Having has the misfortune to meet Pressley I can second what @Caniggia says.Pressley is one of the most arrogant tossers I’ve ever met. Horrible human.
I think a lot of people are mixing Hartley with Pressley here.
Walter wanted to clear the deck in defence. For some strange, unknown and possibly undocumented reason, he didn't think a central partnership of Karl Svensson and Julien Rodriguez was the way forward.
Strange that.
Walter wanted Hartley in January to partner Weir, Pressley was already a signed up jump-the-dyke mentally challenged by that point.
We'd already signed Webster on Loan and with a view to signing him at the end of it. He was going to be the "marquee" signing of the January and was to be fast-tracked to the captaincy.
I believe Webster was a "board project" and if you know anything about our board at the time then you know who sanctioned this. They thought he was a future Rangers Captain and had gone above and beyond jumping through legal loopholes making sure he could get to us from Hearts.
Walter did not rate Webster. He did not want him. He was not going to play him. His Rangers career did not go well.
Walter wanted to pair David Weir with Paul Hartley. Simple as that.
poets got wind of it about a week before the end of the transfer window and offered Hartley £10k extra a week to sign for them. We scrambled and signed big Ugo.
Well shit, even I've fucked this.Not arguing with you mate, but we wanted Hartley as a centre half??
Well shit, even I've fucked this.
Serves me right for having tinnies before bed.
Utterly irrelevant thread.
It was....it’s just that Pressley has just managed to get the words fully out.I thought this was common knowledge?
I remember it at the time.
I fucking hope not.For some reason I’ve always remembered that we were in for both Pressley and Hartley at the same time, then they both obviously went to the bheast. Am I wrong?
Well, he's an Aberdeen fan. He says so on OTB.Not long after he signed for them they beat Hearts at Tynecastle & Pressley was ecstatic, fist pumping & applauding the away fans, beaming & laughing like a Champions League winner.
After his association with Hearts, club captain etc, I thought his actions were completely disrespectful & unnecessary & summed up the type of individual he is.
Every cloud etcJust listening to the offtheball podcast from Saturday and he said when he left hearts he had a meeting organised with David Murray but it all kicked off with Ferguson and Le Guen and nothing came of it
Sounds just like Michael Stewart thenWho thinks he’s an intellectual.
Good quiz question that.He won the Scottish Cup with us, Hearts and Celtic.
Has anyone else won it with 3 different teams?
Still a big useless lump though.
I'd put it slightly behind Walter coming back, but I know what you mean!Bullet dodged. Best thing to come out of the Ferguson Le Guen bust up!!
I was told he was re signing around this time .Just listening to the offtheball podcast from Saturday and he said when he left hearts he had a meeting organised with David Murray but it all kicked off with Ferguson and Le Guen and nothing came of it
