Astute,i am not angry at Thorn just dont understand the position of him been called the Manager of Coventry City Fc,what does he manage?or did he manage?Total joke and the players under him next season,where do they find their inspiriation from?.......his team talks?
It's a dead debate - even I can't be bothered to argue anymore.
I agree it is Yadda Yadda Yadda's fault. I take that is a new member of the board?
So we played better football before he took over?
Aim your anger at SISU. It is them that has decimated our club, and I still see no end to it.
What decent manager would come to us with a small squad of mainly young players, in Div3 and with the embargo in place. Then put on top of all of that still run by SISU
So who thinks SISU are not to blame for our predicament then?
Of course they are...but with any issue there are several causes.
SISU are the major reason, but AT is out of his depth.
His results prove that he is the man for the job.....oh, shit he's won 12 games from 58....playing great football....I'm confused...:facepalm:
Some claim that he is the man to lead us out of L1...still waiting for the evidence of this.....:thinking about:
If our football was so great, why did we win 9 games all season and were one of the lowest scorers????
He's here for the start of the season, unfortunately, so we're stuck with his 'tactical and motivational genius'....I'll give him 10 games and see where he has got us.....bottom half and the pressure has to be on
Of course SISU are to blame. It is funny I guess that they are slated for everything (and will be when Keogh leaves) except for the managerial appointment which to some was a stroke of genius. Useless board, hopeless players, extending contracts to the worst players but shrewd managerial apointment?:facepalm:

KD I don't remember seeing any posts saying it was a shrewd managerial appointment but if thats what you want to believe !!!
I believe he was never given the tools to do the job and whilst Sisu are in charge you could be manager and I wouldn't give a flying feck !!!!!
Obviously once or if the shisters go then thats the time to review this discussion.
If it was a straight forward choice of change the manager or get a new player I would take the new player.
KD its also easy to say get rid of the manager !! but your not coming up with solutions. Give me some names if you can of realistic available managers who would be banging down our door to manage us in the third tier of football that would also work for the same sort of money or a little bit more than AT. Also would be happy just to take a years contract ?
ps get LBB and Ichan to help you out with this conundrum.
Hi Fellas
Although thorn led us into relegation it could be strongly argued that Thorns style of football eclipsed that of any other Manager wev'e had at the Ricoh
I saw plenty of supporters wanting his appointment. I believe SISU were looking at Mark Robbins but cannot confirm.
Anyway your defence is hardly robust is it. No one wants it, no one could do better etc. There would be applicants who have better experience and the general qualities required to man manage and motivate. These will be League One and League Two level but that is what we could do with - a manager with some experience and who sees this as a career opportunity not just another payday.
Truth is SISU and Thorn are intertwined at the minute because a new manager would want a better working arrangement than Thorn expects. That is no bad thing - his stay prolongs the problems.
Well. to quote you on the radio a few months ago, "There's no point blaming Thorn, the players just aren't good enough". Hmm?
Even if LBB did say that, are you really stating that the manager has no blame to shoulder? Hmmm????
If you are, then why have a manager...as AT serves no purpose in your argument...it's all about the owners, and the players on the pitch.
In February/March, when all the transfer dealings had been done, and we had what we had, then it was down to the players to carry out Thorn's instructions/tactics and be motivated by him. After a game, you have to look at players and their contribution...or does that have no bearing on what has happened...success or failure????
No the season is over, let's reflect...
Players? Let us down.
Tactics? That good we failed to win any of our last 6....against the so-called 'easier' teams.
Motivation? The lack of early goals in each half/slow start to games on the back foot, particularly at home show how fired up 'the lads' are by AT.
Good football? That good that we had a 18% win ratio last season.....THE WORST IN THE LEAGUE FFS!!!! :facepalm:
Over to you to give some evidence why AT is THE MAN to lead us out of L1......:thinking about:
