I'd heard of him without ever hearing too much about him. Sounds like he might just be a talented ball player... Norwood Mark 2, perhaps (except we own him). Sometimes players are not the same after big injuries, sometimes they come back with a vengeance. He is still only 21, doesn't sound like...

I mention balance, because it would be nice to discuss something without the same old bobbins coming out ad infinitum. People can have firm views on subjects without coming across as ignorant or dismissive, that much is true. As is the reverse (note - willing to listen to the viewpoints of...

* very few on here believe Thorn hasn't got any inadequacies

No, respect is certainly earned through actions. So, I would say that - in a list of what makes a good manager - having respect from your playing staff is part of the process and would indicate that there is something about the manager, after all. I may have put the chicken before the egg. Or...

Fuck, I knew I spelt 'judgment' wrong.

Clarrie... No one on here acts like the 'grammar' police unless you make errors on the same line as calling someone else illiterate. Practice what you preach, a little consistency and balance leads to a healthier discussion. I do not consider myself 'pro-Thorn', only 'pro-Coventry', but am...

True, but it doesn't make it commonplace. Bellamy has long come across as a fairly nasty piece of work, but that was to his credit. Decent enough player. Didn't see much of him during his time at Cov as I was away at university.

Don't accommodate me, the power will go to my head. In all fairness, it was a straightforward enough question and 'yes / no' would have been plenty for people to go on. I am just a bit down on the whole Thorn debate on here... I thought he came in for some unfair criticism last season, but I am...

Is Thorn the man to win us promotion? I do not know enought about our new players, the other squads or the other managers to say categorically 'yes / no'. As there is no option for people like me, I am clicking neither. I bow to your superior knowledge of the competition, I have never said we...

Is Thorn up to the job as manager? Vote 1 for black and 2 for white. For that reason, I am out. 'Is Thorn the man to take us up' is a poll people could better get their teeth into, but I still would assert that 'yes / no' is too simplistic and will not suit everyone...

If the options were sack him now / let him start the season, I think the latter would win. If the options were Thorn is the wrong man for the job / the right man for the job, it may well be that the former would win. It may be that the former would always have won, but several people miss the...

Yeah, the Wrexham fan who did an earlier thread said that he has been on a good run of goalscoring form and has looked a decent prospect for them, amongst others.

Just in case you believe this, no-one told you off. This is a football forum, your melodrama is noted, but unnecessary (and there was you telling people earlier they were being too sensitive!). Several people said the tired old back AND FORTH about Thorn seems to crop up on too many...

I was interested in what you had heard and had not heard any negative rumours. I had about Boothroyd, not about Thorn. That's why I asked. Not to shout you down or to try to discredit you. The only players I have spoken to are ROD (last season when not getting a game) and Keogh / McSheffrey this...

Genuinely, no. What have you heard?

And Whelan - not even employed by the Club - didn't call any one individual fucking pathetic. The Thorn argument has raged tonight (entirely fair enough) and people can't see the wood for the trees (I've never used that phrase before, this forum has got a lot to answer for).

I am not on twitter, but he will be talking about the performance, the result or some abuse that has been levelled at him. Do you genuinely think he has gone on twitter and slated the manager of the football team he plays for (effectively his line manager, straight after the game)? Unless he has...

Yes. He is describing the manager of the team he plays for as fucking pathetic on an open forum. Obviously. Engage your brains, people.

Hold on, I'm coming with. Let me get rid of this paddle first...
