good news (not a shock!) lets hope he has the full backing of the board and some money to spend!

Is this the 1st correct decision SISU have made since taking control?? I believe it is......................

Now we just need Hoffman to buy the club and give Andy some transfer money so he can sign some gems.

Fantastic news - given how unattractive this job really is the alternative would have been awful (yes Gary Megson i do mean you).

Well deserved though, hope he gets a great reception on Sat

 

[mustaphasbeard]

Thank fook for that!

Sigh of relief :claping hands:

Do we know who the other 4 candidates were (if they actually existed at all)?

 

[Jimthor]

Some good news!!!

ANDY THORN'S SKY BLUE ARMY! :claping hands:

 

[sky_blue_up_north]

Great news, now we need to get King to sign, TBH not to bothered about Gunner or Westy, there are plenty of replacements about for them, but a 20 goal striker... gold dust

 

[JCR1987]

Just seen on the telegraph website how AT managed to secure the post:

The 44-year-old boss was offered the post yesterday and agreed to a one-year rolling contract with the Sky Blues, beating off four other short-listed candidates.

His arm must be aching somewhat today

 

[skyblu3sk]

Congrats to thorn ) well done

SISU are the best thing since sliced bread. I love SISU, I love SISU....... I'm so fickle.​

 

[KarmicChris]

Finally! Roll on next season

 

[johnniericoh]

Sorry my previous post was a tad pessimistic ref AT - appointment common sense DOES prevail after all. But a word of caution - the reaction from all quarters is hugely positive but let us not be too hasty give Andy time for his WORK IN PROGRESS to be fulfilled.
No head hunting if a losing sequence inevitably happens. Remember the fans criticism of Mick McCarthy of Wolves / Big Eck of Birmingham and others demanding heads must roll when things stalled - contract stability paid off with promotion to the promised land. So keep the faith and give Andy masses of Sky Blue support.

PUSB

With Brum and Wolves though, they had expectations well above ours (or at least the expectations of sensible fans). Hopefully they don't start giving us talk about a promotion push and so on and just let him get on with things without manufactured pressure.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

FANTASTC news! Well done SISU, keep up stuff like this and you may convert even me! Of course it could just be 'cos
1)He's the cheap option
2)RR insisted he get the job as part of on-going takeover negotiations

Either way, who cares. Remember that Fast Show character? "BRILLIAAAAAANNNTTT!!!!!!"

Finally a one Year rolling contract so finally if it doesn't work out we don't have to keep paying ex managers for years

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

if his email address is [email protected] then I've just sent him my congratulations. If it's not then I've just sent some random guy my congratulations lol.

 

[Coventry La La La]

Time to celebrate!

I didn't know you could suffer an arm ache just by putting a signature to a contract?

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

I think it may have more to do with beating off the other candidates. He's a big lad though and he was part of "the crazy gang" so it wouldn't have been too much trouble.

seems like there is a sexual kind of joke there, i just cant see it myself

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

I wouldn't dare to imply that any of the Crazy Gang were gay..the brother of one of them, yes, that's common knowledge, and his story is a tragedy...well, maybe John Scales, too. But not Vinny, Thorny, Wise, Fash, Cork, Sanchez etc..now that was a hard team.

I'll get me coat.

 

[ccfctommy]

Just got in, pleased for Andy Thorn. Yes it may be the cheap option but a sensible one too. The players seem to respond to him.

PUSB.
