Actual quotes:
"The kids will have to grow up quickly"
No pressure on the kids then. :facepalm:
This really worries me. Not only possibly putting the kids in before they are even ready, but expecting them to step up to the plate and help save us too.
In the CT this morning he has said “Off the pitch what will be will be – if we get new players we do, if we don’t then I’ll go with what I’ve got.”
Edit:
Question: Is this your toughest job to date?
AT: "I've had it tough all my career, when I was written off as a player at Wimbledon. This is my only job so far, so it must be my toughest"
Well i do not care how he speaks or what cliches he uses.
Now that was very annoying.
It is starting to grate a little and we haven't even begun to start losing matches yet. Can't wait to see what he's got to say when that happens.
"We need to re-group and go again. Dust ourselves down and pick our chins up. We will take each game one at a time and hopefully our luck will change soon."
Doesn't really bode well for if/when he needs to inspire the troops though, does it?
Very constructive. I too would much rather Thorn lose his rag about no in-comings and rant and rave about that instead. May aswell hey, it's not like he's got much else to talk about is it? We're already fed up about hearing how great the prospects are that are coming through the academy. We're always on about home-grown players etc but as soon as any come through we're bored after 5 minutes of them! What else do you want the guy to say???? We have no money. He knew what he was working with when he signed on the dotted line so he's hardly going to do a Joey Barton now is he??? If anybody is capable of getting the best out of the current crop and has shown that in a very short period of last season it is Thorn. Accept the facts, we'll be lucky to have any in-comings in so the only journal activity will be motivational comments directed at our team. If you want to listen to a manager getting you all excited about new signings and challenging the board for more money I'm sorry to say you've well and truly wasted your time supporting this club and suggest one just up the M69.
In Thorn We Trust
He hardly needs to be a great orator to motivate the players, so far he has United the dressing room, won the players respect and he is more than capable of giving them a rocket when needed.
maybe even hear hear
So players publicly stating that his style of football was far more enjoyable to play has nothing to do with it?Apparently the players hated Hoothroyd so it wasn't going to take any great shakes to pick the players up after he left.

Geez we haven't even played a game yet and we're already talking the bloke down...
Did you even read the rest of that post? I said don't judge him yet - good or bad.I know you did, but then it appears you practically contradict yourself. Apologies if I've misread your comment.
Not necessarily managers like Hughton, Ferguson, Redknapp and Holloway for the past 2 years are know for getting the best out of players but are not known for hoofball.Did you even read the rest of that post? I said don't judge him yet - good or bad.
And style of football has nothing, nothing to do with motivating players. In fact managers who are known to get the best out of their players usually play hoofball - Pulis, Allardyce etc.
