Pressley: We Are On A Pathway

Last updated : 12 September 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has said that the club is on a pathway and needs fans, players buying into their philosophy.

Speaking to James Rodger and Alan Poole at this morning's press conference, Pressley, who signed a new deal which will tie him to the club until 2018 this week, said: "As soon as (Steve) Waggott asked me about a new contract I immediately said "yes" without hesitation. I love it here.

"You can either throw money at football clubs or you can do it our way, nurturing young talent.

"We're developing a strong base and I'm a manager who believes in youth. We've got four academy players as first-team starters.

"Southampton are a wonderful example of how you can build from within.

"They were in a position not dissimilar to ours and they built up their youth system. I'd urge fans to recall that.

"It's a precarious job being in football management. Fans need to remember the journey we are on.

"We're on a pathway and we need fans, players and everyone looking forward and buying into our philosophy.

"I understand you need short-term goals to reach the long term.

"I'm not motivated by money."
