New Manager

[Clint]

Well, Alan Carr is currently penning a comedy about Northampton, so it makes sense for his next project to be a tragedy.

Taking over as the new Cobblers' manager would give him something to get his teeth into ...

Have you done a prayer/chant for the game v MK Dons

[guest3086]

Oh Lord I am so very small
But Jesus Christ give me the ball
I will thwack the useless twats
And send them packing
No doubt of that
When all is done, unlike the Mons
They scuttle back, the sore un-dons.

Sorry SOG should be in the actual MK Dons thread by GPC  as EB Claret has already asked for a prayer.
Can you please consider reposting in that thread.

Thank you

I'm going to put it out there and I realise that it'll probably be a ridiculous suggestion but...Mark Robbins!

I know he's currently tied into his contract at Coventry so would cost too much for us to pay that off as well as him probably not wanting to drop down a division but, he's done a great job there taking them from League two to the championship with limited funds, no ground and all their best players getting sold with none of the money going back into the club.

He's got Coventry playing good football and knows how to get the best out of players, that's who I would get in if I could although I think that Brady has done a good job so far so he might yet be the right man for the job, time will tell.

Doesn't the beginning of your middle paragraph answer why the suggestion is such, mentioned in the opening sentence???

Ohhhhh you're right!

Silly me for posting an opinion on a community forum, thanks for pointing that out and teaching me a lesson for future posts.

OK, so how are we going to tempt Robins away from Cov. Will it be with the millions at KT's disposal?
Fcukin Cov. Hope you dislike them as much as me.

It's only a suggestion, it doesn't mean I've come with a plan of action on how to obtain him as well.

My thought process was maybe going from having no budget or control over who comes in or goes out is a decent enough attraction and currently we're a league one football club so not a huge drop down the pyramid.

Only posted cause I thought it would be cool to discuss the potential manager position not to ruffle feathers.

My view is Robins would be a very good choice but we don't have a cat in hells chance of attracting him, unfortunately.
Got to applaud your choice of team though 👍

Yeah I know it's a shame cause I think he could do a really good job for us but like you say we don't have a chance in hell getting him.

I hope whoever takes the reins will turn our fortunes around and at the least keep our place in League one this season, So far from what I've seen Brady do in a short space of time things are looking promising we just need someone to put the ball in the back of the net!

Do you think its a done deal??

Let's hope not. Even after the frustration of today's result, I've seen enough of an improvement to think that Brady deserves a proper crack.

A proper crack as in the rest of the season and then the summer transfer window? I can't see it myself sadly.

Its League 1 survival or nothing......the club is far less saleable in League 2.....

I'm not sure the division makes any difference so long as we are 'league'. If its sold new owner will come in and budget accordingly.
It's all about the land still isnt it? That doesnt change according to our league position.

[GrangeParkCobbler]

Nothing is going to happen re the land.....we are in the middle of an economic slump, there's a new Council arriving on the scene, and the bad taste from the previous deal is still fresh in the mouth. Nothing to see for a few years IMO.....
