2-2 draw away to Watford was first time I saw grass shoots that this club wouldn't have a pussy mentality foreverSad news, especially as he’s only 54. He gave us a very brief respite from the years of crap.
Yes, awful news. I liked the way he spoke when he came in, and thought he was building a decent team (Keogh, King etc). Would of been interesting to see had he not been sacked, if he would of kept us up the following season. Instead we got Andy ThornSad news, especially as he’s only 54.

Yeah in hindsight the shouldn’t have been sacked. Thorn was one of SISU’s worst decisions but they bowed to fan pressure.Yes, awful news.

And Thorn bowed to club pressure . ... he never wanted the job as manager.Yeah in hindsight the shouldn’t have been sacked. Thorn was one of SISU’s worst decisions but they bowed to fan pressure.
Based on what? He must have hated being forced to become a manager so much that he then went and got another job as a manager.And Thorn bowed to club pressure . ... he never wanted the job as manager.

Yeah it really supports yours that he was somehow forced against his wishes to become a manager.Based on what he said. I don't see how taking a managerial post at a much lower level two years later, really supports your stance?

Stop making it sound like I am making out Thorn was forced at gunpoint to be manager.
In that case, he could have just said no?And Thorn bowed to club pressure . ... he never wanted the job as manager.
It's not a suggested narrative; it's what actually happened.Let's go with your suggested narrative, Thorn jumped at the chance. Is that the fault of Thorn or the management of the club and recruitment?
Injuries to key players for his system was what did it for him, he built a side to play a certain way and (whether you liked it or not) it was working and getting consistent results here for the first time in a long time.Best wishes to him.
He should have been sacked at the time though, the football was so one dimensional and we'd won 1 in 16 league games at the point of his sacking.

The club began it's slide to the abyss that season in my opinion when Ray Ranson quit and was replaced with the 'super board' consisting of Orange Ken, Onye and the text-a-sub bloke, was all downhill from thereBest wishes to him.

Ranson wasn't much better.The club began it's slide to the abyss that season in my opinion when Ray Ranson quit and was replaced with the 'super board' consisting of Orange Ken, Onye and the text-a-sub bloke, was all downhill from there
Football wise it all came to a head for him when we lost Ben Turner for the season
