He has done all season, he's even shielded his players and not blamed any one player bar bigi (which I think he went too far). But I guess he's scrutinised if he does and if he doesnt, hell even fans wanted him gone even if he did keep us up... I just don't understand our fans

Views will always vary on a managers performance. In the end you have to say any manager that kept us up with all luggage this manager had to carry would have been deemed a miricle worker.

Thorn is a miricle worker, we are not down yet, and may even take the fight into the last game. With the resources, depth and quality of the squad available, it is a minor miracle that we still have a pulse.

too late :facepalm:

I don't think thorn was right to complain last night. Any normal manager would have walked as soon as the promises were reneiged upon.
You can't stay in the job and keep your moan for 4 months and only let it out when your team go down.
Saying that he is only telling us what we all knew. I think he knows his time is up too.

If he is in such a bad position then why hasn't he walked?
Is it because he knows he wouldn't get another managers job? I don't know.
I know if I was in a job giving me health issues, my bosses were treating me like dirt and I hated it so much etc I would leave and find another one...

AT came close to saving us from relegation. Remember 2 weeks ago we got ourselves out of the relegation zone. If he had achieved that with the limited resources at his disposal we would all be singing his praised now.
AT has the makings of a good manager. The club should stick by him in my opinion. SISU are to blame for our demise. They haven't allowed him to do his job. I have an awful lot of sympathy for the guy. He must be so fustrated.

of couse they have allowed him to do his job.
They have given him the resources that are all this club can afford.
Where do you expect the money to come from?

The thing is how has he proved he has the making of a good manager? Talen Spotter / Scout then yes, but that is different to being a manager.
If he is so frustrated why has he not worked?

I'd take no help from anybody over letting Bobby Gould in my bloody dressing room! Not sure that Marcus has anything whatsoever to offer after hearing his incisive "I'm from Cov, me, GOOD, INNIT?" match analysis on CWR.

you prefer "well pick ourselves up and go again" then?

I don't see what any has-been has to offer, no. You don't know what Thorn says in the dressing room, but I wouldn't want a bitter ex-player who never played like he had a football brain (nor has any coaching experience) and a mad man from the 80's who loved long ball in there; I can't see what improvement they'd have offered.
And BTW Thorn did moan previously, you know. The comments last night weren't the first-what he said last time was much stronger.
then maybe you don't have what it takes to be a leader or a football manager. Leaders take the strain regardless, he cares for the club, he's been here for years. but he finally had enough, theres only so much you can do, so much you can take before it breaks you. and fans like mumford crying out for his head without viable replacements who would probably do no better, has not helped our cause.
IT NEVER HAS.

He knows now that he probably wont be offered a new lucrative contract as manager next year, so he can drop the 3rd wall and speak his mind. He quite possibly however does have a contract still in place as Coventry scout, so he does not wish to walk away from that. End of the day, the man still needs an income.

Or if I knew I was that good at my job I could just walk out into another job before it made me ill....
I am not calling for his head, slagging him off as a person but purely as CCFC manager.

he has made bad decisions, granted, but some things have been way out of his control. as crazy as it sounds, some people actually like the company we work for, regardless of the strain it puts on us...

Funny you should mention Lambert. Sacked from his first managerial role after turning in a 15% win-ratio in his first 32 games in charge. Thorn's is currently at just over 22%.
Still, Thorn, eh? Stupid, clueless, fat oaf, eh?
Or maybe a manager who - like Paul Lambert did - was just beginning to find his feet?

well as you will clearly see from my post i mentioned maybe we should give thorn another season, not sure why your aiming that point at me?

Sorry - jumping between posts and trying to get some work done too!
History is littered with clubs we're seemingly discarded managers too soon, only to regret thereafter
