If we had new owners and money to spend in pre-season before our L1 campaign, would you keep Thorn and give him a chance to take us back up?
or
will it be time to get a proven manager with tactical knowledge and experience to take us up first time?
My initial thought is to get a new campaign away we need a clean slate and that includes Thorn going and just keeping the academy kids.
The rot is too deep now with the current players.
Ownership is irrelevant. Thorn is out of his depth. Always was and always will be. a good scout but no leader of men.
I'd keep Thorn, but if we are still owned by SISU, I hope he either resigns or is fired so that all the twat fans can't keep blaming him for doing the job with both hands tied behind his back. At least then, when we struggle even more, they might open their eyes and realise what a difficult job he's had.
I usually refrain from calling for AT to be sacked / walk, however ive had enough of justifying why he should stay and using the excuses like 'hes not had the backing' or 'his hands are tied'. Its clear to most supporters he IS NOT a manager. He is tactically inept, and the board / owners cannot be blamed for this.
My message to Andy, for what its worth (admittidly probably very little) is you should walk now, while you still have your pride. Failure to do this, the board need to grow a pair, dismiss him, or offer him his old scouting job back atleast, and put Carsley in charge until the end of the season. Then if SISU are still here, and the take over still hasnt happened, appoint a proper manager, like we should of at the start of this season. If a takeover happens, well, they will undoubtably want their own man (and I hope they do too).
Keep Thorn I would rather go watch Villa than watch the dross he puts out week after week, will be glad when he goes as his after match interviews have not changed all season. Please don't think its all down to Sisu, they don't pick the team or tactics it lays squarely at him. I will say Sisu have not helped, but Thorn has had more than enough time.
Well how much was the sale of Lukas down to the owners? How much has been re-invested? How much was the departures of King, Turner, Westwood and Aron down to the owners-and how much of their wages has been re-invested in replacements? Ownership irrelevant? Don't be so pigheaded!
How much is the sale of a player often down to the player? - more often than I would care to imagine. Easy to blame the owners when players want to go or will not sign off new contracts.
I stand by my original statement - Thorn is not good enough - end of. That statement has nothing to do with ownership.
Suggest you read my posts rather than twisting what post to suit your own warped agenda all the time.
