No need to worry - everyone is working hard to get the embargo lifted!!

No use using logic MMM. A number of our distinguished posters have decreed that he is the worst manager of all time in the entire universe and some of them have watched City for 25 years (bloody youngsters) so how can they be argued with ?

You are Joy and I claim my £5!!

When Ken left!

How dare you suggest they have a plan. They could sue for that sort of libel!

If there was to be a bid (who knows with paper talk), I guess it's much more likely to be based on his appearances for the youth team.

So just to be clear - you're advocating that when interviewed (which we both agree he has little choice in agreeing to), he should "spout some bollocks" and that this will make things better!! Personally I think that most of these "page filler" interviews are already full of "bollocks" and I...

Bit confused...... You said "wish he'd say nothing" I said " don't think he can really say nothing" You said " of course he could, he could say .........." Did they change the meaning of nothing when I wasn't looking?

However manager Andy Thorn pointed out the first team experience being gained by his 14 and 15 year old players would stand them in good stead for the future........

I don't think managers really have the option of saying nothing. I doubt he rang up the paper last night and demanded to have his insightful comments published - I'm guessing that they contacted him. Lots of media outlets with lots of space to fill leads to lots of inane comments!!

Not sure how else you can read it. The new price lasts until 30/6. It has been put in place to allow people to make a decision on whether to buy their ticket after the embargo has been lifted. If the embargo is not lifted by 30/6 (actually, sufficiently earlier than this to allow incoming...

I can see where you're coming from. However post match comments - do you remember CC - "we bossed the second half (having been played off the pitch at Derby), MA - "if people criticise Micky Adams then Micky Adams will walk" (I'm paraphrasing here), ID - "the boys put in a shift today". I...

"He's working under the easiest conditions a football manager ever has". Good to see someone taking a balanced view :)

I try to brush them off when I can....... More seriously, I think everyone is aware of AT's limitations, but are also aware that he is working under (if you'll allow a degree of understatement) "difficult conditions" and so are prepared to take a more balanced view.

I presume that there is at least a degree of irony in the posts that criticise AT, generally in long threads that are very critical of AT, but then finish with comments like - "However, no blame or criticism can be attached to AT......" :):)

Please don't feel any need to rush back :):)

This post comes as a shock. I'd always thought that you were a big fan of Thorn's.

All good points. In addition I'm really fed up with those posters who continually claim that Thorn invented penicillin, set out the theory of relativity and was the first man on the moon. Can't these people make postings that are even vaguely sensible?????????

The implication here is that a good manager will be "poached". You've also stated (frequently) that Thorn is "the worst manager in our history". It is therefore logical that all his predecessors were better than him. So from that abundance of riches, how many of our managers in say the...

Nothing like a close season to polarise opinion :D OK then - "worst manager in our history"...... I'm pretty shaky on managers from 1883 to 1961, but look forward to your reasoned debate on their pros and cons. As for more recent years, off the top of my head I'd look at: Peter Reid -...
