Concentrate on the here and now , and short term and picking up the pieces to get this season back where we want it . That’s his focus as of now , and on his track record he’s the guy to pull it together . If he gets us out this league it’s a great incentive to go on for him , or an enviable job fur someone else . Either way it’s a good situation . We need out this season and right now that’s everything Well said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he reads this he’ll probably be wishing he hadn’t bothered with the league side of it. Give the lad and the club a chance, who knows the ins and outs of the deal or whether he’ll have an option for next season. I’m looking forward to seeing if he can improve the squad and the way we play, if he goes well and we are successful I can’t see him turning down an opportunity to coach in the championship, but on the flip side he may not want to remain in league 1. He is a top coach who needs to get back in the game, let’s see where we go with it and how we progress before passing judgement on the club or him. And again . .

townie88 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 What's happening with squad announcements this year? I thought squads had to be declared by Friday evening? Not the 1st time this season it's a few hours before a game and nobody is any the wiser to what 19 man squad we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows that while the coaches role is partime in name ,the hours put in training,game days,post game reviews,media etc is far more than part time .For the BOD to be aware of this and even think to appoint him and not even advertise the post is ridiculous. Come the business end of the season where will his focus be ,on his current role with a month or two left ,or the preseason for his two year role ,it really is quite staggering .On the plus side the lad from Leigh looks quality and should go a good job for us spelling penky off,unless rumours of penky going to be assistant at Rochdale are true . Why don't you ask him where is priorities will lie at the end of the search? Instead of spouting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt he is a great bloke and could be just what we need but my post was not about him being half arsed but an opinion on the deal that is being quoted as to the terms of his signing only to the end of the season and his involvement with YMCA RU at the same time.

The first press release said it was until the end of the season. It's a part time job. This what happens in the real world outside this forum. He's spoken very well the week and he got 14 players to do what Leon couldn't. All good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town utd Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Just my opinion,agree with thorman being a good caliber of coach,but if it's short term,might as well left Wilkes in charge and look for a coach who's going to be here long term and build town for the future.

But this way we get Thormans coaching knowledge and Ollie will probably hang up the boots at the end of this season so itll ease him into maybe taking the job fulltime next year.

havenhater Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Who said thorman won't be here next season? One game and a win against the odds. He might well be able to juggle both jobs in the future. Let's not have any more could of should of, we have an experienced coach with all the contacts and knowledge to get us up through the playoffs imo.

ivans82 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Chris Thorman has probably only signed a contract to the end of the season to see if he can manage the constant travelling from Huddersfield and back several times a week , no one knows whether it`s bearable until they have tried it ,i think it`s as simple as that .
