Jon Brady

[Coolcat]

The becoming all too common, worthless rhetoric from Jon Brady, regarding tonight's derby.
His rhetoric rarely matches the on field activities...worrying!

[Winslow Lee]

So if those quoted figures are correct and you remove Racic and Nuttall we have the fourth lowest budget.
But I dare say other clubs will have simialr anomalies?
Three Fleetwood players supposedly earning 15k+. Obscene.

Aren’t we still paying Nuttall’s wages for the rest of the season despite him being sent back?
I’m not convinced about the figures from that site especially as has been mentioned the loan fees which would be partly funded by parents clubs.
I do find it interesting that on that site our budget isn’t in the bottom 4 and it’s only after the two players wages you mention are taken out it is, you caveat that by saying other clubs would have similar anomalies meaning if similar corrections were made it wouldn’t stay in the bottom 4 yet there are other posters now using this 4th bottom statistic as if it’s fact!.

[Carton Lid]

The salary page has Vadaine Oliver on £1500 , so what did we offer him ? Remember he could commute from Sheffield to Northampton which is got to be worth a few hundred a week.

So , you want him to say :
“ we have players that are mid division 2 standard , our forwards can’t finish a sentence , the keeper is a liability but the lads are trying as hard as they can . Let’s hope we win a corner and score a goal with a gust of wind “
Because that’s the truth and everyone knows it

But then we got Danny Rose on £2400* and paid a transfer fee.

*Based on the same salary page which I’m not convinced on it’s accuracy.

So true

Used the Wayback Machine from 2020. According to that Oliver was on £500 a week. I just can't see anyone commuting to work for that sort of money.

Well he was playing for us and living in Sheffield last season, maybe he travelled with KC ?

[guest3086]

They paid his travel.

[Manwork04]

Aren’t we still paying Nuttall’s wages for the rest of the season despite him being sent back?
I’m not convinced about the figures from that site especially as has been mentioned the loan fees which would be partly funded by parents clubs.
I do find it interesting that on that site our budget isn’t in the bottom 4 and it’s only after the two players wages you mention are taken out it is, you caveat that by saying other clubs would have similar anomalies meaning if similar corrections were made it wouldn’t stay in the bottom 4 yet there are other posters now using this 4th bottom statistic as if it’s fact!.

I think what is fact is that we have one if not the worst squad in the League, now if we had a bigger budget why wouldn’t you buy better players?
Couple the poor squad with the injuries and we will finish bottom, wait and see.
A mid table budget would have seen us stay up.

Why arent we bottom now?

I fully agree about the standard of players this year, but even with the Chinese money a decent budget last time we got relegated, so there is no guarantee that would not have happened this season too. This year Accrington have proved being probably the smallest team and with no wealthy benefactor that it is still possible to recruit well and get a decent league position.

[Coolcat]

So , you want him to say :

No, I'd like a bit more from the training, tactics and passion on the field to mirror the rhetoric!

Not necessarily, we were worse the season we had that 'Chinese money' and spunked it on stupid wages for the likes of Ash Taylor and van Veen.

Budget is obviously a big factor, but scouting and recruitment are more important to get the most out of it. It's why smaller clubs than us are able to consistently over compete.

[everbrite]

I sincerely hope that the squad selected do not have the mindset of some on here As long as we perform creditably that is ok with me! It has come to the point were the allegiance of some on here appears very doubtful at best.

[Shoemender]

The problem is though, we haven't performed creditably on a fair few occasions this season, that's why we are where we are.
I think the allegiance of most on here isn't in doubt nor do most have an anti club agenda!! Most of us are just realistic and can see that there are major problems, not just on the pitch. I think we could be embarrassed tonight. I hope you can come on here later and ram my words down my throat, I really do.

The problem has been and always will be, No ambition, we yo yo between the bottom two divisions because every time we go up, we try and survive with journeymen and loanees.

When was the last time we had a 20 goal a season strikers or even two that hit double figures, i stand back ready to be enlightened

Despite the fact that numerous managers and even our current Chairman have said we wouldn't go down this route again.....

Thats as far as Soccerbase goes!

Prior to that Bobby Barnes scored 20 in all competitions in 1989/90, and the season before that Tony Adcock scored 20 in all competitions too..... the last Cobblers player to score 20 league goals in a season would therefore be Richard Hill in 1986/87

The last Cobblers player to score 20 goals in a season in all competitions was Scott McGleish in 2005/06 (24 total, 17 of them in the league), and he is the only "20 goal a season striker" we have had in the last THIRTY YEARS

[Keith]

Ok its so easy then we need to sign Jamie, Bayo and Scott for next season and we may score a few
