    Is Andy Thorn the right man?????????????

    Not to take anything away from it, but I think anything was refreshing after the Boothroyd tenure wasn't it.

    Andy Turner...what does he know????

    Isn't the 35 mill to spend on the club once control was though rather than as forming some part of the bid amount. The 35 mill would be to put in the club, but they would buy the club for a quid as it's worth nowt!

    Not just subs though is it. I notice people don't seem to respond to any post re the Blackpool tactics. That was a total disgrace. Thorn obviously did not do his homework as he was completely unaware of a tactic that Blackpool had consistently used for game upon game upon game. That was a...

    Understand all of that Brinner as I am sure we all do. But on top of everything, on top of all that we have a manager making mistakes too.

    A most excellent post. Thorn did very well last year. That is now very much looking like it was a honeymoon period and we caught teams unaware. Teams are now very much aware of the way we play and they now have us sussed out. It's clearly not working. Our only hope now is that Gardner can be...

    I don't expect the same results. Don't think anyone expects the same results. Has anyone said that at all? I have never ever said I expected the same results. For the eleveny billioneth time.... 1. I expected a relegation battle 2. I said from day one the squad was too small. 3. I said we...

    Andy Thorn talks utter bollox

    I really don't think fans will be chanting 'Thorn out.' I am pretty certain they won't. The worse Thorn does as a manager and the worse the team plays, the bigger the chants of 'Sisu out' will become.

    "I was enjoying last season under Thorn more than any in my life of watching CCFC. It was fantastic, brilliant, exciting, and a full season like that would be a play off challenge at least. You know what happened next. This is why I defend Thorn. " This is the bit I don't get. So Thorn's...

    Good post. I don't want to see him sacked either. Case of needs must though I feel.

    Thing is he has all the right attributes. Really struggle to think of any game he has totally controlled though. Never seems to have a complete game for us.

    Had no idea the tea lady chose formations and had control over substitutions and analysed opposition tactics. Surprised she has time to make tea.

    Did they have that headline? Didn't know. Yes then, they can have their headline back.

    Where's the fickleness? People did say he was the main cog in the team. That is perfectly true. This season however he has been poor and he has had 17 and 18 year old's overtake him in the midfield performance stakes. He is poor at the moment and I would drop him. Also think you miss the point...

    Even if he has access to cheap hookers and map locations for endless pots of gold?

    I've always wanted him here, even if it is just in order for him to lay down SOD's law.

    Think we either need to sack Thorn or bring someone in alongside him to help him out.

    But I would say winning scoring 3 goals (once), 4 goals (3 times), 5 goals (once) and 6 goals (once) points to more than just a honeymoon period. Fact was City fans were saying our players were not good enough and we had a very poor team. We were a team of no-hopers. Do you think any other...

    Very good point. Sisu do need to cut costs. Everyone accepts that. We also knew we faced relegation. Therefore everything is an inevitability and Sisu would be quite rightly gearing us for League One as our team isn't good enough. Shouldn't we therefore all be quite content? Thorn is a good...

    Poyet did his homework.

    Well this is basic football. Can't believe this to be honest at all. Quite stunning. Seen Clingan play this sort of ball before, but always thought he was looking but hadn't spotted an opposition forward. If he's simply just passing without even looking for any danger then I cannot believe...

    Poyet did his homework.

    That is shocking that they knew Clingan passes the ball across the back four without looking. If they know it then we as a club should know it too and do something about it. We as fans of course have seen it happen before.
