Not sure about these short term appointments? He managed Chelsea (first FA cup win), QPR (highest ever finish), did 4 or 5 years at Man Utd and then came to us for 2 seasons - which is longer than most of our managers in the last 10 years have managed. Will we ever have a manager of his...

Many a happy hour sat in front of it :D

Think he was Youth Team Coach in those days.

Assume it was Mick McGuire, but I think he'd gone to Norwich well before Dave Sexton arrived.

Dave Sexton built an exciting young team at Coventry to follow up his earlier success at Chelsea and QPR and his spell as Man United manager. In my view he was very unlucky to be sacked when the then new Chairman Iain Jameson brought in Bobby Gould (for his first spell as manager). It seemed...

The source of the money is not relevant. There are effectively 2 options for SISU to "walk away". The first is a sale. If they go down this route all my earlier comments apply and their investors will have to take a "bath", a "haircut" or whichever other metaphor you prefer, because as...

This isn't a pop at you CJ, but there have been a number of posts where people have said that it would cost £40/50/60m (as you prefer) to take over the club, because SISU have invested that much. The amount that they've invested is obviously of massive interest to them and I'm sure that they'd...

What about when 2 teams in the top 6 plat each other?????? That could push us down to 9th or 10th :D

Yes, it always amuses me that footballers' "wages" are still referred to "per week".

I know a guy (sorry but it's the best info I've got) who works for one of the football agents and he reckoned that over the summer, the maximum that Cov could/would pay was £3k per week.

Is he the guy that Pol Pot thought was Eric Black?

Wise words. The daft bit is that I wouldn't have been surprised or particularly upset if Thorn had gone at the end of last season. I don't like unfairness though and try as I might, I do sometimes find it difficult to ignore the vitriolic half truths that the chosen few continue to post...

Personally I'm interested in how the club is being run. I've had to tell a good number of people that they were out of a job. I've never enjoyed it but I always tried to do it so that they kept the most dignity - for the avoidance of doubt this would exclude doing it by phone. I think...

I guess the key "fact" was that he was sacked by phone. Presumably if that wasn't true there would have been a statement from the club refuting it.

I don't claim to read every post on this site, but I can't recall any "AT is the best since Hill" posts for quite some time - so if I understand you correctly that your posts referred to above are a deliberate overstatement in response to them, perhaps you can drop them now :)

Sadly over recent years, it seems that much of what is said about CCFC by those in the know (or those who should be in the know) is (choosing his words carefully) open to debate.

True, Thorn was given four games with the new squad.

Yes, I would also have been happy with that - incidentally it was strongly rumoured that RR favoured him too. I was just thinking that your faith in him must have been tested by him not being "snapped up" by another club over such a long period - given that it seems you hold this measure in...

Yes, I've noticed you trot out this line on a number of occassions. I presume that you were dead set against the appointment of Robins given that he'd not been snapped up in the 18 months or so he was out of management - and so was, by your reckoning, obviously not "a man of such talent". :D
