Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Where we have to adjust our thinking to is that Rice is the manager of the club. We have been a single team club for a generation pretty much. We are now looking at a manager of teams from first team to 9 year olds. Hence why we will have coaches. And all will have to align. All coaches are going to have to understand they are part of a wider team now. The wonderful era of Gareth buying nets from Amazon are behind us. We now have 'Professional Development Phase Operations Lead' and I have precisely no idea what that is.

I know it’s the Gasroom and all, but why are the BBC live reporting it…
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
I don’t sense that Evatt is a compliant character. He’s a taskmaster and his persona is one of ‘the boss’ as opposed to the loveable coach.
Rice is the top dog now whether folk like that or not. I sense the next ‘head coach’ will be just that. Someone passionate about coaching, improving and getting the best out of the players at his disposal.
Rice or ‘Danuard’ will make all the plays outside of that. So these old school management names are just for bookies to win a few quid.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
So we still don’t have a manager, but at least we still have a Gasroom. Not sure which one I woke up more concerned about.
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
i was agreeing with you, its a lie that people are saying he said transfers are all on the board, he says its a with the director him and the recruitment team
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
I for one would be quite happy to pay £5 per month to ensure the continued existence of the Gasroom, as a contribution towards the running costs. As others have said, this is 100x better than any other EFL club's forum.
If we got, say 100 regulars paying that figure, the £500 monthly should easily more than cover the cost, and any surplus could then be used to perhaps fund an annual summer meet up at a bar in West London, where members could chat face to face.
Although the discussions have gone off the rails in recent weeks, I'm sure that when the team get back to winning ways under a quality Manager / Head Coach, normal service will be resumed. Meanwhile, @drcongo , please don't go, we need you.
Re: Man of the Match - Northampton (H)
Agree about Bradley’s performance, a good old fashioned battle with Eaves in which our man came out on top. Noticeable that Eaves was switched to go up against Low in the second half. Of all the recent new arrivals Bradley has attracted the least attention but I think he’s been excellent in every game.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Let's all get behind SG and the team tomorrow night, and hope for some news of a new Head Coach before the end of the week.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
If MB had stuck around and gotten us promotion then the honeymoon would have continued for a bit longer. But it was always going to end in tears for some (most?) people eventually. Lommy seemingly wanting us to be a Premier League team will bring enough problems for the 'family club' supporters who won't like a new stadium near a motorway and thousands of tourists and 'daytrippers' turning up. But then there's the whole 'Kazakhstan' concept and what it will actually mean. We become Astana's feeder club? Half the squad go missing for World Cup qualifiers? I have no idea but being a little club in the Chilterns and an international powerhouse is going to cause some problems.
I'd guess that if the lads who had a kickaround in 1887 could somehow visit Adams Park they'd shit their breeches at seeing how things have developed. But that's change lads. Do you want to be like Wycombe Nose Club? DO YOU?
I've been sitting here for ten minutes thinking how to end this post but I have no idea what the future is going to be. Emotional, I suppose.
