The Cowleys have been sacked by Huddersfield just after they survived relegation from the Championship. I'd be surprised if they don't get a job again very soon.

Absolutely ridiculous decision! Thanks for keeping us up now fvck off!!!

Pearson also just been sacked by Watford

Longer it goes on without big Vadaine signing, the more I fear he's possibly had his head turned (agent?) and is exploring other options (which he's entitled to do) before accepting our offer...

He is pivotal to the way we play (as he pretty much wins every header) so I think it would be a massive loss should he sign elsewhere. Think he'll be an even better player next season so hopefully he'll re-sign.

So, rumour has it that fans may be allowed back in from the start of the 20/21 season...

I've heard 25% of ground capacity, so if our capacity is approx 7800 then that would be 1950 fans allowed in...

I assume no away fans would be allowed so that would solely be 1950 home supporters in our case...

I would hope the club ensure the 1950 are made up of those that renewed/purchased season tickets once we hit the 1950 mark, rather than say, we sell 3000 season tickets & everyone then gets put into a lucky dip!

It seems obvious but you never know!

[Monday 27th July]

The EFL has today confirmed the opening and closing dates for the 2020 summer transfer window.

Subject to formal ratification, the transfer window will open fully on Monday 27th July, although any player registered before the completion of the 2019/20 season will not be eligible to play for their new club until season 2020/21 commences. This is applicable to clubs involved in the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs.

The window for international registrations closes at 11pm on Monday 5th October, with an agreement in place with the Premier League for an extended two-week domestic only window which will close at 5pm on Friday 16th October.

Reckon Wycombe will now offer him a token one year deal now anyway. Still a good option off the bench at any level & he deserves a season in the championship....

For us, more important that big Vadaine re-signs...

Ah, knew this would surface again...I do wish we had signed him on a 10 year contract when he first signed for us though...absolutely love him!

Northampton Town are set to sign striker Adebayo Akinfenwa after his Wycombe Wanderers contract expires #ntfc #wwfc https://twitter.com/TransferCentre9/status/1282706098261303296/photo/1

Oli Hawkins latest rumour...

Would be an decent option if Oliver doesn't re sign

Frank Herman Nouble (still only 28)

Us & Mansfield apparently interested...

Congrats Michael, thoroughly deserved and he lives locally too!

Harriman sign new 2 year deal.

https://www.ntfc.co.uk/news/20202/july/harriman_new_contract/

Thoroughly deserved!

One down...2 to go (or hopefully stay!)

They will not sign until the transfer/registration window opens, probably 1st August. No registrations for transfers or new contracts will be accepted until then.

So how come transfers are happening now?

Starting to hear a few whispers here and there, think it’s picking up a bit

Shay McCartan one of the whispers?

Are you "excited" by any of the whispers?

Any of them "close" to completing?

Keep up the good work!

Could we be interested in Nathan Smith from Port Vale who has rejected a new contract as he wants to play in a higher division. Came through their youth system, centre back who in the last 4 seasons has played a total of 199 games and scored 11 goals. Still only 24 and could be a shrewd addition to our squad if we could get him.

Can't see it. He's been touted by Championship clubs for a couple of years now, he's out of contract so he'll have his pick.

We won't be paying silly wages again (thankfully!) nor should we as there'll be plenty of unattached half decent players available.

Turnbull was the last big money signing by JFH during the 5U Sport era - where the money never actually materialised!

KC said Turnbull has been on "high end L1 wages" ever since signing and thought it would be insulting to offer him such a reduced wage and that he probably would not have been incentivized like he has been on a reduced wage.

I absolutely love Turnbull and would have offered him something but completely understand the reasoning behind it.

KC has dramatically reduced the wage bill since coming in, and has now got us promoted on a significantly reduced budget from the one he inherited. He's maintaining good house keeping which is exactly what's required more than ever in the current climate.

There are going to be hundreds of quality players out of contract so it's up to Simon Tracey etc to find us another Morton/Wharton etc.

At least we ain't got Melville shopping for us! 

Rumours i've seen so far are...

George Thomas (ex Cov/Leicester)
Jamie Devitt (again! - still got a year left at Blackpool so not sure we would pay a fee for him)
Emmanuel Osadebe

Probably all bollox with their agents just touting them about

Anderson is not the answer for a (hopefully) progressive L1 club...

I think we all will

Any inside knowledge ntfclad? Any surprises?

[My Sporting Mind...with Keith Curle]

This podcast with KC is really worth a listen, very open & honest about his personal life...may even help someone on here.

Be worth listening to The Cobblers Show on BBC radio Northampton tonight (6pm)

Host Marc Webber just replied to my tweet (asking about the possibility of any exclusive breaking news on the show) saying "I suspect we'll have some breaking news"
