The Goode money was used for good old ‘running costs’ and meant that the chairman didn’t have to write any cheques until the end of April......
The playoffs would have cost the club money, there was no income, and the loss in match day revenue was negated by the FA cup run money and the PL bailout cash......

I can’t believe I’m going to defend KT here but….
If you are in a few million deep, plus playing to an empty stadium, anyone in their right mind would cut their cloth accordingly. Whether it is a big bucks sale, cup run etc, I don’t foresee the ‘profits’ being thrown at additional playing budget for the foreseeable. The only time we may see some bigger wedge is if we start flirting with the potential drop.
You have to assume we have a budget that is in the ball park of enabling some league two success on the pitch, so having the right management team is essential. IF JB ever starts complaining about a lack of resources then his credibility will probably already been left long behind him.

The first thing I would be asking KT/JB if I was a journalist (or in one of the open forums) is simply: tell me how this signing is evidence of an improved recruitment process.

Because he's going to be brilliant. Next.

This is possibly a bit racist and lazy but watching his highlight reel he looks like he could be a bit like Jamille Matt.  Hopefully this is the case as Matt has always been a handful at this level.

Bring back the days when we used to turn up at the County Ground and support whoever was wearing Cobblers colours irrespective of their previous exploits, have the usual 'lost again' comments amongst us socially that night and forget about it until the next game.

No one has taken the club forward financially in a long time and questions must be asked over what happened to the Goode and play off money from last season.



No one has ever taken this football club forward financially, not one owner has managed to do that. Our two home grounds haven't helped that.

Secondly, not sure if you've been around Planet Earth recently, but football clubs haven't been able to earn a lot of money over the last 15 months and are still two months away from maybe starting to, although that's still TBC. The fact they've all managed to complete an entire season is quite a feat. So where do you think the Charlie Goode transfer money and the money from the FA Cup run has ended up?

Certainly not on refurbishing a house in Church Brampton.

But he’s not.

Hence the big if. I’m sure he won’t and always prefer those accountable manager types. KT has shown faith on the back of a relegation, so I’m sure JB will want to show what he can do with a clean slate…or KT couldn’t be arsed to roll the dice again.
I predict we’ll be at the right end of the table this season….as long as he signs a goalie  Tongue
If not the merry go around will continue….

Wasn’t always the case as can remember Roly Mills, Leck, Everett and Sanders getting the ‘treatment’; no internet then but can remember some vocal opinion ringing out!

Oh me sides  Grin
Obviously your info didn’t stretch to today’s signing  Grin

I can match you’re accuracy....
We are about to sign some players who have league one/two experience before the season starts....

Not able to give names though blah blah blah

Just leave it to ntfc lad whose the only in the know poster left on here nowadays.

One source of genuine info and loads of guessers /attention seekers.

I have no idea whose signing and to be honest I’m not too fussed as unless Kelvin pulls his finger out and builds the much trumpeted redevelopment it will be a fourth season of sixfields exile for me.

Something needs to change and sadly the only certainty is unlike other clubs the change will not be bought about by the apathetic fans of Northampton who are more than satisfied bobbing along forever in league two...

Enjoy a few more seasons of on and off the field stagnation.

I prefer a successful team doing well in League 1 and support growing! Then that might be the time to think about redevelopment. Horse first followed by carriage! Without a successful side nothing much will happen!

Is there another thread where moaners and bigger picture stuff can happen and we can keep this clear for ntfclad to give us clues or anyone who has spotted Bayo in the sixfields McDonalds?
