A manager that didn't even bother to turn up at the training ground?

Yes it was a joke. I voted black purely as the football we played under him and he should have had a chance to develop the season after. Dowie and boothroyd were also sacked unfairly in my view.

Why is thorn on here anyway as the question is in the past tense? If he wins does that mean he gets the boot? Can I change my vote?

This poll is a fix. Everyone would vote Adrian heath given the chance.

Are people being serious when they say Thorn is the Beaty manager?

Voted for AT, but Coleman was only sacked on the back of one bad run (especially that 0-4 against Watford). In March 2010 City were a point outside the play-offs after the away win at P'boro - we were dreaming of the Premiership - 2 months later we had finished lower half and CC was a gonner. It's been downhill ever since.

Because in spite of the team's situation i.e. owners, squad quality, bad luck etc, he has shown a lot of bottle in playing the right way. I think in the circumstances he's doing a great job.
The fans chant him name, even now - don't remember anyone singing Aidy or Coleman's names at games, never mind Dowie. That alone should tell you something.

Also I don't remember any chanting in the ground to sack the managers either. Hardly a strong case for the defense is it? Block 15 sang and thorn twice today M'lud?

Roland " not a hair out of place " nilsson for me, i truly think his professionalism would have payed dividends in the end. What this list proves is that we have had too many kneejerk sackings over the years.

You are right, perhaps the others that voted for Thorn also voted for Wagner the next year on X factor.

Has to be Eric Black, Fast attacking football, that team he had was dreadful, managed to get the best out of them, picked up 1 or 2 players on loan, Bjarni Gudjonsson was the pick of the bunch. Sticking 4, 5 & 6's against other teams. Roland Nilsson is a close 2nd, although playing the best football, the team he had was class for this league and really should of been promoted. Would have come in the 2nd season if we'd kept him.
Saying that, I'd take Nilsson over Black, reckon with a bit of money Nilsson would achieve more.

I'd like to have seen what EB could have achieved but to say he had an awful squad is stretching it a bit. I'd take that one over the current one anyday
]Shearer; Gudjonsson (Kerr 85); Warnock; Konjic; Davenport; Deloumeaux; Safri; McSheffrey; Barrett (Shaw 79); Doyle; Morrell.
Subs not used - Brush; Jorgensen; Whing.
Thats the line up from the day we smashed Gillingham. I would suggest its stronger than what we have now
