I have tried to research how him being 24 just prior effects any compensation we would be due if he were to leave. I have not been able to find a definitive response anywhere unfortunately, someone here will surely know!
Isn't this the same situation McWilliams was in - as we'd offered a deal the buying club needed to pay compensation as he was 'raised' here? May be well off the mark though and McW situation is a lot different to Sherring I guess

Missed this place. Everyone knows who the signings are but refuses to give the names.
I do actually know the three players we are chasing, I've spoken to their agents, families and school teachers. All three are great characters and will guarantee our promotion. I'll happily name the players I KNOW we are trying to sign once the official site has announced them.

KT organised this whole event to discredit the Trust, as I said the timing was laughable, there is a lot of Skeletons in closets, I think it’s time a few of them were revealed! Just remember the land deal is worth upward of £100m, are we getting our fair share of it? Is it best value for the people of Northampton.
Where is the £100m quote coming from please?

There really is a lot of unqualified rubbish talked on here about Taylor which people spout off as though it is gospel truth . You really do have no idea whether he is a good or bad influence on the team unless you are in that changing room. I would suggest not many know what sort of character he is or whether he is a positive person in the team. He must have something going for him to be named captain and for Austin to refuse to let him go in the summer . I am not particularly defending his performances this season, the statistics don’t lie and he travels from Merseyside but he did perform well last season when all is said and done. I just think the criticism is a bit over the top .
Seeing him tell the north stand to f*** off after he comically messed up a clearance tells me everything I need to know thanks.

Honestly, the whole "Crooks doesn't look interested most of the time" line is the laziest of analysis. Yes, he has a very languid style but that is who he is and how he plays.
To say Crooks is less interested in trying/winning than, for example Buchanan, Foley, Hoskins or A.Williams on the basis they either run around a lot or show plenty of "pashun", or both is misguided at best.
You start this post criticising those who say Crooks ‘looks’ disinterested and then you go on to justify why they are right - ‘he has a very languid style’. Strange approach to a disagreement.

It’s called an opinion It’s based on years of experience of the club bringing in youth team loans who have little first team experience I’m sure someone far cleverer than me could list all the youth team loaners we’ve had in the last decade and what they are doing now... God knows how many we’ve tried For every Kyle Walker there must be twenty petr mikolandas,bignalls etc
The list would make informative reading. That is what my opinion was based upon.
If loan players from prem youth teams bother you that much - stop supporting a league two football team. Pick another source of entertainment!

Dean Austin was never JFH’s man, if memory serves in interviews with Hasselbaink he had never worked with him before - it seemed like it was a club appointment to have him as assistant.

I can't understand why a player like Raheem Hanley isn't going out on loan if we can't get rid of him. He's 24 and played something like 5 games in two seasons. Surely he wants to play football and gain valuable experience? Can we have a hashtag, #sendraheemonloan, he needs to do some work.
You seem to completely understand why no ones taking him on loan - He's 24 and played something like 5 games in two seasons.

I see that they COULD be at home to Spurs in the FA Cup. Their replay against Millwall is next Tuesday so, hopefully, none of them will want to get injured on Saturday The ideal scenario for us is that they take it easy on Saturday and then get knocked out by Millwall, thus depriving them of extra cash If you are building an ideal scenario: surely it is for us to win by at least 30 goals.

I didn't renew ST due to the lack redev plans, as I see it if they get 4000 to sign up to a season ticket they will be even less likely to redevelop the ground than they are now and we will be forever stuck in that, to coin a phrase from the potus '5hit hole'
If Carlsberg did post replies. Probably one of the worst posts in the world. This is like boycotting the cinema because they won't build extra screens.

Found this from Burnley's site;
28 July 2015
Burnley Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Chris Long from Barclays Premier League side Everton for an undisclosed fee, subject to paperwork.
The striker, who spent time on loan at Brentford last season, has penned a three-year deal at Turf Moor, with a further year’s option in the club’s favour.
If Burnley want to keep him they can extend his contract by a further year so we will more than likely have to try negotiate with them: which could cost us X amount even in July.

Quote from DB's uncle on Rochdale Fans Forum saying he has had a 'big fall out' with JFH and an exchange is an option!
If he had a fall out and exchange was an option: why would he have extended his contract. Buchs is clearly happy here. Personally I think he should move on to a lg 2 club.
