out their pram about a team they rarely go and see.

    Zoomers.
