Thorton is a F@%&#! sook with an oversized ego.
People here who think they are in the know have told all and sundry that he thinks of himself as a bit of a midfielder and wants an opportunity there and has been disgruntled with Dennis for not giving him a go.
Well F@%&#! him a good team player plays where he is required not where he wants to.
The fact is we havent gotten rid of Dennis so therefore anyone who is unwilling to play under him needs to Piss off. This may see us at the bottom of the ladder for years to come but I doubt it personally. The board has made their bed by keeping him on and will be judged for it, if not in the next few months definitely by the end of next season.
If the club really wants to make a point the they stick to their guns in respect to contracts and screws the Dorks for all they can get. Thornton has put himself on the open market so we should shop him around to all and sundry and take whats best for us. I'd love to be able to do a deal with the Scum but Sheedy is probably to shrewd, but hey woudnt it be nice to see Thornton as the player with the most spoons listed against him in the record books when he retires.
Thats interesting Mark.
Lets put the boot on the other foot.
You enjoy your job immensely. Suddenly management puts a person in charge who treats you like a child. Any creativity or encouragement you had to improvise and learn state of the art skills are removed.
Your boss has old time ideals and demands you follow suit.
He doesnt accept any new ideas or welcome outside experts to train you and broaden your horizons.
The company lurches from one disaster to another and your supervisor continually blames you and your workmates and refuses to take any responsibility.
After 3 years and another abysmal year, the company threatens to remove your supervisor but doesnt have the guts to do it.
You want to learn as much as you can but this person refuses to accept modern philosphies or techniques.
A competitor offers you superior money, conditions and more importantly, the opportunity to increase your knowledge. They offer a vibrant, young, modern thinking supervisor who values your opinions and doesnt ridicule you in public.
Where would you work?
Friendships and loyalty are fantastic but your employer also has a responsibility.
If you are sub standard in your treatment of people, you have no right to demand loyalty in return.
BV thats all great in the REAL WORLD but we are talking about professional athletes who earn amounts most of us dream of. For 300K per season Dennis could upset me all he wants.
I'll stand by my oringal comments- Thornton is a @#$%&! Sook. Grow up Bret most of us have to live in the real world and put up with shit from our bosses becuase at the end of the day we have responsibilites.
Also BV to get an insight into my worklife as KK what he thinks of my boss. I agree with him but I need the money so I manage to accept the bullshit and get on with things. For 300K Id work 24 hours a day rather than my normal 12 and be could be a bigger prick than he already is.
