We are now managed by Elvis

So, Steven Pressley is our new manager. I think it's an interesting choice. And by interesting, I mean I'm covering my eyes and hardly daring to watch. I can't help but wishing they'd hired someone with a little more experience. Or, you know, any experience.

I'm a little sad about Eddie May. He was good at bringing players through the academy. On the other hand, we've lost 15 of our last 27 games, are on 17 points, and he really should have been fired weeks ago.

I do like Steven Pressley, and he seems to have the inspiring speeches part down. It's just that he only stopped playing for us six months ago. But I'm hoping! Not too hard, though. Last season I would have been so gutted by relegation, just absolutely devastated. This season, sadly I'm a little more mentally prepared, mainly because it's seemed a 90% certainty from day one.

But. I'm hoping.

Um. If he keeps turning up for press conferences dressed like he did today, well, he can stay ;-) (my shallowness, let me show you it).

Seriously, I hope it goes really really well for him and youse. Good luck! I'd miss you all and your (fabby) three-sided stadium if you went away for a season.

I'm not going to say that didn't cross my mind! We may be going down, but at least there's something pretty to look at...

I firmly believe it is the best three-sided stadium in the world ;).

Good luck to him! :) I really hope he does well, and you stay up - partly because i don't want you to beat us 4 times next season, LOL, but mainly because your club is one of the good ones, i think, and you deserve to stay up. :)

Thank you! And I very much hope so too. Not that it wouldn't be lovely to play against you all :).
