Watching Football league show & they had Coventry losing again.
Then interview with Andy Thorn, he looks like a 70 year old union rep.
He looks terrible!!
I think he should give up managing Cov coz at this rate he will look like yoda in a couple of years

they have been in the championship longer than anyone else 11 seasons, without finishing in the top six, think they will be in glorious league 1 next season

thats glib after our result up there....!! suppose we can hope for a 7-0 goal diff boost when they visit.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I remember him playing for Wimbledon as part of the crazy gang, Despite Palace connections, a decent bloke trodden down by day to day traumas of being a football manager. Is about 44, looks about 60

Too late. We beat them 2-1 on 26th November 2011

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Agree, for a bloke in his early 40s he looks like an ageing and bloated alcoholic toad with high blood pressure.

good point ,well made.......

Watching him & Brian McDermott on the touchline today it reminded me of darts in the 1980's.

 

[Smythe]

He looks and sounds like a bloke i'd expect to see propping up the bar of his local every night rather than managing a football team.....actually maybe he is judging by the way his team are doing .........is he really only in his early 40's??

I had the pleasure of meeting him when we played them at the Amex. Lovely guy.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Can't believe he's still in a job.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Can't believe he's still in a job.

Exactly. Anywhere other than crisis club Coventry, with the firesale of players, shite owners, zero funds and crippling injury list, and he'd have been toast months ago.

It takes a certain sort of person to keep getting up in the morning in those circumstances, because their situation really is bleak and it isn't going to get any better in the foreseeable. They need Steve Gritt.

 

[honey boy zimba]

Him and Steve Evens would look like a couple of coach drivers

 

[seagull_special]

I really quite like him, he reminds me of Russell Slade personality wise. He has an impossible job and the only reason he is still in a job is that SISU or whatever they are called are too tight to pay him off. I haven't heard him blame the circumstances the club are in and you can see that every defeat hurts him and I think he is a decent bloke.
