What a fucking tadger this guy is

STEVEN Pressley has launched a scathing attack on debt-ridden SPL clubs that don't trim their budgets.

The Falkirk boss claims these clubs are just like drugs cheats. And he said his own side are playing on an uneven field because they operate within their financial limits while others bring in players they cannot afford.

And he called on the authorities to sort it out - suggesting wage caps could be one answer.

Pressley's Falkirk are battling to stay in the Premier League and he said: "Clubs who are operating properly are being punished.

"We had six academy players starting in the team last week.

"We put money into that side of the club and try to operate within the footballing budget - which is correct in how a business should be run.

"You can sometimes suffer from it because of others who spend outwith their means and sign players they really cannot afford.

"They then rack up unsustainable deficits. That is a form of cheating. It is similar to athletes taking drugs - although that is illegal while this is a legal form of cheating.

"They take drugs to enhance their performance while clubs spend money they don't have to enhance their performance. It is a legal form of cheating.

"We are a good example of a club working within its means. Hibs are also a good example."

Pressley believes clubs such as debt-free Falkirk suffer from not signing certain players .

And he added: "I don't know how you can sort it out.

"Maybe you could introduce salary caps or have wages in relation to budget and turnover. Something needs to be done.

"It is up to the SFA to take action. Clubs operating with the correct infrastructure are suffering in the modern game. That is why I think UEFA president Michel Platini is trying to implement rulings."

He is at a club who paid and have paid nothing towards the cost of their stadium.The sale of Brockville to Morrisons was forced through by the council despite Tesco and Asda being 200 yards in each direction.

The new stadium was paid by council loans of which not a penny has been paid back,the second stand was built through another council loan of which nothing has been paid back.The third stand was paid by a local millionaire.

People in glasshouses springs to mind regarding Pressley.

Surely this is not the same Steven Pressley who was never out the papers bragging about being top of the league with a hugely debt-ridden Hearts team?

Or the one who was at a debt-ridden Rangers at the beginning of NIAR?

Or is it the one who won the title with septic, a team who are now in debt?

Or it may even be the one who cheated Hearts out of a years wages, which put them even further in debt?

Fuck off - hypocritical cunt!
