Lets look at facts, SISU are skint, no money. Sacking Thorn will cost them a years wages atleast my guess is about £200k. So why sack him and then appoint Shaw or Carsley ? Could have moved AT to the side and just carried on paying him weekly, even stop his rolling contract and let it run down. What if any new owners wanted Thorn out as he is a SISU employee, a SISU appointment so SISU's responsibility. Could SISU be on their way at last, something has to give sooner or later. Refusing to pay rent and refusing to do a halve the rent deal doesn't appear to me to be owners with long term plans.
