    That's not gonna happen
    Let's face it Scottish fitba is terrible standard,well and Falkirk have both played good fitba have a decent manager and made top 6 comfortably.
    That should be our aim every season and I'm sure it's a target for pressley next season.
    If it's not I expect him to walk as what's the point in him being away from family if not to progress.
    Docs 6th was by far a better season as we had a squeak of Europe instead of surviving.

    More than happy with what Elvis has done especially working in the circus with the Texan ringmaster.

    Starting to think it wud be funny to see him leave though citing constant angst from "fans"

    Europe is never out of range if similar teams like us are achieving it.
    Who knows what the future holds for next season,Im easy but probably leaning on him getting another season.

    How much actual angst will he have felt from fans though? I don't remember many 'Pressley out' shouts and there was only one banner ever unfurled that was aimed as much at Nelms as at Pressley.

    Don't think Pressley will be caring too much about what's posted on a forum like this or any other one, if he is then he isn't really cut out for top tier football management where criticism from all quarters is part and parcel of the job. As a group of fans we're no worse in that respect than any other. Take a look over the road where many of their fans want Goodwin out and have done for well over a year as an example. I wonder if Goodwin feels under any pressure because of fan angst after delivering a significantly better season than our man? I reckon both will be more concerned about what they've delivered for their bosses than what fans are saying about them.

    He's already said publicly that he thought about walking and was certainly aware of the noise.

    I find him to be almost shy and I don't like guid guys getting hurt.

    Goodwin delivered significantly better season......hmmm......I beg to differ given both managers starting point and resources.....he's not even guaranteed to finish above Elvis yet.

    Derby results matter a lot to most people in this city (and in East Angus of course) and contribute more to the feeling of a good or bad season than any other results.

    I get the feeling derby results mean a lot more to Jim Goodwin and his team than they do to Steven Pressley and his. But maybe they'll understand that better next season.

    I'm a very shy person but have developed a thick enough skin that I can just ignore most things I don't like to hear or see and can get on with my life. Would never consider giving up a job just because some people gave me stick.

    Just like I continue to post on here despite everything
