How dare fans discuss the performance of the worst manager in the clubs history - shame on you.

So you also want to close any thread that discusses out ownership issue as well?

Thorn is a good manager, in a very tough job with limited resources and no job security. What I find strange is that no other club have spotted these talents, he will be low paid and so a reasonable offer and he would surely go. why oh why is it just us Cov fans that recognise the great job that he has done.

Quick close the thread. Someone from a rival club may see this and recruit the genius.

Leave the useless imbecile thorn in charge and your wish will be granted - he will shut us down for good.

No he won't. As long as sisu remain so will thorn. If he does start to get any criticism he will deploy the cheery wave. If that doesn't work fisher will instruct him to start some attack on sisu then he is the poor sad victim - a victim that will continue to worship at the temple of Sepella and be grateful for the sisu dollar.

Definitely some truth to this. There have been a few unflattering comments about AT's intelligence, but there is no question that he is very savvy when it comes to PR.

Bit tired? Or just bored with having the worst manager in the country? Don't worry he'll give you a wave if you ask nicely.

In my opinion its all the pro thorn fans fault that we were relegated. Sisu cannot sack thorn now cause there is so many pro thorn fans as shown throughout games with pro thorn songs and it is totally ridiculous. He is such a bad manager- tactically(with substitution or rather the lack of substitutions and the amount of time it took him to realise the diamond didn't work before resolving back to long ball to platt which actually worked better), he is so bad with the media(why on earth would he publish the things about marlon, norwood and collins) when everyone realises in football that a player hasn't signed until he's literally written his signature on the contract but by thorn publicising about the fact we've already signed them arouses interest from other clubs and before you know it they offer 3k p/w more and ofc they won't come to us. And when we miss out on our targets somehow it is sisus fault I just don't get it. I'm not pro sisu either trust me, as I do believe they are selling any slight decent player possible. However, they have been the ones who have funded us for god knows how long and kept us a club. I mean we really don't want to go into admin - look at rangers now. We were making horrendous losses and they have managed to cut these losses down last year and they would have had the money to sack thorn and replace him with a decent manager and then I honestly believe we wouldve stayed up cause there is absolutely no way thorn got the most from that squad - we were shocking. Whenever we miss out on a signing - somehow just somehow it is sisus fault which I just don't understand. As soon as those fans who chant thorns name throughout realise that he is honeslty a shocking manager and has no idea what he is doing in that role, sisu will realise the fans have turned on him and are able to sack him cause all they are trying to do is meet the fans wishes after some embarrasing work from ken deluded. But have faith with tim fisher and steve waggot, they actually know what their role is about. Waggot was chief exec at charlton for a while for god sake and at least fisher has a mathmatical brain going to imperial university doing accountancy which is one of top unis in country. Thorn has to go before we see any sign of improvement. Rant over

I remember being in the minority 1% saying SISU out 5 years ago.:wave:
What??, worse than Bothroyde, Coleman, Adams,
You surely Jest, at least the bloke is trying to play decent football, and the above names all had some cash to spend, whereas Thorn Hasn't hardly had a Penny, its way past the time for some stability, Sacking Managers has proven not to work, its totally unfair to Judge Andy Thorn in the severe circumstances, that he has had to endure under the totally inept Tossers SiSU, our alledged Saviours
And thank God! it looks like they're not going to get their sticky, corrupt, little fingers on the deeds to the Ricoh.

Not sure where this myth comes from that AB had a fortune to spend-the money spent on Juke was little different to that spent on Cody and was the only major outlay. Other than that, our team was a fair bit weaker than the season before and he dealt primarily in freebies. Adams only had cash to burn in 2006/7 and, granted, blew most of it on Kyle and McKenzie who failed for different reasons. However, he still delivered our best FL-era finish on a shoestring the season before, and the season before that rescued Reid's debacle. So out of the managers you list, I'd say only Coleman was an unmitigated failure.

It's not just fees though Brighton its also the wages he was given (+ signing on fees)
King, Carsley and sheff would have been big earners. I imagine RODs on a decent whack having come from Sunderland, There was a fee for Juke plus he was on a reported £7k p/w, compensation for O'Halloran. Plus he brought in Platt and Keogh, and a couple of very loan deals in turner, Doyle and ward.
The wage bill was slashed by £3m when all the players left at the end of the 2010-11, so compared to AT, AB spent quite a lot. Adams spent on Mckenzie and Kyle but that was through the sale of sheffers.

Iagreee with you entirely it has worked wonders for us in the past.
It's a policy that's managed to keep us up.
Only the times that we haven't have resulted in us getting relegated.

We will never know whether a change of manager would have kept us up on either of these occasions.
