Add me to the list. Whatever has happened behind the scenes can’t be changed and our focus now must be helping the players as much as we can. There will always be differences of opinion about the direction our club is going in and I remember countless times having to be the Henry Kissinger between Martin O’Neill and Ivor Beeks after they’d disagreed on something. The club is bigger than any one person.

I am with you @Blue_since_1990 it is time to focus on the adventure ahead and what an adventure that might be ...

Thank you. Yes agree 100 is a bit low. We have a fair number of elderly fans who are unable to stand for 90 minutes too.

Sunderland fans seem to think he's a great coach but not head coach material.

Maybe he's a changed man but it feels, if he really is our new head coach, like Sam Grace is being replaced by another club's Sam Grace.

That interview had 'Alan Partridge being arrested for stealing a traffic cone' vibes.

Yep, fair enough. We've had some not great experiences standing before so I'll wait until he's a bit bigger. I'd still be surprised if we didn't have more than 100 fans for whom standing for 90 minutes is a challenge though.

Hope you and your boy enjoy it!

If people speak their brains, that would explain the idiocy and simplicity of some posts.

I think it’s time to give up the Gasroom now. I am totally fed up with this Blooms v Rice rubbish. People just seem to want to continue this nonsense even though we have a team competing for automatic promotion.

Focus on the positives.

Can only imagine being care taker manager at Sunderland would have been enormously stressful we know how their fans can be as are many of the so called big clubs in the lower leagues. The way the club is currently set up it seems the team playing structure is set from the top , players being identified on data and everyone at the club goes with this plan . So if he is a really good coach and we have this set method it could work well. i’m sure the club can see teams are sussing us out so we need a plan b and c too can he do that or is this is all part of the playing structure .

Thankfully, Northampton have gone for a more elaborate and traditional club crest design.

Otherwise, they'd just be giving Posh fans a free hit.
