It is his first job in management, sees potential and wants to keep the team up, and do the job that he was given to do. While it is mathematically possible he doesn't want to quit and turn his back on the club. That is why he doesn't want to. Whether he should take it upon himself to do it is his decision. However what I will say is, a statement like, "that was probably our worst performance of the season, but the boys they gave me everything" - it just doesn't wash. If that's everything, we will go down for sure and he may aswell pack it in.

Why hasn't ge resigned? Same reason I haven't - it's a well paid job and he has a family to feed.

Personally I feel that part of the reason we are in this mess is because of change, from changing our managers to changing the look of our squad. And to be honest I don't really no if changing manager would work. Obviously you don't no if you don't try. It's a double ended sword. If we change manager and get relegated then we will say we shouldn't have changed. If we don't change and get relegated we will always wonder what if.
Totally agree with SKA88's comments - I'm sick of the 'grass is greener let's change' people - has got us nowhere - sorry it's got us probably relegated this season but that's more to do with SISU than the manager. One other point about AT that folks may be overlooking is that he's no quitter. Just check out his Wimbledon days. Perdonally I hope he stays on until at least the end of the season and we wait and see what ownership chnages or SISU commitments develop.

A couple of months ago all we ever saw on here was SISU out. Now everything is the fault of AT. We have a sh1t squad. AT has them playing well for who we have. Yes, we have a lack of goals, but we also have a lack of goalscorers. SISU's fault, not AT. If we had a goalscorer or two we would be much higher in the table. We do not get hammered. Even the Hammers got hammered bu Ipswich. Did we? And we are still playing crap under AT :thinking about:
SISU out, not AT. This is the change we need.

He will have to be pushed. I wouldn't resign from my first ever management job! I like him would still believe I could make it happen. It's the owners who need to wake up to reality and fast!
I'd be putting in a call to Simon Grayson who knows league 1 like the back of his hand and secondly Dave Jones.
IF Hoffman and co are anywhere down the road to making a deal happen then surely the consensus would be to take some action now with SISU and bring in a guy immediately. If you were Hoffman you would be asking for that change in good faith to happen sooner rather than later surely?....and if not then I'm beginning to doubt the validity of Hoffman's 'secretive' talks?

Hi Fellas.
If the flame of a take over is still flickering,It would make no sense to change the manager at this stage.
Whoever takes over the club, will without doubt want to bring his own man in, so what would be the point in bringing in a Thorn Replacement, if he in turn would be replaced in a matter of weeks.

What we are doing now isn't working. So a change is required so as to create something new. New might be worse but after Saturday I'm now convinced it will take an act of God for us to stay up!

Seemingly he has the backing of the player squad, what happens if the players dont embrace the new manager and his ways? We will be even worse off.

Another patronising post, do you really think that if we are 4th in the Premier i would be calling for the managers job,!!!
Saying this is pathetic, nonsensical, ridiculous, ludicrous, absurd,featherheaded and any other word that means illogical
A lot on this site have sat watching the skyblues for fourty years or more,and but for one day in May 1987 we have had nothing to shout about, so you really think if we are fourth we'd be calling for his head. I can not believe sometimes the shite people come out with.
I promise you that if we were 4th in the Premier at this stage of the season, i would willingly streak from the Ricoh down to Highfield Road.

whats worse than bottom? surely things can only get better
its a calculate risk and it all adds up to changing the manager

But thats one of the problems. Wenger has both the players and the knowhow to turn things around. Thorn is to inept to make the changes that are needed during the game. The lack of players is not his fault it is the tossers who own us. How the players who we do have play is down to Thorn not the tossers. So they are both responsible for where we are and likely to end up. Which is why we need them both to go.

SBS on the basis that ......
1)AT is not going to turn round and say he has lost the confidence of the players
and 2) no player is going to say he has no confidence in the manager
how exactly do we know what the real feeling in the squad is ?

Unfortunately you made a bad analogy there. Wenger has proved himself as a manager and won many cups and league titles. Arsenal fans should really have been giving him a bit more backing because he has proved himself in the past.
Here we have a scout as a manager.

Going back to Arsenal fans, they have been clearly been spoilt if they think they should always be better and higher in the league.
I have a good friend i grew up with back in England, who absolutely has devoted his life to following Arsenal. He goes every game , home and away and it does'nt matter if its in the Carling Cup. He goes to every Champions league game home and away, and i love his devotion and love/passion for the club.
The other side to this, is it has cost him two marriages, and he now lives on his own in a flat above a fancy dress shop and hardly see's his kids,as it got a bit messy at the end of both. He definately put Arsenal above his wifes and kids, something i could'nt do, but it shows his commitment and love of the Gunnars.
To bore you further with my life's tales, i ve 3 other mates who have changed team, from Chelsea to Arsenal to Spurs, i can't remember the order, (how can anyone calling them a fan of a club, contemplate doing this), and i believe the top London and Manchester clubs have fans like this who change, probably thousands of so called fairweather fans.
I think these so called fairweather fans are the one's calling for Wengers head, and if he don't go soon they will change there team once again back to either Chelski or Spurs.

All comes down to expectations-Wenger had Arsenal being title challengers for a good decade, so to glory hunters and success hungry fans alike, going from that to fighting for 4th spot has people frustrated, all the more so with Spurs' great form this season.

Wasn't that my point. Thorn hasn't got the experience to run the team especially when we need to defend a lead or get a win

It is clear AT does care about Coventry. He won't resign because 1.. He won't have a job and 2...we would be fucked!.... There isn't time to disrupt the team and bring someone else in now. It is too late and i'm convinced it would make our results worse. Thorn may not be great but It doesn't benefit anyone rite now.
Thorn should accept that he hasn't been able make it work with the pile of shite he has and let somebody else attempt to them stink less.
Jimmy Hills stature moved more than Clinghan, Bell and Deegan on Saturday. Embarrasingly slow, sluggish and non athletic for pro footballers. Like watching the QE2 turning into dock. There a problem and should never of been signed or so many slow players signed.
First we had too many left sided players now we have to many slugs in the side.
