So just to be clear - I'm assuming that you're happy that the 4 signings (albeit 1 is unfit) are a significant step forward?

So why waste scarce resources in signing players and then not picking them? One can only speculate what you might have said about Thorn in that situation.........

The 3 loans and Moussa don't count?

At the time of the takeover I was happy that someone was prepared to invest in us. I was also hopeful that we would gain some competitive advantage by being run as a professional organisation. I did however have a concern that if things went badly, SISU would be unlikely to "do the right...

And your view on whether the moon landings really happened?? :):)

I know that your tongue is in your cheek - but it's a very smart move. It's been expected that they'll be going for a float in the next year or two and whatever your personal views, Hoffman will give them serious credibility in the City.

Think he might be a bit too busy now - it was announced yesterday that he's the new CEO of Hastings Insurance.

Personally I'm in favour of the disciplined approach, however.... anyone remember the stories of unrest in the club because AB was so regimented in the way everything was done. When Thorn came in and "treated players as grown ups", that seemed to get a positive reaction. Then people get used...

Just want to make sure I've got this right..... Are you saying that it is your considered opinion that the players will perform better, the more we boo them?

Are you honestly saying that you can't see any difference in effect on a player's (or a team's) confidence between being booed by the opposition supporters and being booed by their own supporters?

Football is very much a confidence game. I can just about understand people booing "in the heat of the moment", but surely everyone can see that the effect of booing will be to reduce confidence and thus to reduce performance.

Good player. Wish we still had him.

Whilst others maintain that everything was Ranson's (or even more oddly Hoffman the non-exec director's) fault despite SISU having control of the business. Just goes to show that everyone will believe what they want to.

Welcome and good luck!! Now I don't want to appear unrealistic, but what are the chances of everyone agreeing to give him until at least Xmas before demanding that he's sacked??? ;)

It wouldn't be Coventry City if it all went smoothly!! :facepalm:

I think it would be safe to say that views are well understood by those who read this forum - however, I do think that on occassions you can overstate your case. When Thorn took over we were in freefall. From 4th in December we were heading rapidly down the table and I was expecting...

One of the joys of life is how we all see things differently - I thought that the football under AB was kick and rush at its worst. Having said that, I think we'd all settle for a few wins from the new manager irrespective of how they come about!!

He has faith, I have hope (just) and last night our defence had charity........

Are you suggesting that that was the general view? If you are, I disagree. Have you ever considered that it's even possible that one or two such statements may have been posted as wind ups?

I don't think that we have another Eric Black situation here. I think that that were many who thought that Thorn was doing a difficult job in what were pretty awaful circumstances and felt that some balance had to be set against some of the more vitriolic posters. I wouldn't have been...
