First Manager sacked?

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

Pressley can use the transfer fee from Marcus Maddison to bring them in, should only cost a few million to sign players of there calibre

Well, he knows the attitude of them will be fantastic. They show great desire and heart. And other buzzwords and stuff

 

[The Hand of Dom]

Pressley sounds a lot like Dave Robertson.

MacAnthony wants his manager to play full out attacking football. What we used to be known for under the MacAnthony era. We've lost that over the last three years. The "You score three, we'll score four" attitude to return.

We were very fortunate that we had a team back then who genuinely cared for the club. Players like Charlie Lee, George Boyd, Craig Mackail-Smith and Grant McCann, whilst weren't fans, they cared. Now we've got a squad who, Gaby Zakuani aside, I probably couldn't name one player who gives a crap which no doubt doesn't help.

It's a big job for the new guy who ever it is. MacAnthony is a demanding chairman, but we've all seen what, as a club, we can achieve and it's time to get past those 7 minutes at Selhurst Park which derailed us for three years. Worst hangover ever.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

It's Westley. I'm done. Fuck this club.

 

[Hooped Wizard]

It's Westley. I'm done. Fuck this club.

How do you know?

 

[valefan16]

It's Westley. I'm done. Fuck this club.

McAnthony can't be that bothered with attacking football then!

 

[The Hand of Dom]

How do you know?

Radio Cambridgeshire and our local paper reporting it.

Unveiled in the next 48 hours. Darragh may be better to stay off Twitter.

 

[Hooped Wizard]

Good manager, I wish we went in for him tbh.

 

[Ninety Per Cent]

Graham Westley and Grant McCann at the same club?

Nice.

 

[colu_mike7]

Graham Westley's methods will click somewhere and take them up to the Championship, give him a chance and it could be Posh, he deserves a lot of credit for what he achieved with Stevenage.

Gah @ Tony Humes somehow getting away with it again. :/

 

[RavenBish]

 

[Posh Hammer]

Fuck this shit.

 

[JJ1532]

Once you get past the hilarity of this move, I just don't get it.

MacAnthony wants to see his team attack and score loads of goals. Westley wins via the very opposite. He slows the game down, goes for scrappy 1-0s and generally is the promoter of winning via extremely ugly and borderline unfair means.

Wonder what odds you'll get on Westley being the 3rd L1 boss sacked? If this ends in anything other than disaster, I'd be amazed.

 

[SuperDionsHead]

Might aswell get Thorn. He's clueless aswell but at least attempts to play football.

 

[Cas]

Mouth watering game between Phil Parkinson's Bradford and Westley's Peterborough next Saturday then. Classic.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

Press conference 2pm tomorrow. Sigh.

 

[darren gregory]

Dear oh dear thought football had seen the back of this dinosaur, cue Posh players falling over and time wasting at every given opportunity on Oct 17th ? You don,t deserve this

 

[ccfctommy]

Did crap at Preston. What a bizarre appointment.

 

[SF_]

How has this bloke landed another job in league football?? Nevermind League One!

If anyone can relegate Peterborough this season, it's Westley, prepare to sign a million obscure players.

 

[SeasideKurt]

He did a wonderful job at Preston. He actually lost the plot. I hope he's found it or you'll join us in League Two.

 

[Posh Hammer]

He only spoke in the third person twice in his press conference.

Spoke about how expensive our squad is on numerous occasions. Claims that we need to judge him on how he does here rather than past clubs and then went on about how successful he was at Stevenage for 5 minutes.

Jokes that if he doesn't get us promoted this season he expects to be sacked but says we should only look at the next game and not worry about longer term goals.

I don't like his face, it pisses me off.

 

[Indian Dan]

If you win your next 2 games you'll all be covered in man-goo and he'll be a saint.

It has always been thus with us fickle fans.

PS You could have had Cooper back!

I can't let this fucker getting another job in League football pass by without going on a mini rant about his time at PNE.

- Signing some useless, giraffe of a centreback who was released by Aldershot and playing him up front away at Sheff Wednesday, so we could lump balls up to his head, with Iain Hume sat on the bench.

- Signing hoardes of Conference level shite; Elding, Cummins, Beardsley, Procter, Holroyd, Foster, Brown, Cansdell-Sherriff, Mousinho, Amoo, Murphy, Trundle...

- Transfer listing Bailey Wright.

- His fucking texting and bullshit press conferences.

- The fact he used to commute from fucking London.

- 'Drinks Breaks'

- Losing at home to Crawley and taking solace from the fact that 'there wasn't much in it'.

- Blaming our relegation form on two full backs getting injured.

- Constantly talking about the job he did at Stevenage.

- Introducing himself to the players with the line 'my kids call me medal winner'.

- Potting Alan Kelly and employing some fat, kebab shop owner as our goalkeeping coach.

- That pathetic fucking gibbon, Dino Maamria stood in the dug out making an absolute dick of himself.



That's better ...apart from that, he seemed a nice enough bloke the one time I met him.

My brother was the mascot for Westley's first game in charge at home to Orient. He refused to let the mascots in to the changing room to meet the players and then wouldn't let the MOTM go to the presentation thing in the Great Room after the game. He also completely blanked us before the game.

At the time I put it down to him being stressed about his first game in charge, but in hindsight, it was probably down to the fact he's a complete c***.

 

[Jamie_Posh]

I'm giving him 3 games, if the football changes to hoofball I won't spend another penny this season.

 

[Posh Hammer]

Our previous manager tweeted this:

Dave Robertson ‏@DaveRobertson11 · Sep 20
Great morning watching the PUFC V MK Dons U12s game, some quality football and great goals too


Think he has found his correct level.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

- Introducing himself to the players with the line 'my kids call me medal winner'.

Wow.

 

[hold'um Oldham]

Gobsmacked by this after the job you did on us. Thought mccann deserved a chance

 

[Vale on Trent]

Sad day for football. Peterborough v Bradford will be an enjoyable watch

A small positive from this abomination is that Dino Maamria isn't coming as MacAnthony insisted McCann and co are kept.

 

[Kim Mitten]

If these statements from the Peterborough chairman are true then this is utterly doomed to failure:
' And finally let me state simply that I will never, as Chairman of this football club, sit back and watch what could be described as hoofball or direct and ugly uninspiring football. So understand that Graham Westley is clear on his objectives, what I want and the job that needs to be done at our club and quickly.'

Has he actually seen a Westley club play, it's not just Stevenage, it's been every side he's ever managed from the lowest levels to this division. So if the hoofball stays he'll sack him - or Westley has what, a couple of months to totally change his management style and football philosophy, it's like he hasn't met the man.
I also hope MacAnthony grilled him about his time at Farnborough, lets just hope he doesn't give him an control over money.

here is the best bit though: 'The objectives I have given Graham are simple; get our club back to the Championship, get our young talented squad playing to the maximum of their abilities with consistency, make them flourish and improve, but most importantly lead Grant McCann, the coaches and our young squad one step further then the Championship and do the impossible.'

Westley in the Premier League! Is Barry Fry still involved at Posh? If so with Westley now there I wish this club nothing but relegation to the conference, maybe they could add Steve Evans as assistant.
