You see I understand the need to cut our cloth accordingly. I could understand it if the policy was sell our top players and replace them with suitable younger cheaper players with potential. i.e. if you sold Gunnar and bought Deegan as I cheaper alternative with great potential. But to sell or...

Bang on cracking post

was trying to find the date Thorn Joined all I can find is 2008 (not sure if it was start or end of the season, I believe Dann and Fox were signed in January 2008. I did find this though when looking which backs the view that Thorn is doing well in that we are not detatched at the bottom "He's...

I refused to applaud a player who on two seperate ocassions has attacked women in unprovoked attacks. Those who say he did his time. In the latest one he did not accept gulitand has never appologied to the girl and wasted everyones time and money and put her through more stress with a bullshit...

They split his ring in D Wing, Marlon Marlon King

Well if he did base his scouting for Cranie just on the fact he was a England u21 player. Which I think it is highly unlikely but lets say he did then if we remove Cranie he still comes up trumps

Exactly and I think more people think Bell and Baker are not good signings than those who think they are, so even though I dont have this opinion it seems the majority does. Mcdonald and Heeman are grey grey areas. Then you have the good scoutings Westwood, Dann, Fox, Henderson, Nimeley...

I have given my view on this one aswell. He has very rarely has been able to play his strongest 11. Which should have included Juke. He brings in the best replacements he is allowed to bring in under the circumstances and the squad is filled with kids, usually a squad is supplemented with the...

Fair comment

As to whether he is a good scout I keep saying you judge that by the players he has recommended to the club. I listed off a whole host I players I think he recommended who are quality a lot of whome have now been moved on. I dont hold a great importance on where he found them as you do. I think...

Too black and white. The only way you will ever know that is if a another manager takes over who is on comparable wages to Thorn in the same set of circumstances and see if they get the team up to mid table with 2 signings, kids then a couple of loanees (half way through the season when it is...

We will have new Owners SISU are selling anything that has capital value for a reason they are either going to hand the club over or put it into administration. Unfortunately the poor new owner are going to inherit one hell of a mess. I just hope they have Cov's interests at heart

Sisu Fact of the matter is at that time our debts were very big and they were increasing all the time. It reached a point where SISU had to make a decision go for the above players and go for promotion. Do a West Brom when you get up dont spend big probably get relegated bank the money try...

Personally I dont see Ray Ranson as a liar, this is what he said "If I had been given the tools, I could have got Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson and Jack Cork for less than £2million," Ranson told the Coventry Telegraph."Andy Thorn had been to watch Carroll when he was on loan at Preston...

It doesnt it makes him a good scout and hopefully means as a manager he will only sign decent players.

That was a bit more of a rant at my frustration that we could have had them when we also had Westwood, Dann, Fox and Gunnar. The real problem is bad ownership of the club. They made a decision not to go for promotion and sort the costs that way like West Brom did. Instead they have decided to...

This is when I am going to be a hypocrite and hope we play ugly nasty football boot the ball and them out of the ground and get a drawer. If we play them toe for toe they will do us becuase of Beckford and Nugent

Yes and I agree with that, however he has not been able to play his strongest 11 scouted mostly by him that often and the team and squad has been backfilled with kids. Who apart from Christie have good potential but are not quite at that exceptional level where they can come in and play an...
