Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Heard the news about 2 hours ago, but not been able to type until I stopped laughing!

John and jimmy for pne?

Maybe new manager won't fancy proccy and he can come home :)

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Who is the favourite for the job

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke, PNE fans must be relieved - good riddance Westley but no doubt he'll pop up somewhere else soon to weave his own particular brand of magic - as long as he never comes anywhere near Stanley I don't really care where he goes. All together now ..... 'time to go, time to go' ........ :tongueout

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

I take it he's not on the Christmas card list's of Stanley fans then:D

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Perhaps all those calling for Leam's head would like Weasley as the new manager!

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

you got a death wish Outback:D

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

I am in the minority here !!!,he was brought in by Ridsdale to get rid of the high earners and half the budget,what did the Preston fans expect?.Granted,the replacement players have under performed,but you only get what you pay for,although some are good players.
I have heard stories about him,which in don't agree with,but you can't argue that with his desire to be successful,indeed,when he needed additional players,and Preston had no money,he personally financed them.
How many other managers have done that?.
Preston managers job is a poisoned challis,just look at recent history,big club,big expectations but no money.
Westley is a very wealthy man from interests outside football, so his desire to be successful is not money driven,maybe ego,but definitely not money.
He will surface somewhere and be successful,I am sure of that.

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Maybe their successor ;)

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Is there a not like button? :D

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

he would keep us up thats for sure.

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Simon Grayson at the bookies, with odds of 1/5.

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

And what would his transfer budget be with a crowd of 50 every week ?:rolleyes:

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Your hell bent on getting rid of Richardson aren't you:(

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

I'm not convinced he would - and bringing him in would be akin to selling our soul to the devil :eek:

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Was posted with tongue very firmly in cheek, I have no wish to see Weasley at Stanley except possibly in the opposition dugout once a season, providing he is managing a league club.:p

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

and we have our very own Adam Cottier to thank for hammering in the last nail in Westley's PNE coffin!

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Just been passed the following by a PNE fan, Weasleys final Column....

EXCLUSIVE: Graham Westley?s final column - Preston North End news - Lancashire Evening Post

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Was 14th when he took over,reduced the playing budget by 75% and are still in roughly the same league position !!,fair play to him,but sometimes fans can be fickle :)

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

Only sometimes? :rolleyes:

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

A dignified statement by Westley IMHO.

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

I agree.
I rate him as a manager and expect him to be successful elsewhere in the future.

Alot of decent managers have failed at preston in recent years, It would suggest their problems run deeper than the manager.

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

For what its worth I think his hearts in the right place, its not that long ago, he bumped into some PNE fans on the way home from a cancelled match and bought them all pizzas out of his own pocket, thought at the time it was a very nice gesture.

With these few touching words you have opened my eyes to a new dimension in Graham Westley's persona Jaysay !.
!...which in a way has made me feel a little mean for starting this thread intended to allow the Weasel's ( Sorry , Graham Westley's !) antagonists to have free rein in their ongoing vilifications of this much maligned Football Manager !.

I have to admit that reading of this boundless act of generosity on his part towards the hungry of this world caused a little tear to be brushed away and a resolution NEVER to say another rude word about Mr Weasley ( Sorry, Mr Westley !) in my posts on our Forum !.....

But then I re-read a quote harvested from another Forum some time ago...which went like this :-
.' He also did one of his usual tricks in the form of a huge squad overhaul which was something he later said he regretted depsite the club finishing 7th and reaching the 4th round of the FA cup playing Arsenal. The game was held at Highbury despite Farnborough being drawn at home, an agreement was reached as it would see the club gain £600,000 in ticket sales, immediately after the windfall Westley left the club and removed his financial backing......i'm saying nothing'.....end of quote....

Nuff said ??.

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

:) Well it is the year of the "SNAKE" yonmon;):D

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

[QUOTE=yonmon;1042533] I take it your not really a fan of this chap, even so you maybe better of keeping to your word I'm saying nothing, always using the yard stick if you can't say anything nice about a person better to keep your gob shut;)

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

All I need now are Satanage to go bust and ill die a happy man.

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
 

[QUOTE=jaysay;1042535]Without wanting to appear in any way pedantic Jaysay...if you examine the quote in my posting a little closer you will see that 'I'm saying nothing' are the last three words within the quote I used !!...MY rejoinder being 'Nuff said' !.....
I think that all in all I generally do say nice things about those I pinpoint on the Forum..... with exceptions !! ( One example I recall was the posting a scathing denouncement of Paul Ince's appalling behaviour towards Harwood Red and others at The Crown ).
However, if you can detect a measure of lack of respect for Graham Westley in my words, and this offends your understanding of the principals of fairness towards others then .......um !...well !!.
As to keeping my Gob ( A word long dismissed from my vocabulary!) shut......then, although my downhill journey into my dotage has curtailed my activities somewhat , I'm afraid I cannot in truth offer you any promises in that respect... Alfred.E. wouldn't like it !!......

Re: Weasley ??..........GONE !!!
