I have only seen Northampton play once under Boothroyd and that was the play-off final and in my opinion it was a gutless shameful performance by his side.

It was one of the most one sided games let alone finals I have seen and the way they tried to counteract Bradford with long balls into the corners was incredibly poor. If that's the type of football the fans have been seeing , like what we saw when he was with us i'm surprised he hasn't had more critics from cobbler fans. My brother in laws Dad goes regularly and he thinks its pretty dire but most weeks, but they do out muscle opposition and pick up the points especially at home last season. I wouldn't want to watch it I know that, and in hindsight whoever decided to get rid of him at Coventry made a very good decision.

He took over at Northampton when they were on their knees and facing relegation from the league and the following season took them to the pay off final.
Not a lover of his tactics but can be quite an effective manager.

Oh yes we've excelled since his departure. What's his successor doing in the management world now?

By the way I've met him in his capacity at Northampton. I cannot comment this season but prior to that he was the most popular manager in a community I've seen.
