My only issue with thorn is his stubbornness to try something different ie. 4-4-2
Our players can't and have never been able to play the diamond.
SISU or not he can try and shake things up a bit, but refuses to
Many on here seem to be more angry at the manager than they are the owners!
I haven't seen anyone who fits this here, to be honest.
He is a fat useless cu*t..
I might just give in and lick Thorns hoop like everyone else, seems easier
We all saw this coming, so why are we now blaming the manager?
...The saddest thing about our current demise is that some of our supporters still seem incapable of seeing it.*Many on here seem to be more angry at the manager than they are the owners! It's baffling.
This rot began when SISU decided they were going to stop building our squad and instead strip it of any potential it had. Simply because they had bigger priorities than CCFC.
This being about the time that they sold Scott Dann and Danny Fox.
With the likes of Keiren Westwood, Leon Best, Ben Turner, Aron Gunnarsson, Danny Fox, Scott Dann and Jack Cork we had the making of a decent squad in this league. Not to mention the mooted possible signings of Jordan Henderson and Andy Carroll.
Since then we have lost all of those players added nothing of note and have sunk lower and lower as a consequence. Marlon King's spell at the club served more as a reminder to us of the difference a bit of quality and experience can make to a team.*
The latter being particularly relevant now.
You simply cannot brush aside lack of experience and lack of depth in a squad as 'excuses' for poor results.
Whether people like it or not, these are REASONS for failure not excuses.
AT may be a novice at this stage but no manager could achieve any level of success with our current crop. It is simply too weak a squad.
This summer we were a club that had just finished near the bottom end of the table but instead of trying to stop the rot we lost our best players without replacing them. Is it any wonder the bookies had us down as favourites for the drop?
We all saw this coming, so why are we now blaming the manager?
Just last week we were highlighted on talksport as an example of a terribly run club.
It seems that every f*cker in the country can see why we're struggling apart from our own fans!
Watching us lose to Peterborough yesterday while hearing that Scott Dann, Aron Gunnarsson and Ben Turner were on the score sheet elsewhere was very very depressing...[/QUOTE
..... and seeing Fox and Cork in a successful Southampton team makes you wonder -- if only we had kept them and Westwood !!!
So it is AT's fault that all our players except for one that could score goals left our club and then not replaced? :facepalm:
Save the facepalm for next to thorns stats! Nah seriously I ve given up. Keep him for ten years for all I care. At least we ll get the stability that everyone craves. I m not supporting an outfit that's accepted failure. When the club and fans decide to take things seriously again so will i
So it's not his fault that the players we have left have lost points from winning or even drawing positions? Or that they've failed to adapt to changes in the opposition? Or that there appears to be no plan B from the steadfast footballing philosophy that's yielded two wins?So it is AT's fault that all our players except for one that could score goals left our club and then not replaced? :facepalm:

Some people don't see the bigger picture - exactly what Ginetta is getting at. Some are just morons.
i agree with Benno, also how do we know that this is all we can give this season, that's why i want change i want to prepare for next season nice and early!!!
My thread was just an observation as to AT's stubbornness to utilise his existing squad to their varying abilities and skills and having the nous to make changes when needed. Poor team selection, poor tactics, playing players out of position have all contributed to our demise of just 2 wins all season.
In 1983 Bobby Gould took over CCFC when threequarters of his first team left and he had to recruit, in about four weeks flat, a brand new team purchased from the lower divisions to contest the best league in Europe.
By Dec 83 due to his MAN MANAGEMENT SKILLS of less "capable" players he achieved 4th in the league, which is the very point I am making - it can be done.
AT please utilise what you have got its been done before - its nothing new - its called management !!!
PUSB
But even this decision is down to SISU......you cannot have it both ways.
The original poster is correct. Everything is down to the owners......whoever they are?
The ONLY way we can start with a clean slate is to start again with new people at the top......which is why it is important to unite behind the protest. No scabs allowed, thank you.:wave:
I m sure as hell not going to protest against the worse owners we ever had while backing the worse manager
Was that before the usual second half of the season slump that saw us finish one place outside of the relegation zone?
