In the summer After finishing midtable in league one

"New manager didnt get to manage his own team"
"Once he's bought and sold the players he wants we will be able to challenge"

Same old City, getting sick of this manager merry go round now!

Wish we would have kept Thorn as scout as well

You'd better brace yourself for it. 84% of teams in the English football leagues have managers who have served under three years. The nature of the game.

Scary thought this, if Ferguson became Man U manager in this day and age, he would've got sacked in his 1st season!

SISU will own the Arena and all Coventry territories north of Spon End.

Coventry City Council will owe SISU rent.

Yeah, lets hang on to rubbish then, not try to freshen up a clearly failing manager. I'm fully behind not chopping and changing as we have done over the years, but Thorn wasn't the manager to stick with, and using that as a reason to keep him isn't good enough.

To be fair, Fergie's first two seasons at Man Utd were pretty successful!

I can only go on what've read as I weren't alive when he was appointed manager, that had he not won against Forest (in the cup) and won the cup, he'd been sacked. Owners who give managers financial backing as he did, are normally expected to provide the goods - fast!

Also read St. Mirren's chairmen at the time they sacked him said "he has NO managerial ability".

Imagine if Thorn does the same!? Another scary thought.

andy thorn will return to sweeping chimneys as sad as it is its what he is best at and where his heart lies

Yeah, Fergie's first few seasons were before my time too. But he took them from 21st to 11th after taking over mid-season in '86, and the next year they were runners-up to Liverpool. That's not bad going. Fergie is used by the Linnells of this world to justify keeping a manager in place for a long time, but in reality Fergie had at least a couple of seasons' capital to call on when he did hit the ditch.
