You’ve been possessed by the spirit of Derek 👿
😵‍💫

It couldn't have been done by us as JB never had (or was ever likely to get) any proper backing in the January window, hence why many said the play offs were a pipe dream for us...

I mentioned in the January transfer window thread that Joe Taylor (then on loan from Luton to Col U) would have been a decent signing of intent...Lincoln then went on to sign him & he's massively helped them to get into the final play off place...

All supporters would have loved a go at the play offs but without any tangible backing it was never going to happen...that's not being negative, it's being realistic!
Let’s see what happens in the summer.

End of the day you can't make anyone not associated with the club ie Homes England sign something quickly just because you want them to
Thanks Kelvin, was beginning to worry you were a massive bûllshîter.

Appere definitely has the potential to become a far more successful player in a different team, it wouldn't be the first time. Good age, good experience and some good attributes.
Far more preferable to secure his mediocrity in a Cobblers shirt.  Tongue 
Simpson, no thank you.
You don’t go to games do you.
85  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Accounts on: April 02, 2024, 19:38:52 pm
I'd be interested what bower and his holiness pay themselves

Lost in the wages figure, a pretty penny I shouldn’t wonder, worth every penny  Tongue
86  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Redevelopment Closer Than Ever? on: April 02, 2024, 19:30:58 pm
Thomas said Feb and it’s now April. Fudge all has happened.
Is it really a surprise?
His track record is appalling.

Seemingly happy to compare ourselves with clubs losing more money but nobody mentioning clubs who are not in that boat....?

The mighty Walsall, playing in the division below don't forget, have announced an annual turnover of £7.615m, which actually led to them returning into the black, only to the tune of 11k granted, but still a profit.

How about Exeter City? Turnover for the year was £5.844m, and proceeds from player sales was £1.39m, their costs were actually less than their turnover, and as a result they announced a profit for the year of over £300k.

Our accounts show our turnover is 700k less than Exeter (and nearly £2.5m less than Walsall) but our costs were over a million higher than Exeter whilst we too recorded a similar amount from player sales (£1.21m) as they did.

So, are our costs too high, or is our revenue too low? What were we missing out on if at the same time we are recording increased gates, a surge in season ticket revenue (a lot of which would have been banked before the June 30th accounts date) and the fact that the EFL cut in funding was only 100k or so, our turnover fell year on year?

I'm sure there is work going on behind the scenes to try and grow revenue in all areas, and its not just from the fans who turn up every other week. Have we tried to get anyone to take on the naming rights for the stadium since the demise of PTS for example?

It seems at the moment we are in a chicken and egg situation......we won't speculate and pay out money now for a return medium term, but we can't grow the revenue without speculating!

I hope to be pleasantly surprised but I can't see the wishlists being prepared from stakeholders in the Fans Advisory Board are going to amount to anything. I mean, even putting hot water taps in the toilets is a cost which will see nil return on a balance sheet, same goes for an awning/cover for the DJ or whatever.
Fuçking Hell GPC, be careful you’ll have Tel and his gang after you as the infidel for thinking of criticising his holiness KT.

I would keep

Lee Burge (1 year) Agree
Sam Sherring Agree
Ben Fox (1 year) not for me
Jordan Willis Agree
Shaun McWilliams Agree
Akin Odimayo (1 year) Agree
Liam Moore injured again!
Dominic Gape (1 year) Not a chance
89  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Players Under & Out of Contract on: April 01, 2024, 20:35:25 pm
JB seems to like continuingly.
If he fancies him, I'm sure Hyltons wage could tempt him.
🤞

Paul McGregor has some nerve given he was absolutely s***ě for most of his time with us.
Who? Never heard of him, seems to have a massive chip on his shoulders, Cobbs reserves about his level.
91  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Players Under & Out of Contract on: April 01, 2024, 20:22:28 pm
Not for me, he was beyond poor today.

Simpson on other hand does have all the attributes to be very good at this level and I'd love to have him back
Couldn’t agree more, no thanks to Appere, would definitely sign Simpson on a perm if he becomes available.
92  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Port Vale (h) - Easter Monday on: April 01, 2024, 20:18:30 pm
Hopefully Vale will now be relegated, good riddance to bin-dipper fans with a speech impediment.

Oh I think we all know who lost our credibility with the world. You want to try travelling the world, you'll soon find out.
😂 I have a BA gold card.
94  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Accounts on: March 29, 2024, 09:12:07 am
Do you think that they would move the goal posts like that?
I think it includes the East Stand so do it.
95  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Injury Updates.... on: March 29, 2024, 09:10:26 am
4 weeks and he officially gone.
96  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Accounts on: March 28, 2024, 20:06:29 pm
Losing 1 million a year is never going to end well long term

But tet some fans would still like us to spend more on players and be even further in debt
You do know we are in debt to the people that own us ?

Presumably Manny didn't make any mistakes when he was sweet sixteen.

Just goes to show that you don't need private school and the old boys network to make it.

If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere,
New Britain, New Britain.
Angela is a prime example of how low the bar is set for Labour voters. She’s deputy leader of the opposition but you’d expect to find her behind a till.

Angela is heralded as an example of progressivenesses, proof that anyone can become an MP. She’s just a woman with a track record of bad personal choices who blames her own bad choices on the system.

She actually wants to change the world to make her previous bad choices into the standard of society.

See you there Manny .. Wink

Spot on mate.
