Yes, I am one of the multitudes who say relegation was unequivocally outside of Thorn's sphere of influence and the manager of a football team has nothing whatsoever to do with the outcome of their season. Oh no, that's bollocks.

Yeah, we'll see on the Edge. The YouTube video seemed to show some qualities which indicated fans might take to him and, by the sounds of his performance today, there is still some way to go. It was only his second run out of pre-season football after a very recent transfer. Offered a three year...

Saying that you will want Thorn gone even if we get promoted as champions of League 1 (hypothetically) strikes me as a bit of a shame. It indicates such a determination to stick to your viewpoints and not be proved wrong, that you can't see the wood for the trees. The use of the word 'hatred'...

Everything I have heard about Malaga has been positive, what do you reckon our chances are of having a bit of a fans' favourite at the back again next season, sw88? Cheers for the updates.

I think Jennings should be captain of Coventry City. I don't think vice captaincy would be the making of Conor Thomas, I think it would be unnecessary and I'm not sure he is vocal or commanding enough to suit the role. I wouldn't let it near Sheffers and I don't really see Kilbane as skipper...

I liked the Wood - McPake centre back pairing not so long ago. I was certain they would both do a job in League 1. I am not sold on Cameron. However, a club gets relegated, having already operated on a shoe string, and replaces a top earner with a promising loanee... makes sense. I am looking...

I doffed my cap to the fact that last season was incredibly difficult to have as your debut in professional football. A few bridges too far, I don't think there was much pressure or expectation from the stands. I just think football prices are baffling and found it hard to say that he was worth...

In all fairness, I think stating that Bigi would have been a future £25m player on last season seems like hyperbole. Notwithstanding the fact he looked like young brilliance upon several occasions, it was a long hard attritional and relagation tinted season, and the fact he now has better...

Nice bloke too, for what it's worth. He looked a little bit suspect defensively to me when we very first got him and he was playing at right back, although he wasn't shy of a dribble forward and absolutely grew into the season. He was generally magnificent at centre back last season. Decent...

I meant 'he is not the best manager in the land, he is not the worst manager in the land'. I was not aware he is statistically the worst manager Coventry have had. It surprises me that there are any who are not wildly anti-Thorn... I rarely heard comments or boos about him at the ground last...

Just when I thought I was out... To answer your final question (as it is the most straightforward). Yes.

Re: your first line. You didn't get it. I was commenting directly on the quote from you, as you. Go again. I have just seen the stuff you added and I can't be jarred to respond and am bidding this thread a cheerful goodnight ("weak / no comeback / I win", notwithstanding). * Edit - put the...

Your viewpoint = 'we will never know' My viewpoint = 'I guarantee' FACT?

Alright, you have reeled me in enough. I haven't said this for a few weeks, granted. My viewpoints are thus and refer exclusively to last season as I don't think he has done too much wrong in the close season... Andy Thorn was not the greatest manager in the Championship. He lacked experience...

We are neither losing, nor winning. Has no one ever put the exact same statement I referred to directly to you before? Just once? How did that resolve, several pages of tired old bullshit ('discussion') later? It is the close season. We are not carrying on losing. Wind it in, fisherman.

This is not the place for those curious types, Nick (see original post).

Shh, this thread will be 11 pages long in no time. Let them tire themselves out before the start of the season.

Gaz, you have created a monster.

How many pairs do you have at your disposal or are you trying to force yours on me? Either way, I am appalled you have used this forum in such a flirtatious manner. Stick to the playground insults, if I was that way inclined I would be out of your league. x

There is a difference between disagreeing that Best was a useless, lazy and shit player / thinking he is better than Dublin. I will loan you a touch of perspective, if you promise not to fuck it up..?
