Betting sites have Lincoln to finish 11th-12th and us to finish 22nd. Who would you rather play for?
Cobblers.

Not necessarily "who you know" is it? Morton is signing a new contract, presumably he'll be getting a wage increase, and maybe Lincoln have offered to pay more of his wages than we have. Appleton was in charge of Lincoln when we brought Morton to NTFC. He wasn't interested then as Morton was an unknown, Seems all we have done is raised his (Morton's) stock and now will pay the price as one of our "equals" in the Division will have use of his services as opposed to us having them. If it was purely about "who you know" does that mean we can look forward to a load of loan players joining us from Manchester City? After all, Curle played there...... GPC, you say all we've done is raise his stock, but what did the lad do for us? I think you'll find his goals helped us get promoted and without him we wouldn't be looking forward to league one football this season. If he thinks Lincoln are a better option, fair enough. But time will tell if he/WBA have made the correct decision.

If you think Morton would be going to Lincoln if Appleton wasn't there then you are an idiot.
So are you suggesting that West Brom have placed Morton there and he had no say in the matter? Or are you saying that Morton and Appleton built up such a good relationship during the SEVEN WEEKS that Appleton was in charge of West Broms U23 side that this was too good a move for him to refuse? Five months with Northampton, scoring goals, playing at Wembley, and he's had his head turned by Appleton over Curle? Or are you saying that West Brom think he'll develop better under Appleton at Lincoln than he would at Northampton under Curle? I'm a bit confused!

This has to go down as one of the worst transfer windows I can remember, with 3 days until the start of the season.

This is true.....West Brom got something out of it.....a better player. Morton got something out of it....a new contract. We got something out of it....half a season and the goals which led us to promotion. And now Lincoln get something out of it because their Manager left West Brom to take up the job at Lincoln! Everyone's a winner!!

Well the start of the league season is still more than a week away, and the transfer window doesn't close for more than a month.

If Morton has signed for Lincoln, I would love for us to finish higher than them, just to get one over Appleton again.
Korboa didn't look out of his depth in the friendlies so hopefully KC has found a little gem. Hopefully he can bag a few goals for us and would be great if he outscores Morton.
Bookies might have us as relegation favourites, but I think on our defence recruitment alone we should finish around 15th/16th. If we do manage to find a goalscorer we could do considerably better.

Lincoln fan seems to think Morton had been sorted from late July. I hope this is the case and that we havent just ended up caught unaware again like Oliver.
Good chance now that the only players left from the playoff win a few months ago are Harriman and Watson available for the cup game. We have been picked apart a bit.

I'm saying Appleton has a great relationship with the powers that be at WBA, hence they do him a favour. To think Morton had a say in things is quite frankly ridiculous. Players his age have zero say where they go on loan.

Hardly - Goalie still here, Hoskins, Adams , Smith and Marshall. 8 of the side have gone - not good is it.

And a lot of those leaving was totally avoidable, Oliver, Turnbull and McCormack would have all stayed giving us much more stability. We currently must have the lowest budget in L1 and probably bottom half L2.

He did say "available" so that rules out Adams for sure and probably Hoskins too. Arnold will more than likely be on the bench...but i'll give you Marshall! We had 20 in the matchday squad for the final just over two months ago..... 10 are still here (Arnold, Harriman, Watson, Hoskins, Adams, Marshall, Smith, Martin, Lines, Warburton) 10 are gone (Goode, Turnbull, Wharton, Anderson, McCormack, Olayinka, Morton, Williams, Oliver, Cornell)

All you did was moan about Morton and Oliver when we signed them. We have signed 3 very highly regarded defenders from their respective clubs. A striker who granted is out of form but has played and scored at championship level. Are all your negative comments just so if things don't go right you can jump on your keyboard and gloat? Its Northampton Town we are what we are, not going to change anytime soon. Just give it a break or go a support Man City or Real Madrid.

Unproven at this level. Who’s to say he will have a good season? Gutted he hasn’t chosen us, feel that Lincoln are a similar level club to us but with a tit of a manager. Another reason to finish above them now

How is that worse? We had a terrible manager in JFH! the players we signed gave us a chance of staying up.

We’re sh1t and we’ll always be sh1t the yoof of today beaten before they start, waiting for a handout from the state. I’ll post what I like pal, if you don’t like it don’t read it.

Lmao what are you on about you miserable buggar? No idea what NTFC has to do with the "yoof of today" or wanting a "handout from the state". People are just rightly perplexed by you being so miserable when a ball hasn't been kicked this season and we were promoted last year. Give the lads a chance jeez
