Emergancy board meeting

[dazza]

Has this meeting finished yet?

[Marvo]

You would have to hope Cardoza has learnt a painful and expensive lesson and wouldn't repeat the same mistake.

[Ralap]

I agree completely Ralap. But as supporters we have to demand for this situation to change. Securing a decent manager should be the no.1 priority in terms of spending. We don't have the best budget in the league, but it's not the worst either and the fact is that money has been spent on players. The likes of Mckenzie, Purcell and Hall must all be on reasonable wages. How much would it take to get a decent manager?  Lincoln have managed to appoint Steve Tilson and I doubt they have much more money than us.

Some of that budget has to reallocated and used to bring in a decent manager. There has to be a proper interview process and people who know something about football have to be consulted. Otherwise this club will continue to go backwards.

I agree Bungle, if Sammo is sacked Cardoza, as Marvo has just said, will hopefully have learnt a lesson that seems to have taken far too long to learn. I agree with Tel though, Crosby or maybe Parrish will be our next manager.

[Marvo]

Hey. how about Terry Angus, first time I've heard him on the radio but he appears to be making a lot of sense.

[Ralap]

We couldn't afford him.

I hope tongue is well and truly in cheek.

There's only one way we'd get what you would consider an established manager and that is with a change of ownership

[Marvo]

Anybody know if there is an emergency board meeting tonight?

There f***ing should be

[DustCobb]

There f***ing should be

There f***ing better be.

[cricketside]

I may have got this wrong, but what we are asking for is:

1 someone to buy a club with no assets and big debts
2 to have enough left over to sack the manager and bring in a quite experienced and, therefore, expensive one.
3 who would want to bring in several of his own men in backroom positions
4 and several new players
5 all on gates of 4,000 or so

Anything else?

[Chamois]

Terry Angus always was a bright guy. If he's still built like a brickhouse he might terrify a few of the players into action.

[tcobb]

Well you never know cricketside,  there might be someone out there who could spend a lot less than £7m and get a decent manager and be better than 91  out of 92.

[cricketside]

To do that we'd surely have to go bust, get a couple of relegations, reform as Northampton 2010 and start from there?

[tcobb]

Might as well do that cricketside, take the ten point deduction,we are going down anyway, might as well clear the debts off and give the new owners a good start.

Or DC could write off his debts and walk away.  But everyone knows he wants his money back

He's a man who has managed to earn a fortune and has then placed £7,000,000 into an investment. People that make that sort of money don't then walk away from their investment and therefore their hard earned money just because its a bloody football club! To expect him to is idealistic, cloud cuckoo land...

I certainly don't begrudge him his right to want as much money back from his failed investment as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if he reads the moronic crap most fans write on here every day (me included) and it makes him dig his heels in harder.

Our owner has put a lot of money into Northampton Town FC and unfortunately we're stuck with him whether we like it or not because there's no-one f***ing stupid enough to put a penny into attempting to buy out a side as historically s***e as us. Don't think for one second I'm a supporter of his or am trying to say anything other than this is the reality this football club finds itself in.

Bottom line is - this could well get worse before it gets better...

[Marvo]

The annoying thing is, we were so close last week to salvation.


If only it had been me that won the £100million+ on the Euro lottery.

To be honest, I'm not bothered about his 'investment'. He used the club as one big fruit machine, continually putting cash in hoping for the big pay day and now it seems that pay day isn't coming he hasn't gone back to the bar to change that last tenner for coins
