He was part of the club
Although he left some of the reasons he went were right with hindsight, against most on here I would have him back as he is less of a Sisu apologist than Pressley and I think he actually watched the same game as the fans, Pressley trots out the same stuff about being unlucky playing well etc. Sisu though would never have him back.
Well I am guessing he just feels he hasn't got the backing of the players. If he's lost the dressing room it's pointless carrying on.
Twelve months ago Pressley would have been one of the favorites for this job but today I would imagine he is way off.
Foresight , then if you constantly criticised him from the startWhere's the hindsight? I've always said Andy Thorn wasn't a manager and constantly criticised him for his lack of nous and intelligence while he was at the helm of this club.
As I haven't been to Sixfields I find it hard to make much of a judgement on SP to be honest.
It was nothing to do with personal insults. He was just a shit manager that towed the SISU line and the majority on here lapped it up and showed they were clueless about football.Foresight , then if you constantly criticised him from the start I was at Bradford yesterday watching two players play left back ,two players play right back , a five foot centre forward trying to bring down high lump balls, and four out of five defenders which the manager considers worthy centre backs concede headed goals . Thorn always was an easy and popular target for personal insults You must have seen one away game , what's your foresight say about SP
Ok Sick BoyIt was nothing to do with personal insults. He was just a shit manager that towed the SISU line and the majority on here lapped it up and showed they were clueless about football.

Just breaking on sky sports now
Tbh I'd have Robins over Elvis everyday of the week
I would too. Could do a swap.
Alternatively, does the honourable thing and quits rather than wait for a compo payment from a sacking?
do managers really do that? I'd always assumed when managers walk or leave by mutual consent they really have been fired (we'll told they are about to be) and will continue to receive their contractual pay (or at least most of it). I'd have thought it something like we will let you leave with your head held high like its your own decision, you sign this no disclosure agreement and don't say anything nasty and we'll all wish each other well for the future.
I felt when Robbins left he was allowed too because he agreed to say the right things, his comments when leaving sounded like they had been written by sisu. Of course it's possible that is what he believed to be true as all his information had come from them.
The guy runs out on clubs when things start to go wrong, did it with us, Barnsley and now Hudders. Seems strange they would do this after the first game of the season but maybe a manager has come available that they want??
Wish Andy Thorn had done the honourable thing and quit, rather than carry on the delusion that it would all come right at some point.
He was "allowed" to leave as he was paid compensation - whatever he said he believed - even if you didn't like it. He is hardly the type to tow a party line as his managerial record shows.
He took over the worst side in league one (after they somehow drew with promotion side Yeovil, promotion favourites Sheffield Utd and low mid table Bury. )
I might be completely wrong but I just can't see that managers do this, you are in a job, getting a massive wage, say a mill a year, you aren't doing very well, if you leave it will be hard to get a similar quality job and similar money, if you stay you are guaranteed to get your mill a year till the contract runs out, who in this situation quits? It seems foolhardy.
He walked from Barnsley, he moved for a better deal from us and what we are told that he finished at Hudders..... they clearly do...
