I guess he lasted longer as a manager than Richard Shaw did here.

I don't think anybody wants to see anybody else go homeless by being out of a job, it just proves some peoples points who were saying it months before CCFC sacked him but as we had SISU to hate instead he was a hero because he was putting up with them. Sisu or not, he didn't have a clue which showed and has clearly showed at Kiddiminster.

To be fair they listened to their fans and acted quickly, it is just their fans could see the issues in front of them

They did listen to the fans when hiring Thorn. They also listened to most who thought he was a great manager.

We all know any managers destiny is to go from hero to zero (* unless they are named Shankly or Ferguson).

Care for another wager on Thorny's future employment prospects? I can extend the employment requirement from managing football teams to serving up chip butties, to make it fair.

My memory is letting me down (seriously). Did they ask the fans? Did most fans think he was a great manager?

I do remember some comments about how the style of football was better after Aidy, and some about how they'd rather be entertained, and lose, than watch any more Aidy Hoofball... but it was a minority wasn't it?

I'm on my phone right now so can't post links but if you read articles at the time they all say he is the 'fans choice'.

I liked Andy, thought he was an alright bloke. Not a great manager admittedly but I wish him all the best.

He was the fans choice
We were playing some of the worst football ever witnessed under Boothroyd.

So he was like a ray of sunshine

Maybe that is why SISU stopped listening to fans at that point?

I think Andy was a very cheap option, so it was probably the only time they HAVE listened to the fans..

Never seemed like a listen to the fans type of business in the first place to be fair


The mysterious Mayfair fund, co-founded by traders Joy Seppala and Dermot Coleman, made pre-tax profits of £17m last year, primarily by buying up bad debt.

The fund often resorts to hard-ball courtroom tactics to get what it wants.

Sisu's glamorous Finnish-American chief executive, Ms Seppala, has been described as one of the stock market's boldest traders. Indeed, Sisu means "inner fortitude, strength and guts" in Finnish.

The fund blocked a £381.5m refinancing deal for troubled hotel chain Welcome Break in 2004, securing full pay-outs for creditors. But Ms Seppala was censured by a High Court judge in 2006 when Sisu's bid for a better deal from debt-ridden power company TXU Europe failed.

I dont think I would call him that! His post match interviews were rarely 'sunny' were they?!

It depends if putting "sy" onto the end of people's names made you hot. Shawsy, Carsleysy.

Was Thorn Dipsy then, or more Tinky Winky or La La?

He was strangely good at playing the victim and it was just another example of over the top sisu hatred that clouded people's judgement.

People ended up seeing something that was blatantly not there. Boothroyd clearly fell out with the players and they totally stopped performing. When he left the uplift was natural but even then pretty average.

The cheap option thing also is rubbish. Coleman certainly wasn't and at one time we had thorn boothroyd and Coleman still getting paid.

For some reason people saw him as anti sisu in the camp and backed him. He played the victim well. I suspect fans will soon turn on Pressley in a way they never did with thorn.

It was very different at Kidderminster. Fans expectations were higher and the predecessor popular. They saw through him very quickly.

Truly the most bizarre manager we have ever had and the most misjudged for the wrong reasons.

My critique was reasoned - your response that of a defeated man.

The debate is over.

Why would there be a link between liking AT and hating SISU

I have never seen AT in the I hate SISU camp.
No more than Boothroyd and Coleman. It's a strange one to try and link the two.
