Were more inept in giving him the job and keeping him in it well past the time he should have been gone. Maybe they're learning, Thorn didn't.

At least the "football man" Ranson won't be appointing the manager this time, so more chance of getting somebody decent.

How do you get those little avatars to show what you are? Like yours,it's apt, but would like a Lord Snooty one for myself.

Er, It's the Eton Boating Song, copied, and changed the words..

He wasn't a particularly good defender when fit, which wasn't often. Whilst never thought that Thorn was a particularly good manager, and,though belated, the right decision has been made to sack him, wouldn't use any "tweets" from McPake as a weapon to beat him around the head with.

Talking to yourself?

His clearing headers directly into the air probably hit a few.

So you agree that it isn't the players who take praise or blame for any of the game then? Makes your previous thread( unfortunately not Thorn), redundant then.

Thought it was obvious, Thorn the manager for the whole game, so credit for first half, debit for second. Not apportioning praise or blame to different people/ groups to make a stance appear better.

As I've said before, the only times we haven't opened the revolving door everybody gets so excited about on an underperforming manager, we've got relegated .

Earlier you started a thread stating the players were at fault for the second half. Is Thorn only responsible for good periods and the players for anything bad? Surely overall responsibility(good or bad) lies with the manager?

Vice-versa should surely apply.

Didn't take you long to get in the swing of things!

Indeed, they have a manager who can outperform his resources.

He's got his goal for the season out of the way early this year.

No you didn't, you made that judgement with less than a third of the season gone. Whilst I didn't agree with your reasoning that only player budgets can be used to judge a manager, you have consistently made the point that it makes all the difference. In which case we should have beaten Bury...

We're 59 League games into Thorns reign. We have a much better wage budget than Yeovil and Bury and therefore should have beaten them according to the only criteria you used to judge the manager last season.

Because it's now 2-2? Against.... Bury.

Have you got your own forum Sub?

Bit early to name two of the best teams too I'd have thought?
