Same here.
id switch your top 2 but other then that seems about right. robins had championship team in league 1 eric black got a useless bunch and made them into a force hell he even managed to get richard shaw to score
how is thorn a better manager than pressley?

It's a trick question, cos Thorn was never a manager.
Gives a cheery wave and blames every fucker but himself.
It didn't take long for him to get found out after taking over at kidiminster. it's a shame we didnt get in Robins earlier, im sure he would have kept us up.
Totally agree. We were good enough to stay up that season and we would have had a fighting chance if we had, had a proper manager at the helm.
Unfortunately Andy Thorn turned out to be Mike Bassett.
hahaha he likened his job here to "swimming the channel with an oven on his back"....he probably borrowed it off one of his followers on this forum.
Yeah he's too thick to come up with that himself.
If we never had that twat at the club we'd be in a better place now.

Couldn't agree more. It was made even worse by the majority who actually thought he was good and was fighting a battle against sisu. I still don't understand why they didn't applaud sisu for hiring one of the best up and coming managers in the country hahaha.
Yeah right. If sisu hadn't taken us down with Thorn it would have been with someone else. We'd still be exactly where we are now. It probably just happened quicker with Thorn that's all.
It's also interesting most fans are turning on Pressley far more than thorn yet thorn had far better support from the club.
He even spent £500,000 on one player - Cody the championship goal machine
Also only cash in league one - Adam Barton the midfield general.
Always spots a player does Andy.
I think if fisher and waggot had come in instead of Ken it may have at least meant survival. Then again even they let thorn stay on when relegated so who knows.
hahahaha!! His PR website is always a good laugh as well. If by a miracle Thorn had done what SP did last season some fans would be wanting him to be offeres a contract dor life.
Changing this thread Otis and showing my age but you have to go back to the sixties to the best manager in Jimmy Hill,followed by Cantwell for getting us into Europe,then Milne/Mercer in my opinion,then Curtis/Sillett for the Cup Final.Since 87 it's been mediocre to say the least !List them in order of personal preference (or of least rubbishness).
Mcallister, Black, Reid, Adams, Dowie, Boothroyd, Coleman, Thorn, Robins, Pressley.
1. Robins
2. Black
3. Adams
4. Dowie
5. Pressley
6. Boothroyd
7. Coleman
8. Reid
9. McAllister
10.Thorn
lmao cj if adams comes back i think you might be the only one left in the ricoh
Dowie was the first time sisu screwed us i have no doubt had he stayed we would have beat west brom beat portsmouth and knowing us lost to cardiff at wembley in the fa cup final
Remind me what the score was against the Baggies at the Ricoh earlier that season when we did have Iain and Tim in charge.

Snap!
But it was 4 nil.
OMG .....%-1must have been in the league.

Didn't we also beat them 4-2 though at the Hawthorns under Dowie as well though?
That season:
City 0-4 Tesco Bags - Miffy sent off
TB 2-4 City - Miffy scored two in his first game back after the suspension and Paul Robinson was sent off
City 0-5 TB - Micky Doyle sent off
The thing I always felt with Dowie was he could get the players motivated for the 1 off big games.
I still think with him in charge we would have gone into that Charlton game without being safe, but I seriously doubt we would have lost 4-1 in that game with him in charge.

I agree. I remember losing 4-0 at near bottom of the table Blackpool and him saying the players put in a fully committed performance and he couldn't ask for more! Says it all about the guy.
