I agree with this
Not saying he shouldn't haven't been sacked but the whole way it has been done is amateurish, it was either sack him before pre season or give him at least 10 games this season. The time taken to find a new manager has been stupid as well. I could understand if Shaw was doing a satisfactory job it could have bought us a bit of time but to leave him in charge for 4 straight defeats is a joke
The thing is if Thorn was in charge and he had won 1/2 by now and were mid table you know there would be a group of people criticising him for not being top 6, probably the same people who are now saying we have a mid table squad

Chill out, no need for name calling.
And it's obvioulsly not a scientific fact, but I am convinced he would not have lost the last 4 games in a row.

Wish he had been given more time this season, then even the most deluded might have finally realised he was shite and wouldn't have to put up with this crap forever more.
He's going to be turned into an amalgamation of JFK, James Dean and Jim Morrison, a talent sadly cut off in his prime.
Unfortunately they had already achieved, and could have achieved more possibly.
Thorn had failed, and his team are continuing that now.

3 points from 3 is a lot better than 0 from 4 last time I checked...

This wasn't you earlier today then PVA?
"Last year I wanted Thorn sacked after we lost at Brighton I think it was, can't remember. And I remember saying on here I wanted Robins or O'Driscoll. So he's been in my top 2 for a year

Yes that was me.
I wanted him sacked at that point last season. He wasn't, he stayed on and started this season. He should have either been sacked in the summer, OR given at least 10 games this season. To sack him after 3 games is barmy, regardless of whether you rate Thorn or not.

Given thorns away record for the last 18 months I would safely say no difference would be made.
His legacy is now unfolded. Clueless unfit players with no cohesion. All his signings (including McDonald) all under suspicion.
I would have thought those who have supported him will be keeping quiete not pretending it's because he has gone we are where we are.
He should have never been given the job.

I don't think that's fair either! You have to take a chance - sometimes they work out...other times they don't. Look at Chelsea with Mourinho & AVB. Both successful pre-Chelsea. One delivered pretty well the other was a disaster.
With Thorn we took a chance & it didn't work out. Let's just hope the next (maybe more considered) chance pays off.

Either way, I doubt very much if he is revelling in our situation with a beer &/or chuckle. He might be having self-consoling thoughts along the lines of "See? I wasn't so bad after-all was I"?
