The head coach of Dundee emphasizes the need for improved player recruitment strategies to prevent future scrambles, noting that many established players have left the club since last season. Despite eight new arrivals, he is seeking five additional players to create squad stability. After a difficult start to the season, including a loss to Hibs and League Cup exit, Pressley recognizes it is essential to build successfully and acknowledges the challenge ahead. He remains focused on his role without succumbing to external pressures or criticism from fans or media.
This can't happen again for us as a club. Moving forward, we have to have a better process around this. We don't want to be in a position where every season we are scrambling trying to find players.
I know everybody wants success now, but this is a big, big job and a real challenge and we have to get this part right.
During my pro licence, [Dundee technical director] Gordon [Strachan] talked about living in your own little bubble as a head coach. I took that on board and I have never looked at social media, I never read any newspapers, nothing like that.
Fans turn up every Saturday expecting their team to win, but we have to accept that is not always going to be the case.
