    Why is there an air of smug satisfaction on this forum tonight ?

    We can only hope. Personally though, I really think our fortunes will change for the better. I do think a half-decent manager will be able to get this team into the top 6.

    Surely Thorn is destined to go down in history as the worst City manager ever

    Sad to see him go, but that is merely because he was in above his head and probably just took on the role at first to help the club out. I am also sad for him because he seems a decent bloke and for what it's worth I liked him a lot more than I did Reid and Coleman. He wasn't up to the job...

    Why is there an air of smug satisfaction on this forum tonight ?

    Please tell me where this fantasy air of smug satisfaction is and why we are a laughing stock? Cos I can't see it and it seems clearly apparent that things have been going on behind the scenes at the club with Thorn. Not going to go into all the rumours but it sounds like something wasn't...

    If you were the board...

    If they have the money. I am guessing not and guessing it will be Shaw and Carsley and they will be given half a dozen games. Things don't improve then they will bring someone in. Do well and they could be given until the end of the season. May be wrong of course and they have someone already...

    Surely Thorn is destined to go down in history as the worst City manager ever

    I know no such thing. i created the thread simply because the record seems set to stand probably for eternity and I would have much rather it had been Coleman's or Reid's or Neal's rather than AT, who was simply over his head through no fault of his own As I had said umpteen times I find it...

    Surely Thorn is destined to go down in history as the worst City manager ever

    Not shit stirring at all. Why do you say that? I have said several times that I find the whole thing saddening. I was not shit stirring just wondering if we will ever see such low stats again ever.

    Surely Thorn is destined to go down in history as the worst City manager ever

    Depends if people deem the 'worst Manager' to be the man to have the lowest win percentage. I don't. Stats will say that though. That's what history books will say and that's what football experts will look at. Any manager that has been linked with us and the...

    Thorn's replacement and the way forward...

    Looks pretty strong to me if they can stay fit. Surely Jennings, Barton, Fleck, Wood and McDonald are as good as players as any other club has got?

    Surely Thorn is destined to go down in history as the worst City manager ever

    I'm not trying to have a go, I'm actually pointing out that it's very sad and that I can't see anyone ever doing any worse statistically. Not trying to score points just saying it's a shame and that his record will never ever be beaten.

    Surely Thorn is destined to go down in history as the worst City manager ever

    That's what I am saying. A bloke can be guilty of a crime but be found innocent and that is a statistical fact. Statistically AT will never be bettered (or worsened) as the worst ever City manager. When people look back through history that is all they seem to remember. When you look at who won...

    Surely Thorn is destined to go down in history as the worst City manager ever

    Me too, but surely no City manager in the future will ever be allowed to achieve a win percentage so low again.

    Surely Thorn is destined to go down in history as the worst City manager ever

    and that, that stat is going to remain in place forever. Sad but true I feel. 60 games 13 wins 20 draws 27 loses Win percentage 21.67%

    Thorn's replacement and the way forward...

    Good post, Paxman. The more I think about it the more I believe it to be the right decision. Only 3 games in but it seemed clear that nothing had been learned from last season and we were still throwing leads away. I predicted a 14th place finish. That was with AT in charge and that was because...

    The way we played on Saturday in the first half will do us just fine.
