would it matter if he had? Everytime we have a bad result and people question the manager the reply usually is "he has an impossible job, he can't affect anything due to lack of funds". so really its doesn't make any odds who is the manager or if we have one at all

We haven't had decent crowds in all the 30 years I have been watching them. In the 80's we sold out once a season against Liverpool and that was only because we sold half the tickets to Scousers. We did have 35K against West Ham in 81 mind

£1000 a week wages aren't even uncommon in League 2

I still would though

fair enough, agreed. My criticism is far from heavy at this stage

to be fair criticism is not necessarily "slagging someone off" well not for me anyway. baseless comments like "Thorn is shit" "Or Thorn knows nothing" are different of course

I don't want a new manager just that the current manager not be immune from criticism just because of SISU

Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me nah I'm a complete pussy really

it isn't a sack him or back him debate ( i don't think) well not for me anyway otherwise i've wasted yet more of my life:D

so why are we all bothering then really.

nail on the head mate, he is in a lucky position in that respect

who would be a less untried manager than AT? I reckon they are lining up either Eakin, Linnel or Sky Blue Sam

you see the longer this conversation goes on the more I have 2 ideas in my head. 1/ If he can have no effect on our success or otherwise because his hands are so tied (as hinted on here) then walk away. Whats the point? I couldn't do a job if there was really no point in me being there. 2/...

I would have thought he had been around long enough in the club to take that with a pinch of salt but fair point

Thats kind of down to him as manager Jimmy. What everyone fails to comment on is that AT took the job, knowing the situation and the tossers he would be working for. He must have felt he could bring something to the party, reluctant to make him too much of a martyr

We reached the dizzy heights of 4th last December, with more or less the same team. I just hope that a defeatist mentality that seems to be abound within the support hasn't filtered down to the team/manager. i.e "Thorn has no chance as there is no investment." If we are going to take the...

I've got nothing against AT at all, and he is probably the best guy for this situation, but you can't call someone who is in the bottom 3 a miracle worker. Its hyperbole I've got a problem with not AT!

you see I can't class them as miracle workers. Sympathy for them and respect what they are doing but they would be "miracle workers" if we were in the top half of the table.

Hope he's got a few bob lined up. He's going to need Money to pay off SISU Money to buy at least part of the ground Money to buy a play off challenging team Money to allow us to field a reserve team Offers around?

or a jukebox penalty
