Realistically what do we think the chances are of holding on to Murphy, Wood, Christie, Baker & L.Clarke? Personally I see these as the spine of a team for next season but following recent events I find it difficult to believe they'll all still be at CCFC if offers come in
I also like Thomas, Fleck, J.Clarke, Bailey +/- Elliott to have in the squad...
Well yes, therefore he is not a 100% genius if he doesn't "get them all right" - by definition.
Gint11 do you not rate Adams?
You would keep philliskirk and Jeffers based on what?
Based on their potential
Waggot signs the players, but Thorn identifies his targets, that's the normal role of a 'Director of Football'. Example, Thorn said he wanted McG, when we signed him, Waggott said to Shaw & LC hat he was available, they said they wanted him, we sign him.
Funny how you blame shit signings on SISU and not Thorn - can you see the bigger picture with those blinkers on?
Waggott has been a good appointment, and I'd like him to remain at CCFC post-SISU. I'm not 100% but I'm sure Thorn was manager before Waggott came?

The bigger picture is that AT was a good manager who was given absolutely no support from SISU last season - all the SISU fans hate him because he is a convenient scapegoat for their failures
Dunn, Malaga, Barton, Jennings, Philiskirk, Jeffers aren't out of contract
:facepalm:
The 500k backing he did get, he spent it on Cody McDonald! 500k WASTED!
He was backed this summer, only good players he signed were; Barton, Fleck, Jennings.
If he was such a good manager, why hasn't he got a job? He's applied for Plymouth, Chesterfield, Bournemouth, AFC Wimbledon, and just about any job opening available, no job, are those clubs Pro-SISU who use him as a scapegoat?
Waggott was right when he spoke about a 'hand-picked' team, and Thorn shown the same trends this season that occurred last season.
The fact that we dropped over 20 points from winning positions last season suggests that we had a team that could've stayed up, which a good manager would've done. A good manager makes a shit team a mediocre team, Thorn made a shit team, a shit team. Looked at Watford, shit team, came 13th, shit to mediocre under Dyche. Thorn was a flawed manager and was relieved when I heard he was sacked.
This defence of Thorn is embarrassing.
Has he promised a transfer kitty?
Philliskirk and Jeffers are...........arent they?
The sacking after 4 unbeaten games was embarrassing - a Venky's esque action by our clueless owners.
How do you know which jobs he applied for? Did you ever consider the embarrassing hatred poured at him by the likes of you is the reason his reputation has suffered?
I am not aware of any mistakes he made - a top man who was sold out by SISU and never had a chance. You like standing up for unpopular causes don't you? Seem like you have some kind of chip on your shoulder.
Venkyesque? It wasn't just 4 games was it!? He had the lowest win % as manager for CCFC ever! He had 60-odd games as manager! Considering we got Robins in after his joke era, it turned out to be a shrewd move!
When people from other clubs considered him as a candidate, do you seriously think they seen my, and others views on Thorn!? :laugh: :laugh: They would've looked at his time at CCFC, relegation, after blowing so many chances! Worst away record in Britain in any league, 20 odd points dropped from winning positions and many points dropped in the last 10 minutes (because his teams were so unfit!), he had contradictory tactics, as said above, worst win % as CCFC manager. Just because we had no investment didn't mean we were guaranteed relegation, Watford were touted to go down, favourites at one point (?) yet came 13th under Dyche! Whatever investment he had backfired massively, 500k wasted on Cody, rated Bell (and Hussey) offered him the extension, in the summer, signed; Ball, Elliott, Edj, Malaga, Kilbane and Brown who were shit and Fleck, Barton and Jennings, only 1 of those have appeared regularly.
I'm the one taking unpopular causes!? Did you actually just say that!? Let me remind you; rent is fair, hope ACL issue winding up order, Thorn is a good manager, you sir, are intensly deluded.
I'm literally crying, and I think I've pissed myself!ointlaugh: :laugh:
Err, ok. It really made sense to allow AT to put together a new squad this season and then sack him after 4 unbeaten games, didn't it. The courts found against SISU when they awarded him damages for unfair dismissal - convenient how you forget that.
Everyone I knew who is a city fan knew even when Aidy that we would be going down in 2011/12 due to lack of SISU backing.
You seem to have a real pathalogical hatred of the man, what did he do, shag your mum?

The bigger picture is that AT was a good manager
It's not a big picture. It exists in only yours and Dongles mind.
