Has Thorn Gone? (1 Viewer)

stgeorge1966 · Oct 12, 2011

Now I know we hear rumours all the time but in the space of the last 20 minutes I have had 2 texts from friends saying they have heard Andy Thorn has resigned !!!!
Just wondering has anybody else heard anything 2nite

guicey15 · Oct 12, 2011

No i'm pretty sure he's still with us :laugh:

Nonleagueherewecome · Oct 12, 2011

Well, where did your friends hear this?

stgeorge1966 · Oct 12, 2011

One lives in Oxford and he said he has heard from a sports reporter from the local paper, I know rumours start all the time just passing info on. The other friend hasn't answered my text to see where he heard it from !!

Glenn Storer · Oct 12, 2011

Done a quick round of the websites, nothing yet. I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if he had.

sky blue john · Oct 12, 2011

I wouldn't blame him he's not been backed by the board to even get one loan player in.

Skybluedar · Oct 12, 2011

The owners are a disgrace, I wouldn't be surprised if Thorn has walked... I would like to think it is just a rumour but with CCFC, you never know what is around the corner, and it's normally not good news...

Chipfat · Oct 12, 2011

So much stuff being rumoured now about the club,, Latest Carsley will be the new manager on Saturday with AT going back to his scouting role..... Whatever is happening i cant imagine its going to be good... We are now not only being run into the ground but ran by a board that seems to have control or support from with fans or within the club...

sky_blue_up_north · Oct 12, 2011

If he has it will be the final straw for many fans, I sick to the teeth of Orange Ken and his cronies giving us loads of bullshit. Just tell the truth Tango Man instead of this constant bollocks. Andy Thorn has never been backed by the board from day one, bastards

IrishSkyBlue · Oct 12, 2011

Havent seen anything online either, would you blame him tho sisu and the board have made a fool of him no backing what so ever if they actually went away and gave him money plus loan signings i think thorn would do well.

rob9872 · Oct 12, 2011

Now confirmed

that I will be shortly going to the fridge for another beer.

CovKingChris · Oct 12, 2011

My mate saw him at a bar drinking on his own the other day while he was working. Probably drowning his sorrows.

les_miserables · Oct 12, 2011

Are you surprised about the yarns spun by tango Ken, ha used to be a cop.

Your mate was working, or was Thorn on a scouting mission in a bar??

shy_tall_knight · Oct 13, 2011

Is that the same bar where he scouted Kevin Thornton from ?.

Danny · Oct 13, 2011

Rob where has it been confirmed?

It hasn't if you read his post properly.

If he goes I hope there's massive SISU out protests on Saturday

flammablepiss · Oct 13, 2011

Not on the CCFC site.... besides Harrison would be the temp in charge i'd have thought. Carsley aint no manager!
Not convinced! If it is true though then remaining positive can be shat out in a second

Same could've been said after Boothroyd went but they put Thorn in charge then. I hope this is just a stupid rumour by the way. 19 games is a ridiculous amount of time, especially with what's happening at our club.

I'm from oxford mate I have heard nothing

georgehudson · Oct 13, 2011

i sincerely hope not,
is the reply to the thread headline,
we CCFC fans, do not deserve this level of turbulence,
we are a club in crisis, brought about by (hidden) owners who profess to know so much about football,
it is not the 1st time that this has happened, doubtless it will not be the last, BUT,
those who are 'not' SKY BLUE' should make a realistic and honourable exit,
i personally feel it's time for 'the four letter word lot' to exit,

to the players i say, you are COVENTRY, (a phoenix that will rise from the ashes)
go for it !!!!!!!!!!!
to the anonymous owners i say, 'better luck next time',

Mr T - Sukka! · Oct 13, 2011

Sod It Sell Up

SISU OUT! New logo?

Paxman II · Oct 13, 2011

This is ridiculous and you are all suckers!

Gray · Oct 13, 2011

apparently there is going to be an announcement from the board tomorrow morning, although it could just be about the spin doctor

sw88 · Oct 13, 2011

Well Thursday today and things usually happen on a Thursday

Macca · Oct 13, 2011

would it matter if he had? Everytime we have a bad result and people question the manager the reply usually is "he has an impossible job, he can't affect anything due to lack of funds".

so really its doesn't make any odds who is the manager or if we have one at all

Otis · Oct 13, 2011

Agree.

And we all know that if Thorn goes, up to the plate would step Steve Harrison.

WillieStanley · Oct 13, 2011

Yoda speak, it is now. lol

Harrison wouldn't do it, of this I'm sure. So... Who else?

stay_up_skyblues · Oct 13, 2011

Whats another manager change up the City anyways? Its just how we roll.

Seriously though I can't see it. If Andy has any aspirations of becoming a decent manager walking out on our shower of a club wouldn't be a good move.

I think he would. Been a manager before.

WillieStanley · Oct 13, 2011

He put himself out of the race last time, and the time before that. I can't say I blame him! He seems to have the most secure job at the club!

dazzled2u · Oct 13, 2011

A mate made a bet with at the begging of the season that Oggy would be manager by the end of the currnet season. :thinking about:

I laughed and said no way but maybe he's going to take a tenner off me yet?

KersleyDigs · Oct 13, 2011

Bobby Gould would be the only one who wanted it!

He did, but interestingly enough he has always stayed on the management team in a coaching or assistant manager capacity. Be interesting to see what would happen if the board says take the manager's role or you are out of the door with AT.

Just wonder if he has turned it down before because he has been guaranteed a position at the club.
