Yep. And I hope they turn out to be right. Serious question: if a new man was appointed now, is it likely we'd see the famous 'new manager bounce'?

Unfortunately the new manger bounce is a myth.

I do not think the problem is Brady but the League 2 standard midfield and attacking players (at best).

I doubt we’d get anyone whom the players seem more on board with.
We are clearly good enough to stay up but can’t replicate it consistently enough. As much as I don’t like singling players out, Mitchell could be the difference this season and has cost us a few points. That coupled with Curle’s inability to secure any decent strikers who will grab you a dozen plus goals.
I honestly didn't rate Cornell, but Mitchell make him look like Gordon Banks ! At least Dai used to make a few really good saves between the howlers, I cant really remember Mitchell  making anything but "average" saves, ones you would expect any professional to make, and makes a "big", game changing mistake every 2 or 3 games. The thing is, he's not some Premiership youngster, he's 26 years old, at his peak, and has never been a first choice anywhere.

Mitchell is odds on for a clanger, but he's not responsible for our current plight. When the midfield/strikers are regularly managing less than two shots on target in a game, every mistake the keeper makes is likely to be a highlight (low point).

I blame Mark Bunn.
We were spoilt with him as a keeper and all the rest have failed to life up to him. Poor old Chris, who followed him, suffered the worse simply because his surname was one letter wrong. Cornell, Mitchell and all the other that preceded them were typical league one and two keepers, they just weren't up to Bunn's standard

Not quite true. The porno geezer from Leicester was red hot until the Man U fiasco and one performance killed him.

Sad but true Jolly.
And there in lies the challenge. No one fit to replace Mitchell and, thanks to KCs / KTs refusal to invest in keeping or signing a single competent striker we are impotent up top! You gotta feel sorry for JB - what’s a man to do)

The blame for the situation we are in lies at KT's door and no one else. The squad we have was put together on the cheap to save money as we were in the middle of a pandemic. We obviously couldn't offer enough money to bring in quality players and Curle was happy to go along with it and bring in bang average league 2 players. The problems were then compounded in January when he was still allowed to choose who was bought in and we didn't address the issues with the spine of the team. We needed (and still do) a decent keeper, a decent (fit) Centre Back, a quality central midfield dynamo and a striker who could find the net on a regular basis, what we got were loans that aren't that bothered as they can go back to their parent clubs at the end of the season.
I don't think anyone could do any better than what Brady is doing and if Thomas doesn't splash the cash for next season we may as well keep the Brady bunch in charge as at least they care about the club.
Thomas needs to sell up to someone who wants to take the club forward, if there is anyone out there who is interested, let KT take the land and get someone in who cares.

I had a serious think about who to blame, but thought it would be very unfair if I didn't try to balance my perspective with a bit of research. After spending  around 10 seconds on thoroughly looking into who's fault it is/was, I have come up with the following hypothesis.

You're totally fcuked, no matter who you appoint as a manager. Unless they do a Wilder. Oh... Hold on a minute, didn't a bunch of our "supporters" call for his head at one point  Grin Grin

Hopefully David and Kelvin will take note of my findings.

David and Kelvin is it Hammy. Your support for these 2 is unreal. I can only imagine how u would be if we had owners who actually cared about the club.
This season again has proved that they have no interest in taking NTFC forward. A free pass to a higher division and still nothing, just going through the motions. I know many supporters are happy with just keeping the doors open but every other club has done this too.
The leagues lowest scorers say everything,
as someone posted, we are the smallest club with 100 year history yet have the biggest catchment area, yet most fans accept it when the owner says we are a club not worth developing
Has Kelvin even bothered to visit in the last year ?

I'm not sure how once again, you have assumed that by me suggesting the obvious, that it automatically equates to supporting someone.

It was purely a bit of a joke.

Aren't you a bit concerned about how much this is all getting to you, if the sheer mention of their names has such a profound impact on you  Grin Grin

It's not. their names, it's their actions or lack of them that get to me

Another 5 years wasted with owners who mothball the club whilst waiting for some magical payment

I apologise if wanting more for my football club is a concern

Northampton has it's issues but generally has a lot to offer, just wonder why our sports clubs can't deliver and are always the poor relation. As a town we really should be promoting and celebrating that we are unique, we have 3 major sports represented, are centrally located and have a large catchment area.

As a football club, in a time of great development and change, we have stood still or gone backwards.

To think that we could have had a top class Rugby League club too.😂 Mind you that would have ruined our pitch....

I just don't think they have the means to take anything forward, but also don't fancy selling on and taking a huge hit as well on the money they're already in for.
