Rob Page appointed as Northampton boss

[EricSabin]

With Wilder 99% gone, we've got a big job on trying to replace him.

Needs to be someone that plays the same way as Wilder, fast, attacking football with a high press all over the pitch as that's the squad we've got. Not sure where to aim or who we could attract to be honest.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

We'll have Adkins?

 

[LordJord]

If we cant have the dream team of Shaq and Bayo in then Adkins would definitely be on my radar. As would Cotterill, Jim Bentley and a few others.

Graham Westley says Hi

He's having the Oldham job when Sheridan goes

[Zeus]

The only logical choice to follow in the footsteps of someone who has played a successful brand of fast, attacking football.

If that happens, I'm supporting MK Dons.

 

[Nelza82]

Some ridiculous names being mentioned by our fans, always happens I guess.

Realistic options?

Steve Cotterill
Neale Ardley
Paul Tisdale
Chris Powell
Nigel Adkins
John Coleman

 

[T.A]

Has Alan Knill gone too?

 

[Nelza82]

Alan Knill is part of the deal yep.

 

[Millwall_Matt]

Ardley seems to have done a very good job in Dons whilst keeping under the radar. No idea what his football is like, but he'd seem to me to be the most 'up and coming' of that lot.

 

[Nelza82]

When they played us towards the end of the season the football was pretty decent, fast paced and attractive. I think he's one I'd want for sure.

 

[UTS]

All decent candidates in that list. Cotterill did very well with Bristol City in 14/15 but I imagine they would have had a big budget? Can't see Tisdale leaving Exeter either. I think Adkins may be a decent shout. Did well at Scunny when they got promoted from L1 and both clubs are similar size, Adkins may want to get back into football asap too, I imagine he was planning for the summer at Sheff U.

First move from Gary Bowyer in the betting

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Alan Knill is part of the deal yep.

And our Physio, who did a good job with our many injuries...

 

[TomPNE94]

If we cant have the dream team of Shaq and Bayo in then Adkins would definitely be on my radar. As would Cotterill, Jim Bentley and a few others.

Jim Bentley? Really?!

 

[Jockney]

I imagine Adkins, Cotterill, et al, will be looking for jobs at lower-end Championship/top-end League One clubs, so Northampton seems unlikely.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

This has Graham Westley all over it.

 

[Nelza82]

No chance of it being Westley, going by what our chairman said about him.

A slight move in the betting for Robert Page.

The Vale fans would pack his bags and pay his taxi fee down I would imagine.

Not for me, and I doubt he'd go Northampton, no offence intended.

 

[Nelza82]

No idea why he has appeared in the betting.

 

[IanPVFC]

No idea why he has appeared in the betting.

Seems to have originated from one of the annual "League 1 transfer rumours" Twitter accounts that appear around the same time every year claiming to have sources within each club.

Late move for Danny Cowley

 

[Indian Dan]

Who the fuck's that?

Holloway is still tending his garden

The new Lincoln boss it seems, formerly of Braintree

You can have Appleton if you like? Be a nice little upgrade for you
