That's why they are not viable, if there was money available i'd be calling for change with the rest of you. I'm not defending thorn here, just saying it how i see it.
As tight as SISU are, I fancy they are savvy enough to realise what an easy bet it is to make. Paying off Thorn and bumping the salary of Rioch/Carsley/another is chump change compared to the potential returns of staying in the division. I reckon what's holding them back is either them being okay with the club being relegated (as part of some complex financial get-out), or they are afraid of the fan reaction in sacking AT.
But by the look of things that would be a positive move from their perspective if they wanted tonget some positive press with the fans so why don't they just do it then? Because there is no one else they can afford to bring in. I don't understand the calls for carsley, he is just as inexperienced so why would that work?

All managers are inexperienced when they take their first jobs; that doesn't make all of them failures. There's no guarantee that LC or GR or anyone else would be more successful than AT, but a hopeful change is better than certain failure.
