Open End Numb Legs Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Their result will be interesting today. If I was in their team (shudder) I am sure Barton leaving would improve my spirits no end. However his coaching gang is still there (for now) and it won't change the balance of the squad in it's on loan/ageing/injured approach. I predict a win for them today (sacked coach bounce) but still a difficult season ahead. Potential relegation battle if they don't have a bounce.

I think they'll get a win today as well as the players may play with a bit of freedom and must be relieved as they won't be wondering who gets publicly pushed under the bus this week. Won't be the same with that scrawny, cowardly, bullying, little thug not giving his usual puerile rant on RB after the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Wasn’t it Northampton who missed out on Automatic promotion, when the gappers won 7-0. Might give them some motivation for them today. Even if the Cobblers don’t win, let’s hope they at least kick the shit out of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict a win for them today (sacked coach bounce) but still a difficult season ahead. Potential relegation battle if they don't have a bounce. I think we'll probably win today, but I'm not sure on the improving spirits thing. Barton is a weird character and outside of the game I will agree is a very awful person, I was rooting for him a bit when he joined on that front because you know, bad reputations can stick and I thought he could've changed. And then he beat up his wife and I was like "well so much for that!" It seems like, however, he's a pretty good man-manager, which is surprising but it also applies for Mourinho. Mourinho would absolutely ruin players in the media, think Martial or Mata. I remember Essien saying however that players would want to die for Mourinho. I don't think it's a coincidence that it seems loaned, young players tended to do well (Taylor, Thomas, Anderson, Quansah, Gibson, Crama, Bogarde, Connolly etc.) and a fair few despite probably being able to get better offers decided to come back. Hell, people don't forget but Barton was just as critical of Luke Thomas when we were in League 2, yet he decided to come back. It's a weird occurrence, but I would doubt the majority of the players are thinking "wow, thank God we got rid of him!" I imagine for most it was probably a shock and seemed premature. 41 minutes ago, old_eastender said: See Dean Holden is current bookies favourite for the job, now that would be funny. It's changed.

Tinmans Love Child Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 I see the fruit market is 100% confirmed now as not happening and they are definitely staying put! Begs the question of where the money is coming from to renovate the Mem? If you can't raise non match day revenue significantly then you are basically chucking your money away, even if it's on the cheap with temporary stands, so why would the owners do that? Which begs the next question of will they just sell up as there is no money to be made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new owner is clearly telling porkies, because Henbury Gas has an imaginary friend who works in planning and said the fruit market was a done deal and that Marvin wants it. And it isn't as if someone with his history of being honest and truthful would be anything but accurate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
