I go every week and want him sacked
One suspects a lot of these so called supporters that want him out do so from home.
Can't be bothered and not got time to read through this thread, but AT won't be given the boot yet. Also, how can anyone say that Carsley or Shaw should take over? They have less experience than AT and are supposed to be helping out by sorting our defensive play.

The supporter issue is the main point actually.
Thorn is supposed to be a popular manager but crowds look likely to be down by 25% this year and there was a similar decline last year.

He is not engaging fans and clearly has not given anyone confidence we will have a successful season.
Are the crowds down because of Thorn or Sisu ?
If you support Thorn, then you are a "so called supporter" ( Thats sad, even for you )
They are so called because they do not go. Look at the evidence in the ground. Lots in the ground boo him the radio station is bombarded with people saying sack him this message board has at least 70% now calling for him to go.
What does it take to make you see it?
Vote of confidence perhaps?I've just had a text from a mate and he said there is going to be and official statement by the club in a matter of hours. Just what my mate sent to probably nothing to it, but who knows we can always dream
Most people who call into CWR and moan, don't go the Ricoh when asked if they came. So you are wrong there.
The booing that I hear is for the Team as a whole.
I have never heard once, any fan shout Thorn out
Maybe you could grow a pair and do it next home game ?
If I think we are not going to do well with Thorn then i'll say so, but changing the manager without giving him a fair chance with his team is just crazy.
THREE games in YES 3 ! games into the season , we are unbeaten, that isn't enough for me to say he has to go.
Because where has sacking gaffers got us? He's had HIS team a matter of weeks. Yes I'm as frustrated as everyone. But thorn getting the bullet isn't the answer. I think this team, with thorn is more than good enough to compete for top 6. Anyone believing we should walk into auto promotion are crazy. If we played the game we had today after 10-15 games we would have been 4-0 up at HT. it's early doors and players are still getting the sharpness. But pulling the trigger 3 games in is typical Coventry and pathetic. Sacking managers and rebuilding is why we're here.
But what or who do you consider inexperieneced...look at Chris Powell at Charlton!? Could Lee Carsley/ Richard Shaw turn into them....Charlton tried the experienced tried and trusted manager route look where it got them untill now!!
Good post. I'm still not sure, I agree that it is early days and that's there's still all to play for. However the mistakes made over the last 3 games are the same as last season, making changes to late, Not being able to hold the lead. Was it just the players last season? Or was it Thorns tactics? If we don't act soon will it be to late? I honestly don't know. After the way we played first half I was really impressed and I guess Thorn deserves credit for that, however how the hell can you perform so badly just 15 mins later? I just don't know what we should do. I guess all we really can do is get up the Ricoh and show our support for the players! PUSB
Don't think any of us believed Eric Black would be a success after the disaster that was Gary McAllister and with Black himself being part of that very management team.
Simply unreasonable to say that any of AT's team would be a disaster. Every man to himself is an individual and would do things in his own unique way.
Not really,I remember when we managed to snatch a defeat out of the jaws of a draw several times thoughAnybody remember the last time we went for it to claw back a result?
Plus, as many have said, you do the best with what you've got. I truly believe he hasn't. How can a team get into winning positions so often? Kids not hardened enough? Maybe. Or the wrong tactics, no ability to change and a stubbornness on a system that just doesn't work! He said himself he sent teams out last year to not lose not to win. The claim is this year will be different. I see NO difference. Different faces, same ineptitude tactically.Lets just blow one on going myth out of the water. Andy Thorn has had time, plenty of it. Yes players have been sold around him and in the early part of last season the number of youth team players he needed to pick was a joke, but since Christmas we have had the majority of our "senior" players available and in the squad, just as we have now. The tools AT has to work with can no longer be an excuse, remember one of our most inexperienced players of last season who hardly played after Xmas, Brigiranna is now knocking on Newcastle Uniteds first team door.

Grendel, think you overestimate the influence (if any) of this forum. 70% of - lets be generous and say - 300 people, not very many is it? A tiny fraction of the City support. A few on here make a lot of noise and it is a good place for people to express their views, but it isn't representative of the City support.
Of course it's representative. MORI and exit polls take a far lower percentage of the electorate and confidently predict results with an error margin of 5%.
I don't know what games Gaz goes to. Thorn got plenty of abuse at the end.
Ask yourself this if he was sacked tomorrow do you think it will adversely affect attendances?
MORI polls have a sample size of over 1000 and are not self selecting. Not saying SBT isn't representative but that poll proves nothing.
Lynch reckons its Happening today! He's a lot more reliable than this OP!
I'll accept apologies
He was sacked last night, announced today.
