@Riverleeno Don't get your coat, just c'mon down... Haha!

Some interesting quotes by Rob Page, the new Northampton manager, on the BBC web site...

quote

"It's all about the chairman, listening to what he wants to do with the football club on and off the pitch," Page told BBC Radio Northampton.

"Having met with the chairman and seen how positive he was, it made it a no-brainer," added the ex-Wales defender.

How can we attract the right candidate given the uncertainty of  sale, which may or may not get completed?

3 options for me

1 They know RT is staying

2 New owner told RT who they want

3 Know that a sale is possible Could lose their job in weeks,guaranteed a nice pay day.

Personally I'd like to know what the stumbling blocks are with regard to the sale if indeed the asking price has been met , direction, plan long term and short term would surely not be in the current owners domain to have a view on , don't get me wrong don't just want anyone to own us , but the current situation needs resolving and soon.

@Who r ya?? You Pies!! But we may never know what skeletons, if any,  may have been found post agreeing the price?

Another club sold to foreign buyers. I like Bradford's season ticket pricing. Pity Notts could not replicate that after this last season 

notts could be sold to someone in the uk, i think there is more chance of that but i agree with the above. its a pity that the club did not try to get every on board by lowering the season ticket prices further. i think its more a shame that the clubs harder to sell for all the wrong reasons.

nobody will come forward this season when the season tickets have not sold well.

Personally, I don't care about lower ST prices.... £14 a game is good value as far as I'm concerned.

What really p**ses me off though, is the complete lack of information, clarification and plain communication coming out of the club.

The retained list worries me... the slowness (AGAIN!) in appointing a manager worries me.... the "phantom" club sale worries me.... the shadow of administration worries me.

These are the things that dissuade supporters from parting with their hard earned cash... not the mushy peas or broken hand dryers in the bogs or half price ST's.

I know not much time really when so much needs doing , let's hope we hear of a managerial appointment asap , I would have liked a sale first but that could be a long way off if at all , so matters football need taking care of with some urgency I feel .

The longer it takes to appoint a new manager, the smaller the pool of decent players will be left available. A lot of the good players will wait before deciding, but it is leaving us playing catch up, especially when it comes to reinforcing the defense.

 

Was registered on here in the last 24hrs &,didnt bother answering the questions.To me,that just sums everything up with what is wrong at the club,absolutely no communication at all & answer only what you want too.

Are you surprised?

Not really.Remember thinking when we won promotion after they had taken over,& some thought the sun shone out of their arses,"let me buy you a drink Ray"& all the arse licking at Torquay,couldn,t stay off Forums for love nor money.lets see how you handle things when they go "**** up".Well we have seen it.Toys out the pram.In life you take the good with the bad.Obviously these can,t in football.

I actually think RT should have got outside investment & had a proper board.Yes there would have been arguements,but at least he would have seen different views from outside "the clique".who knows where we would be now.DP had a favourite saying "Hindsight is a wonderful thing".Wish I had got £1 everytime he said it.I could have bought Notts.
