It’s all in the detail CJ 😄. Shoey has changed what he said from... Curle is on record as saying “he couldn’t sign his first choice targets”. To Saying, “I missed out on my first choice targets”. Pretty much what every manager says.

This was said in the context of a part of a thread where is was alleged that Curle was not allowed to sign who he wanted. Shoey has changed his own words, then offered a bet on a completely different sentence that he never quoted once. Not his original one.. 😁😁.  Never mind eh..
In fairness he couldn’t sign his top targets
Not only could he not , he did not.

Missing out / couldn’t sign /
Two cheeks of the same arse.

We did not successfully sign our top/first choice/ideal/number one       targets!!!

I’m happy enough to have trawled through god knows how many reports just to prove my memory was correct.

Feel free to keep spinning/digging as much as you wish.

Did we get our top targets No

Was it because they felt we offered them much more money than they were worth and would rather play for a low weekly wage with incentives.
I doubt it.

I rest my case.

Thankyou.....

Now is Keith still in charge?
Have the board issued an update?

I’ve no idea I’ve spent all evening justifying myself for the benefit of others.
Do me a favour chaps next time you wish to (wrongly) disbelieve me find your own fcuking evidence  Grin

In fairness if a manager misses out on top targets it is usually because they can’t compete financially.
Sometimes it’s location but I’d hazard a guess 9/10 are down to finance
Whilst resting my case tonight I also found other interviews in which he said targets had signed for clubs in the league above.....
You’d guess they offered more money....
It was also stated that David nugent had been at sixfields for talks and Keith fancied signing him.
The fact that nugent is currently on gardening leave (is being paid full wages to stay away from deepdale) indicated that we couldn’t strike a deal with him.

From memory so no quotes I’m afraid nugent remarked on talk sport that he’d met Keith with a view to signing and hoped to go back for further talks.....
I’d imagine the fact a deal couldn’t be agreed was down to finance.

I’d love to know why someone thought the way to attract better quality footballers was to offer them a low weekly wage plus incentives...
This has backfired spectacularly and in my opinion is a contributory factor in us being unable to attract the required standard of player for this division.

Just my hunch

I'm sure I read on the Chronic website fairly recently that Curle stated he had missed out on certain targets that had gone to other clubs. I have a feeling it was around the time of the Fleetwood game, but I could be wrong on that.

I have looked on the Chronic website and specifically the articles on the Cobblers but it doesn't go back that far. It does say there is an archive and it does bring up a list of years but when I click on 2020 nothing happens. I have to say nothing happening in 2020 is unusual !

I am not going into a debate about it, perhaps someone more savvy can find the article.

Good luck Shoey  Wink

Very interesting regards signings
The key words for me are “weren’t at their level”
Anyone hazard a guess what Keith’s getting at there?
Could this be another example of not being able to compete financially or do others wish to put another spin on it.....?

So far we have learnt Keith stated he missed out on his top targets
Tried to sign two players that went to Fleetwood because “we weren’t at their level”
Lost out on two signings who signed for higher level clubs.
Failed to agree a deal for David nugent who he would have liked to have signed.

There’s a lot of info out there  Grin

I’d say the article is completely misleading. It’s titled ‘Cobblers pipped by Fleetwood’, the quotes in the article say nothing about this... the closet reference I can find is below...

 "They've got a couple of players that we enquired about but we weren't at that level. It's a very competitive squad."

In an interview piece entitled

James heneghans verdict on cobblers excellent opening day win over Cardiff city
Dated Monday 7th sept 2020

It states

“ the town manager himself has admitted to missing out on top targets”

As I say I’m not tech savvy so can’t get the article up but please trust me...

I knew I hadn’t imagined it....

That’s taken a technophobe like me ages to find the facts but there you go.

UTC.

Interestingly I’ve not been able to the article you reference. Needless to say your quote says absolutely nothing about the lack of budget which you have been stating all along. I assume you’d lodged your money with this charity you’re banging on about?

Ive also tried to find what your claiming and haven’t been able to the closest I have come is below:

"Some of the players that I've spoken to have chosen to go down a route of more money and I completely and utterly understand it, but I haven't lost out on too many players that I don't think I can replace with better." 6th August

Despite already signing 10 players this summer, Cobblers chairman Kelvin Thomas confirmed he will give the green light for Curle to continue adding to his squad prior to the deadline on October 5th.

There is a massive difference in not having a competitive budget and not wishing to pay over the odds.

The bet you were offered was clearly detailed
You asked for proof
I’ve provided it.
If you still wish to cause an argument when you have been proved wrong , have no arse , are all mouth but won’t back it up and despite overwhelming proof that we have missed out on top targets because we couldn’t compete financially please continue to look a tit.

You are you know
You’re looking a tit.


Oh and for a taste of your medicine why not try providing proof that Danny rose is league ones best paid striker. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
Oh me sides Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

You won’t accept proof when it’s given but come out with random nonsense that you won’t be able to prove because it’s not true

What a tit  Grin

I think you need to look at the bigger picture. Finances aside I highly doubt Northampton Town are up there in the footballing world as the club that aspiring footballers are wishing to ply their trade.

In my opinion, having a dinosaur of a manager that’s stuck in the Middle Ages with his style of play doesn’t help matters.

Most summers we will miss out on a number of targets, let’s face it our location, fan base, infrastructure, staff, style of play etc. are considerably behind our competitors.

Some managers in the past have overcome these hurdles. The current manager is failing to do so.

Credit where it’s due I agree that Keith isn’t doing himself any favours with his style of play he has a squad very low on quality with little invention and no cutting edge.
I think it’s beyond him to adapt and the step up to league one is a big one

I must admit I’m hugely concerned my throw away Rose comment has got so much air time!

It’s amazing what some people on here start to believe if you state it as fact without any evidence...

Disappointed he is still here but not surprised.
There are no rumours either from within that i know of.
At the end of the day , KT is abroad and not coming back anytime soon .
Whiting won’t carry out the deed .
Curle has too much autonomy ( however is he allowed to train on that pitch every day ).
There could be a lot more pain inflicted yet .

"We weren't at their level"

That is easy to explain, even for a pea brain like me.
When the approaches for the said players were made, Fleetwood were in the  league 1 play off places, we were either a) newly promoted, b) league 2 having not yet won the play offs.
The targets chose the established league1 team.
