Not long back from a festival and missed all the excitement. I bet it has been very amicable on here, little gloating or 'I told you so' as usual..? For whatever it is worth, I had a good 45 minute chat with ROD towards the beginning of last season and he couldn't speak highly enough of 'Thorny' (see, everyone adds the ubiquitous '...y'). I thought it a little unusual, in fact, for a bit part player. It seems like his Mrs. has used Twitter to gloat about Thorn's departure, as the pair of them have no doubt grown a little more dissatisfied with his professional lot. Hardly breaking news, no idea where these ideas of Thorn turning up pissed for training and cancelling it when people don't show up come from. We know that some on here have been repeatedly vocal on their knives being out for Thorn for some time, it is a little surprising that these stories haven't done the rounds sooner.
For what it is worth, I think it is too soon to sack a manager who brings in nine new players in the close season and oversees three League games at the start of the next (although I was away for the Burnley match, as I say). Will I be proved right or wrong? Surprisingly enough, I couldn't give a solitary shit, the only important factor for me is the Club get the right man and we challenge for promotion. Coventry City fan, not die hard Andy Thorn employment advocate (as hard as it may be to make the distinction).
