Sky Blues boss remains committed to club

Coventry manager Andy Thorn has angrily dismissed suggestions that he is considering his position at the Ricoh Arena Speculation was circling on Wednesday night that Thorn, who has held the reins since first being put in temporary charge in mid-March, was weighing up his future with the Sky Blues. However, the 44-year-old insists he remains fully committed to the club despite a disappointing start to the season which has seen the Sky Blues win only one of their opening 10 Championship matches, leaving them 22nd in the table with just seven points.

Unfounded and malicious

"I would like to go on record to dismiss the speculation surrounding my position at Coventry City Football Club," Thorn told the club's official website. "I am as committed as ever to bringing success to the club, improving the players and the team, while at the same time playing attractive football. The squad of players is equally united in the same desire. "The rumours that I am considering my position are both unfounded and malicious. I am not sure where they come from but they are clearly not emanating from people who love the club. "I hope that will put to rest this nonsense and allow and players and I to get on with our jobs."
