You misunderstand, I wasn't using him as a comparison in playing career, just where they are/were as a manager. Lambert's success last season with loan players (and of course, in general) hopefully, could make it easier for Thorn to persuade Prem managers to loan some quality to us.

This has completely ruined my little quip!! I don't though, only had sky for the last 4 years

I think that was one of the first times I felt really depressed as a Cov fan. I remember us beating Chelsea but I think the start was generally pretty bad. That night I came back from football training to hear Dublin wasn't playing with rumours going round he'd refused to play and then on top of...

Hah, what?! No, I'm not. Sensitive soul aren't you. I'm pretty sure SBJ will be able to take that message (said merely in jest) so no reason for you to get involved really is there.

Nope, nowhere near the same pull, but Lambert wouldn't have had that last year until Premiership managers realised the sort of football he played. Hopefully Thorn can build his reputation like that.

Sky 1 or sky sports 1?!

Wouldn't be so sure. Remember, he was a Premiership footballer for a number of years, is getting a good reputation for playing nice football and bringing through youth.

Don't read it then. It's fairly simple.

I sense some sarcasm

Yeah, Sky 1...

That's weird for us isn't it, two games in a row on telly? As for the original question, just a guess but I would've thought you'd be fine to pay on the gate.

It makes you wonder how Stoke can afford a £12 million has been and spending about £20 million on deadline day alone. They've been sensible till now but that's the sort of business that got us in to trouble. The problem with the Premiership now is that if you have any ambition to try and stay...

Hah!! Good find that!!

6k!!! That makes sense then I suppose, but there's less than a month to it.

Your opinion, fair enough. But I'd like to think everybody involved with the club takes an interest with it at team level. It's more psychologically comforting to think your board members are taking an interest in the team. To me, anyway.

Who are you asking if it's local? Because if it's me then I can answer straight away... No, it is not local to me. In fact, if you live in Cov then you're closer than me. You may be right about a bigger stadium though. If that's the case then these are more doable: Forest, Leeds, West Ham...

That may be true, but we have no idea if he's bringing in anything good behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure his recent silence has coincided with something he said where he got a particularly large amount of verbal abuse, but I can't think what it is. Like I said, not sticking up for but there's...

I'm not sticking up for him but what bad has actually come from his appointment? Nobody apart from those behind the scenes could tell you what's going on and whether he's having an influence. As for the constant communication, people asked for it, he was doing it. People complained he was...
