Give Brady a 12 month rolling contract on what basis?

A seemingly lack of managers beating down the door, based on a lack of news from KT.

No one can get anything out of this shower of s***e. It’s the worst squad I can ever remember watching.

Here’s the route out that will give us a chance to hit Division 4 running next year:
1) Give The Brady Bunch a 12 month rolling contract
2) Send all the on loan players back - Mssrs Mitchell and Edmundson can lead the exodus
3) Sack whoever is getting paid to scout / recruit - they’re not earning their money!
4) Get Big Harry back
5) Send everyone out to pick the best of lower league to invest in next summer
6) Dust your cheque book off KT - we need to spend some money in the summer to cancel a lot of contracts or we’ll be playing Brackley very soon

You've got to be looking at dumping all the loan players purely from a financial point of view. Let's be honest we might as well blood some of the youth players. They can't be any worse than the shower of shít we are fielding at the moment.

20 games? How long is this season?
I make it that we have 15 games to go....

And to be certain of staying up we need 2 points a game. L2 here we come.

Terry fenwick etc etc.

I'm not sure who the “happy clappers” are. Or those that think he's the “saviour”.   

Point me in their direction..

You've defended Thomas from day one and you're a Chelsea fan, so don't know how you qualify as an administrator on a Northampton Town forum. Too many Northampton born and bred support/follow/jump on the bandwagon of successful teams and it does my head in. That's half the reason we are where we are. It doesn't happen in any other sport. How many Northampton
rugby fans support Exeter? How many Northampton cricket fans support Yorkshire? How many Northampton tidldeywink fans support Peterborough? Fukking load of c***s.

I support Yorkshire, it has to do with the county of my birth. However I will always be a Cobblers fan. It was what I grew up with and it's who my son follows even though he was born in Bahrain. It doesn't matter where you were born to support a team, especially a lower league team(geographically I should be a Darlo supporter) for me it's where you were blooded and that was in The Hotel End.

The question is now which manager would be prepared to take on the poison chalice that is our team? Realistically zero chance of keeping us up and then what manage a mid-table L2 side next year?
That's going to look really good on your CV.

[unless he plays Dylan Berry from the youth team.]

Listen you lot, as West Stand says Steve Arnold is not fit. He is only on the bench as cover. He has a back problem that requires injections. We are stuck with Mitchell, unless he plays Dylan Berry from the youth team.

He can't be any worse than what we have at the moment.

That's it for me lads, I can't take any more of this shít.
See you at the start of next season in L2.

Get in

My order of preference would be:

1. John Brady (on the very important proviso that he proves that he can get wins at this level over the next three games or so)
2. An experienced L1 head like Paul Cook (unlikely)
or 3. An up-and-coming League 2 manager like Michael Flynn or at Newport at Duff at Cheltenham (would require compensation but would pay off massively IMO - c.f. Wilder)

How about 4. Taking a punt on a non-league manager, porbably a cheaper option than 2 and 3. Maybe we get a manager who has a singleminded very driven attitude to show their prowess in a higher league.

SingCob, As you might guess the point is that anybody sacked is as Melly puts it can (quote}be devastating' (end quote) whether they are well healed, a football manager, a Salesman or even general public it can be a blow. Perhaps they deserve to lose their job but somebody maybe affected. I guess it can be a personal thing. To reiterate I quite liked Curle but was aghast at the last 3/4 games. Simply put; to me those two wins with the promotion put a spring in my step as it probably did for many on here. I prefer to remember him for his successes not his failures. Hope this satisfies your interest? As this particular comment has run its course; that's all from me. Good luck and UPC

Not to defend the KC sacking but it’s always a poor defence to compare a football managers sacking to a ‘regular’ job. The football manager usually has the protection of a contract.
In most jobs you wouldn’t get sacked for a poor couple of months, or even a year. I guess you may walk on a compromise agreement, or protracted performance management process. Fortunately we have employment laws and HR policies to protect us from that, although there’s plenty of cowboy firms who would fire people on a whim. I’m guessing I work for a good un!

The reason I used the salesman as an example is because both jobs are results oriented.
Evers, I could not agree more. I was so looking forward to the start of the season after the fantastic run and play-off victories, with hopes of more play-off games, or at least comfortable survival in L1, but the fare that was served up by KC this season was dire, but as you say let's remember the good times and also remember we are in L1(albeit in a shít position) thanks to KC.

Cobblerrtone. Believe me salespeople get shown the door for poor performance on a regular basis and they do have contracts which offer the standard protection from being sacked on a whim. What the man in the street does not have is the parachute payments made until the end of their contracts or until they find a new job. Pretty much every job to a greater or lesser extent is performance based and as a manager your job is to get the best performance from your team wether it be a football team or a team building widgits and failure to do this will get you shown the door.

[about KC's 'personal circumstances']

about KC's 'personal circumstances'!  - by this I mean wife, family, dependents mortgage etc. Would you wish to be in that situation yourself? Can understand where you are coming on Curle's personal attributes (?) including his much maligned match summaries. If I am going to remember the man; not by his personal failings(for some) but for the way he guided us to safety in L2,the FA Cup, what he did for Charlie Goode, unexpected promotion with two great victories. I just prefer to remember him that way

It's the same with any job. You are meaured on your current performance not past victories. Nobody else is to blame for his sacking but himself. It's the same as a salesman losing his job because he has failed to meet this years targets even though he has met them for the past ten years. Do you not sack him because of his "personal circumstanes"? Failure to perform gets you shown to the door.

Dependent on how they are going to sort things out Brackley are in with a very good chance of moving up to the Conference proper.

Rush Limbaugh very contraversial radio host in the good oldd US of A has died. I don't know how many of you ever heard him(he was broadcast in the Middle Est for the US forces), but it was radio talk show classics. You didn't know wether to laugh, cringe or just shake your head in disbelief at the shít he used to come out with.

Wigan lose 0-5 despite having 55% of the possession. Just shows how much having target men is a must that we seem to lack at the moment.

Watched the 100 series 7(the final series(maybe)). Not as good as the previous ones, it seemed to me they were running out of ideas.

Doug Mountjoy has potted his final black aged 78.
