Yes, we don't know exactly what constraints he was operating under, but on the face of it, it wasn't exactly an unblemished record.

True, but based on the second half of last season, is there anyone that we would keep - except Callum, and that boat has sailed :) Carl had his shortcomings but he was a player who had the capability to "turn" a game. I really don't know if any of the new players have that "in their locker".

My big beef with him was that he gave the ball away too often, however had a good measure of skill - always good to see someone take on and beat a player - and always put plenty of effort in. I wish him well and fear that he'll be missed. As that great football pundit Joni Mitchell sang -...

Or effectively your most potent deal blocker that means that you can stay in Northampton on a small percentage of your potential revenue. Depends which way you look at it.......

Small steps, but in the right direction. I know I'm going to regret it, but a tiny bit of optimism is starting to form.......

Only one for me was in (I think) 1972. We were losing 0-2 to Sheffield Utd when the ref abandoned it due to a blizzard. It was replayed towards the end of the season, after Noel Cantwell had been sacked and Bob Dennison had taken over as caretaker manager. We won that one 3-2! Helped us to...

Very bleak scenario. Four, five, maybe even six years in Northampton and then back to a smaller stadium, further outside the city.

I expect that you're right - however the FL would have nothing to discuss on August 7th if SISU told them that they had no objection to the money in escrow being immediately released to ACL. Then - to take my fantasy a stage further - SISU confirm that they won't be appealing the JR and...

Rats, scabs..... Ho hum.

Always liked Juke. I thought that selling him when we did was one of the more creative ways of writing a suicide note. Not sure if he'll make it in the top division, but wish him all the best.

Like most things the FL get involved in, this £590k seems less than clear.... It was surprising (to me at least) that the FL made the payment of the £590k a condition of the "golden share" being transferred to Otium. I'm not sure if this was because the owners of the ground were being treated...

You have to make allowances.......

Absolutely - That is why any decision other than coming back to the Ricoh makes no economic sense at all.

Congratulations and good luck! Remember your bad back when you're chatting up the eighteen and nineteen year old students.........

History suggests that we should be sceptical, but at least it appears to be a step in the right direction.

Be the first time we'd had a decent "enforcer" since Lloyd McGrath......

Poor attempt at wumming. Must try (much) harder.

I'm sure that I once read that it started in the 30's with the free scoring team that included Clarrie Bourton.

I'm afraid I can't remember that far back. How do we really appreciate it when things happen that are good? :)

You can just imagine them standing there demanding "three senior" referees, to replace the one that "got the decision wrong"!
