I like the way you analyse things B&S - you'd make a good economist/econometrist. Considering opportunity cost, placing the issues in context, making relevant comparisons, making reference to imponderables/missing information. Vastly better than the sort of responses I get from the majority of undergraduate students I have to assess and mark for set work and examinations.
Pretty sure his perception is based on his flawed interpretation of current League 2 playing budgets. He takes a very egotistical view often on hindsight basis. His greatest faux pas was refusing to go to Stevenage as the pillars obstructed his view! That is until somebody pointed out there were no pillars obstructing views in the away end! You just need a big pinch of salt when he broadcasts his views!

And maybe you need to actually read and digest his post?

On that basis you do as well! Digest his posts - you need a hefty pinch of salt to do that. Good luck with your opinion all the same!

Does anybody have any transfer rumours to share?
Mindful we've gone off track and like the majority of other threads this one is turning Neverbrite's attention circus.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I’d love to see Pierre back at the club, I know people bang on about peoples fascination with ex-players but he has definitely good the pedigree for league two still and is a leader. Plus the quieter it goes on the more chance of it happening

Use the more limited resources more wisely. Invest in players with a significant potential sell on. Have a process of improving players for the team and their benefit (Brady often says this).
Orient is a specific case in itself - far more expensive to live in that area. You need a much higher salary to get anything decent (rent or purchase).
Thanks CF - i appreciate your comment .

Plus the quieter it goes on the more chance of it happening While I agree with the sentiment (and what Cobblers can would turn their nose up at Turnbull or Pierre coming back), as TP pointed out previously they are both left sided centre backs and we already have probably the best one of those in the League. We need a right footed/right sided centre back, although I am more than happy to leave it to CC and JB to sort out.

Plus the quieter it goes on the more chance of it happening Rather have Turnbull as he's younger and can also play the holding midfield role if required... Again though, both left footed, same as Guthrie We need an ntfclad update as it's too quiet!

turnbull is hugely overrated and would cost too much in salary, way too much to justify paying it for a bang average league 2 centre back who thinks he was some sort of midfield playmaker too. we would have to pay for the treacle for him to run in too

We’re you equally annoyed when we were the club paying crazy wages for Gabbiadini, a huge fee for Kirk and a ridiculous package for Martin Smith to drop down a division and sign for a much smaller club.
Actually no. Thinking about it, at the time I hadn’t really given much thought to the consequences.

Although I’m getting tired of always being right For me you have an unpleasant way of ridiculing Cobblers Players, for example Mills, McGowan and now even Horsfall. Even Jon Brady has come in for some unmindful criticism. No doubt there will be more to come as we now have some new players! Critical opinions on here are fine provided there is some balance; like pros and cons Brady against all odds has all but achieved promotion last season but that positive is not in your mindset. As for attention seeker that is the whole point of your existence on here with cynical comments on players recently emphasised by your futuristic predictions on players motives at the end of 22/23 season.

Marco worth every penny, Smith worth even more, just chuck Gabor Gypes in the mix, and you have three of my favourite ever players at Sixfields. I would like to include Roy Hunter, and Superkev Thornton, but I dont think that they were payed as much.

I see that Orient have signed George Moncur from Hull - that’s a good signing for them.

Why wasn't the operation done earlier? He's been injured since the end of April? Clearly they were given some wrong advice by some medics Certainly bad news for us.

Wow the beggars belief, he was injured before the play off semi as well. So that’s a right back we need as well, would make sense to bring in a decent loan.

In the Exeter game - end of April.

I would imagine that Magloire on loan to cover would now make even more sense.
