After listening to Andy Thorn's post match interview with CWR it became very obvious he is at the end of his tether with affairs at the club with statements like we need more bodies brought in, fed up of the same mistakes week in week out and has kept his head down and got on with it, so now Andy give your real views no holds barred and give it with both barrels. The fans will back you to the hilt. It maybe some want a change of manager for various reasons but they would support and appreciate someone telling how it is. Might get him fired but that's going to happen anyway i think, so let 'em have it.

Then why doesn't he try a different formation and play the players HE signed for the club (Dunn, McDonald). He's too stubborn to change the formation, or is he just clueless?

He can hide behind the SISU issue, but he can't hide the fact he's just not good enough.

Its time now to come out and say what he thinks about the current affairs at the club.
With him obviously taking a dislike to sisu and the way they run the club, he needs to come out and tell us that.
I don't think they will sack him cause they haven't got the funds too.
Also the fans would give him so much respect.

Thorn has as much backbone as a jellyfish. He is at least bright enough to know the SISU dollar is his best bet of keeping warm this winter, Dellieu probably writes his after match interviews now. Seriously if this bloke had any integrity he would be long gone by now.

Well you lot don't know the truth, stop making it up, tossers!

I know nothing, but the '8K a week' quote I suspect is pure invention, if you have some evidence let us see it, BANTAM I challenge you, come on, I challenge you!

As I see it he is between a rock & a hard place, can't change things because he has no authority to do so, best he can do is plan tactics using players he has available & advise KD about players he could use.

It is a shambles, but it is because of cost cutting & the fluid situation not so much that AT is a dork, if he is he will be found out next season in L1.

Idiotic. He also bought Murphy - so how can you have a pop for not playing Dunn. He can only play 1! SISU is not an 'excuse', it is the driving force behind us going down. Mourinho couldn't keep this bunch of kids up.

He wants to manage this football club. Slagging off SISU would get him the immediate sack. Think it through.

The accounts only show directors renumeration, they do not itemise employee salaries, they will show overall salary outgoings, the salary any particular individual is on is not indicated.
The last accounts were published in May 2010, about the same time AT was appointed manager, he won't show on them.

You have no concrete evidence have you, I repeat you are making it up! If you have evidence then show it bud, or stop bullshitting everyone!

Murphy is a bit like Ben Turner's younger years to me. Capable of great saves then a blunder. Anyway back on topic, Thorn is a man with a family like the rest of us. Spout off = the sack = no scouting job to fall back on.

Therefore his only option is the subtle digs and hints he has been saying.

Whilst I don't think much of his management ability, to start accusing the man of being spineless or smearing him as a person is not on. He had some balls to take this job on tbf
