I presumed exactly that KG82, but i was well and truly put in my place by a fellow poster who told me i was talking bullshite.I'm not certain on this but I think it's a rolling contract so there's no need for him to keep signing it?

He said, in his experience, the contract has to be renewed annually, and either side can walk away.
If we have an expert on here, it would be nice to know exactly what a rolling contract is, for arguments sake

it's a 1 year rolling contract he's on which means all that needs to happen is to say we want you and thorn to say ok and it just rolls on
We should sign up on a lengthy contract before he is snapped up by the likes of Blues/Swansea etc who are in the market for a new manager.
No, Nick it isn't.
AT has a reputation for playing good football, and Stan Collymore had him for manager of the year (if he kept us up), so you have got to think that a team like Swansea at the very least who also play good football, would be looking at someone like AT and be keeping tabs on him.
To compound the situation he now also has his Entry Level FA badge.
Now, I don't mind Andy Thorn and in the great Thorn Vs SISU debate that was raging last season I generally came down on his side. However, to suggest that Birmingham, or even Swansea(!!!) might poach him is a touch over the top.
Well said, KD.
But I believe that AT will mould whichever 11 he has on the pitch because of his footballing philosphy.
He plays almost a '1970s Dutch total football' system where no matter who plays, they just slot into the position and do the job. I firmly believe that you could play Jordan Clarke up front and he would perform, or have Bell, Hussey and Deegan constantly switching roles and confusing the opposition as they slot seamlessly into any position on the pitch.
I am looking forward to AT showing these L1 teams a thing or two this season.
Lads, all I am saying is that in the Premier League, with more time on the ball, AT's 'Total Football' philosphy could be a winner. That will have been noticed by some...and now he is a man with a badge, his stock will only rise.
Remember, he has, as far as the wider footballing world is concerned, come out of our relegation relatively blameless...in fact, the media and other managers confirmed in their post-match conferences of the way he plays the game.
It will have done him no harm...and I believe that beyond CCFC he will succeed....and he deserves to, as he is a top bloke who plays the beautiful game beautifully.
Yes but without the players to do that, he should be adapting to a style to get the best out of what we have.
It is ok for every manager to say that they with millions in the budget he would get better results. The real good managers get the best out of what they have, and work to the players strengths.
I am not saying SISU are blameless at all, or the players but I just think Thorn gets away with murder.
It may a little over the top, Mark, but the point I am trying to make is what AT is TRYING to achieve.
It is clear that he is not a Route 1 merchant, and despite all of the issues he has faced, he should receive some credit for at least trying to play the game the right way.
The easier option is to put a big lump up front and hoof it to him....I'm glad AT doesn't take that option.
Surely everyone can see what AT is trying to do and give him some credit for that????
I also predict that armed with his coaching badges, we will see AT take the beautiful game to the next level.
He couldn't KD, AT was acquiring his badges at Warwick Uni.
I bet AT would have seen the Russians tonight and be purring with expectation of what he can now replicate at ryton.
He'll be chomping at the bit to 'be back at it' with 'a good bunch of lads' on 1 July.
wish in a parallel universe for one year we could see the two comparisons of
1)
AT with a decent squad respectable squad that should challenge for the play offs for whatever league he is in
2)
At with a squad created by a bunch of incompetent Muppets who have dug themselves into a hole wasting other people's money and now trying to dig out of the whole. Whose decisions are always of recent time based purely on short term financial gain as oppose to long term competitive gain of the squad and ingratiated the partner agencies you may soon be trying to strike a deal with
This would be the only way this particular debate would ever be settled.
Didnt he say he would walk if he didnt receive financial backing
