I don't think so, he is not heelping the administration case. If he receives a fee or could receive a fee then surely he is a liability that Mr Appleton the administrator who is running the club should seek to remove.

Wouldn't worry about it too much. He's toast.

Not fit for the job, says one thing to please fans but after research usually means the exact opposite is true.
How he ever finds work again in football I don't know, no fans of any club in the future will believe a word that comes out of that big mouth of his again

He'd fit in well at Blackburn
Thorn should have gone last January when it had become crystal that he weren't up to the task of saving us from relegation yet dim Tim let him have the whole summer to bring in his own players and then sacked him a few games into the season

Haha! Yes he would, I like that!

Yes that makes sense.
If you agree with one decision a person makes. You should agree with every decision they make no matter what it is.
Is that not the way the world works?
This was his first job in football and, with his record here, will undoubtedly be his last.

There would have been outrage on here if he had of been sacked. The most anti-sisu posters are also those who backed Thorn the most. How can they be so critical of a board who gave someone who they believe to have one of the brightest careers in management?

RPHunt, I thought he had worked at Charlton Athletic before, but I agree with you it is almost definitely his last job in football

He certainly showed a lot of bravery to stick by one of the brightest talents in the game for so long, surely you should give him a lot of credit for it?

Not me as I was against his appointment from the off but just because some were behind the manager doesn't mean they approved of the mayhem the owners fronted by TF were causing in other areas of the club.

He stated in the summer that changing managers is one of the biggest problems with Coventry.
That Andy Thorn had not been backed. Now he would be backed and he would stick with him. 270 minutes later.......
So in a word 'no'

Anyone understands that
I backed his initial appointment based on him doing a decent job on a caretaker basis. I wouldn't have had a problem with Sisu sacking Thorn when results were so bad though and I suppose I class myself in the 'anti-sisu' camp.
Don't get me wrong I don't advocate the sacking of managers willy nilly, for instance I hate seeing managers get the boot when they're doing a good job (Adkins, Di Matteo etc) and I am fully aware that we have had too many managerial changes to last a lifetime but if a manager isn't doing the job he is paid for then he should go, it's as simple as that.
According to a friend of mine who supports Charlton, Fisher was never an employee of the club. He was commissioned, in a great fanfare of publicity, by the chairman to find a buyer. This was most likely, however, to bring pressure on the group that eventually bought the club and who were dithering at the time.
So no experience of running a football club, but he obviously knows a few things about being a puppet.

He actually said that? I thought that was a forum gag.

I backed Thorn staying.
I'd have backed him staying longer this season then he did.
Stupidity to stick with him through the summer then sack so soon. Either show faith or get rid.

Controversial maybe but I actually believe Tim Fisher is the only board member of CCFC ever to stand up to the Council. Whether the actions are right or wrong is the the big debate but I do think he's the only one with the balls to back his convictions.
For the record, I'm no fan of all SISU's actions but I think there's more to this than just black and white anti SISU or for SISU.

If a takeover of the club was to happen and someone else took the same action, then you can be certain that those against Fisher's actions would be behind them 100%.

Common sense, it is decisions like that, that give you a little insight into the thought processes that have led us to where we are today.
Knee jerk ill informed reactionary comments and decisions.

Exactly. I also think that regardless of SISU still funding the club, there is a new board in place now and it's very different to the previous Onye Igwe, Lenny B, Kenny D, board of the past and people shouldn't tar the new board with their actions.

It was ultimateley a catastrophic error of judgement by fisher and for that alone he should go,
To allow such a pathetic figure as thorn to manage one of the biggest budgets in the league defied belief. It is obvious he lacks the intellect to manage a club. He should have shown some metal and left him in Southampton to find his way home, a task he would probably still be trying to accomplish now.
With any real manager in may and the impetus shown from that point we'd be promoted or at least in the play offs even with the points reduction.

Did Bournemouth get promoted in the end?
I'd say they're Tarnishing their repututations splendidly in their own right ,in fact the others stand ahead of these dickheads in my opinion.

I'd be flabbergasted if anyone think's that he should stay. My eyes won't be moist if he leaves. He's a total apple-john.

Time to go fisher!!! No right to comment on the football club when in admin. Role of the administrator!!!
But then it prompted a response from ACL to say they are willing to negotiate. I wonder who they will be dealing with, SISU or PHIV
