The lack of anti Thorn chants at matches
This is getting quite boring really. The fans love him and mostly think he is the best thing that has happened to us since the previous relegation. Sisu will fight to keep hold of him against the suitors from elsewhere.
This is has got be to be a wind up!
What suitors?!
The best thing which has happened since the previous relegation?! The best what exactly?!
Do you honestly believe Thorn is the best manager since relegation?? No wonder we are in serious trouble.

The lack of any current or ex players criticising Thorn

What is your point here? When were there anti Boothroyd, Dowie, Coleman, McAllister or even Peter Reid chants at the ground. Adams had one for one minute against Barnsley. There has rarely been a supporter uprising against any manager until Strachan's Championship year.
Pointless. What ex managers are ever criticised by former players? Can't remember one. Can recall Marcus Hall saying Thorn wasn't the man for the job. Thought he played a game or two once. Couple of old players from the 60's have also criticised the playing style away from home.
My point is people are suggesting that the majority want Thorn to go. When that is the case you hear chants and see it on the news and hear it on the radio. Look at Villa with Mcleish. We got relegated and were hardly out of the bottom three this season. Yet I have never heard a Thorn out chant. Please dont tell me that, that does not tell you anything
You have never heard of a player who leaves a club criticising the manager from the previous club if he was doing a bad job?
Don't you mean"who didn't leave since AT took over at the end of last season. We lost players up to Jan when Juke went. Selective memory again?No and who has left to make much of a comment anyway this season?
Reid never was going to be popular as he replaced a popular manager. That said the anti-Reid chants were fairly modest. McLeish is a poor example. Villa fans wanted him sacked before a ball was kicked. Adams was not popular by the end of his tenure but again little reaction. Only one was Strachan and then only at the very end. We failed to beat a 9 man Forest and then lost to Grimsby. That was because expectancy levels were much, much higher as they will be next season. The heat in the kitchen will truly be much higher next season.

Reid spent money and was shite. So we would have wanted him out if we were doing any good as we liked our previous manager?
John was signed for 250k. We got £1.1m up front for Davenport and all the rest were frees and loans.
Loads of players have left nobody has come out and said Coventry are in trouble because AT is tactically nieve.
It happens all the time when players leave clubs if they dont rate what the manager was doing they are hardly discreet
It's all a bit academic anyway. I'm clearly wrong about him so really it's a bit unfair to treat such a budding talent poorly by tying him to such an unambitious club. I would be surprised if West Brom don't come looking for him - I mean they could be 10 points better off - they could be in the Europa League next season. If not at the very least a Championship Club must see his talents and swoop for him? How can we hold him back?
I want to see what happens if Thorn is given backing, gets a very competent league one squad and then, as i suspect, fails to get us in the top 6. What then all you blinkered Thorn lovers? Will you still back him to the hilt and demand he stays through blind loyalty? He con's far outweigh his pro's and he is the worst manager we have had for half a century and yet the 'majority' of our fans seem to think he is bulletproof. I await the hypocrisy to kick in around christmas time.
with thorn we have memories of his mistakes this year but also the fact he hasnt been backed
if we look at the performances under thorn at the end of last season when we had westwood and king it really was so different,i remember when we drew 0-0 with reading after outplaying them that great times were ahead
because of that whilst i still think a boothroyd or dowie would have kept us up this year, i dont mind thorn getting a 2nd chance if he is allowed to assemble the team he wants
