Eastwood, cody, juke, cligan, baker, bigi, cranie, christy, wood, quirke.
sw88 Coleman spent the most! Adams had a few pennies from mcsheffery sale! Coleman spent good money on, Westwood, Freddy, Bell, Gunnar, Craine, Baker, Clingan, Wood to name but a few!!!
The problem we have is that its took 10 yrs for any of the owners to realise we need to make the club a profitable business to survive !!! The problem SISU have is they are doing the right thing 10 years after it should have been done, as a result they have got the brunt of the blame for it!!!
In our current situation we have a group of players who in my eyes can do enough to stay in this league! We are in the bottom 3 and have only won 2 games all season and actually 2 games in 20! Is that acceptable with this current crop of players?? I personally don't think it is, as a result Thorns ability to coach, train and manage the current crop of players has to be questioned along with the ability of Harrison and oggy as well!!!!
Said this before and will say it again, as a club, we will achieve nothing employing the likes of Baker & Bell.
Have to agree about Harrison and oggy, have both been there to long and go hand in hand with previous failed managers.
As for AT think it's unfair to slag him off given that he has to work with what he's got and no backing from sisu.
As for the Thorn out brigade who do they think they can bring in and do any better under the current constraints
Actually its 5 wins out of 24 league games actually Kduffy. Not brilliant but nowhere near as bad as 2 out of 20 you keep posting
Several things - surely you can have a novice manager with a squad with a bit of experience or an experienced manager with a novice squad. With a novice manager and novice squad, mistakes are bound to continue. Also, everyone is aware that the squad is bare and no money to reinforce; is Thorn doing the very best (formation, players in position, motivation, tactics which can be changed mid match) with what he has. At the moment, I don't think he is. I agree with stability IF you are backing the right horse.
This "novice" manager has been massively more impressive in his communication, tactical awareness, motivation, man-management, team selection and player judgement than any of our previous 6 "experienced" managers. I don't want another has-been or never-was, I want a man with a fresh approach and vision. Thorn is that man. He's getting about 75% more out of this squad than our previous managers would have done, there is no doubt about that in my mind. So AT has made some errors? Maybe a handful of little ones...COLEMAN, DOWIE AND AIDY MADE AROUND A DOZEN ERRORS EACH GAME! They got MOST calls wrong! Plus they spoke to the fans as if we were ignorant idiots-Thorn tells it like it is. If he gets forced out by all you "Thorn out" fools, you will once again end up with the manager you deserve and I hope you enjoy L1!
I think if you include the Bury debacle it is 3 wins in 20 so I stand corrected. We did not win any of the last 4 games last season. I'll be right after Tuesday - It'll be 2 from 20 then. What will it be at the end of November do you think.
