I dont hate thorn fair play to him for putting his hand up saying give me a go but facts are facts he isnt the most intelligent of people and good managers are very intelligent and as for signing players forget it look at the players we have signed on his recommendation in the past mostly been not good enough.also for me when you call your players by nicknames i.e codes,deegs,sheffs,murph,belly,etc that dosnt command respect from your players surley
wud you be scared of a bollukin off this man ??i wudnt.he has no excuses hes bought his own players in now proof will be in the eating i guess(thorny does alot of that).please andy prove me wrong we all want you to do well but wake up and make some good tactical decisions on the pitch i.e subs. pusb
I agree to an extent, however I am no Thorn fan at all. Yet at matches last year most fans seemed to back him all the way...or at least stayed quiet about it. It seems to be only on message boards that there is bickering about him. Having said that, if we are not doing 'well' by Dec I think that may change. Especially with some new players in.Well he's here and he's staying so this can go one of 2 ways..
City fans draw a line in the sand, get behind the team and the manager and help the team push for promotion.
City fans bicker and argue over Thorn and don't get behind him or the team.
We've had a rough patch, lessons at least appear to have been learnt... but this is new season and can be clean slate for everyone... SISU, Thorn, Cody, Bell, Baker
Exactly what i mean people on here showing their true colours now !!!The LCFC fans I know are delighted we have him in charge.

I see the blame game is still going on.
Can anyone remember when we owned our own ground? They were the days before we had to pay 1.2m rent and got all the money raised inside the ground. Also before we put a lot of money into the Ricoh and then ended up not owning it.
If you have a shorter memory you can blame other things though.
I'm pretty sure SISU were aware of the ground situation when they bought us/got us for free. And they actually claimed that they intended to buy the ground! You can blame Ranson if you like for selling them his flawed vision, but just because they swallowed it, doesn't excuse them for suddenly being poor ickle innocents.
I remember you used to be one of SISU's staunchest defenders. Then last season, one of their greatest critics. Why the flip-back, Astute? A few free transfer signings does not re-write historical errors, you know..forgive by all means if you must, but don't justify previous cock-ups that you once were as angry with as I am.
Indeed if so, according to your logic Godiva, the £1 Hoffman offer was a great deal for SISU!
OMG i don't believe it another thorn haters post. Yawn yawn yawn yawn.
I really am starting to believe we have more incestor WUMS on here than true CCFC supporters ?
Ah, but your book and my book are as different as The Satanic Verses and The Koran, Godiva! Agreement between us two is as likely as me voting Tory, never gonna happen.
Global Crash? Tough titties. If you play with fire and get burnt..
Get a grip. The argument about cashless payments was more emotive and polarised than this one.
Thing is the club was out of money to pay the bills. So something had to be done - among that cashing in on Juke. I have a feeling that many believe sisu as a hedge fund grows money trees in their backyard and always have fresh cash supply ready if needed. Not many realise how difficult it is to raise capital to failing businesses like our club. So with nowhere to turn and an empty coffers it was either the deep cut or the fast track to liquidation.
Oh and don't blame relegation entirely on not being able to raise the wage costs by drafting in freebies or selling Juke to raise capital ... blame it on ALL the turmoil at the club, including the destructive sisu-out-campaign.
Just my oppinion (to quote OSB).

As wonderfully to the point as ever. And way to burn me, lordsummerisle, my lack of paragraphs on a single post. With cutting satire like that, I might just return to work (where I am obliged to write in paragraphs because it is a job and not a football forum).
No, employing paragraphs may be part of a job which involves the written word. As would punctuation - such as commas - and capital letters, but I won't be picking people up on that because it is a childish thing to say on a football forum.
If it was difficult for everyone else, I will edit it. If it is just you who has struggled, I will let you take it on a couple more times and see if you can talk about any of the points raised, rather than bringing up grammatical issues on a football forum.

3) Harry Redknapp claims he can't read or use a computer.
When did he claim that? I thought he just said he couldn't spell or use a computer.
Hang on.
1) we have no idea how 'intelligent' is,
2) being medi savvy and articulate is different to being 'intelligent'
3) Harry Redknapp claims he can't read or use a computer. My 5 year old can do both of those things. Does that make Redknapp less intelligent than my 5 year old? If so perhaps my 5 year old should be consider for the next PL managerial vacancy.
Ok, I stand corrected on the contract length, but that doesn't change the fact that the club was out of money and bills had to be paid.
Betting on avoiding relegation with Juke in the team could mean no money to pay the players wages. And it that scenario the prospect of losing £4m in turnover next season doesn't come into consideration. Neither does the players potential future value.
I reckon Godiva knows exactly what the finances show :thinking about:
Brody and Franchise Players, oh yes, that was a classic! What did he say again? "Grow our own"? Yeah, then sell 'em cheap.
