@Adam_Page442 It’ll be Mat Sadler…. We will have wanted Garrard but depends if he gets them up on Sunday. I don’t want Darrell Clarke
English
So having listened to the interview with Kelvin, I don’t think Woodman will be next cobblers manager. A name I said early on I’ll stick with was Ryan Lowe. Who do cobblers fans think will get the job? #ntfc
English
@JakeSharpeBBC Very clearly waiting for Garrard to have final on Sunday before speaking to him, others will be Sadler, Darren Moore, Darrell Clarke. 💯 it will be one of these. Woody never on the cards.
English
Some of the candidates still in work and under contract.

Managerial search down to last 3/4. 'Hopefully next week.' KT #ntfc

@Adam_Page442 @JakeSharpeBBC Stuns me that anyone ever thought woody was on the cards?! Never understood that, he wouldn’t drop back to our current situation and will have many more opportunities in league above
English
@JakeSharpeBBC Great interview Jake👍🏻 big thing I took from that discussion regarding next manager is I don’t think Woodman will be next cobblers manager
English
For those that missed it. Full episode with Kelvin Thomas. Lot of bases covered.

Safe travels to the 1,500 of you heading to Northampton!

@Argyle Any Plymouth fan need a ticket? I have one single in home end to sell

Please arrive early tomorrow, Green Army.
Following the raising of the UK terror threat level this week, Northampton Town have informed us that they will be carrying out increased security checks on entry. There will be 100% bag and body searches for all spectators, in all stands.
As kick-off times cannot be delayed on the final day of the season, it is important that supporters allow enough time for admission.
English
@JakeSharpeBBC @BBCNorthampton @BBCSportNhants Let’s be honest, 2months on from Nolan sacking we still don’t have an agreement in place with a new manager - that is pretty shocking. I hope that means they have an agreement in principle and it just needs rubber stamping but honestly who knows

@James_ChronNTFC Ask them after the game Henners please…
“It looked like a lot of jogging around and half hearted effort, do you think that’s fair to the fans that traveled”
English
@JakeSharpeBBC So many season ticket holders waiting on that announcement, cannot understand why they wouldn’t extend deadline for a couple of weeks rather than price some fans out after it’s passed
English
@mbeebs2014 I don’t know of any agreements yet. Discussion have take place with candidates. Suspect a number of those will currently contracted so nothing can really be decided until the end of the season. Potential investment might broaden the pool of managers too
English
@JakeSharpeBBC would love to get a proper update from the club on the new manager, it’s been 8 weeks. Do we have an agreement in principle that can’t be announced until season ends? Or do we have nothing in place. I cannot believe Woody will have any serious interest in coming.

@MartinSLewis Help please Martin! Confused - I’m on octopus intelligent tariff but should I now switch to fixed octopus version to avoid wholesale increase in July - yes I have an EV. Gas is on octopus 12m fixed but no exit fees
English
I asked people if they were on the energy Price Cap - their answers surprised me. If you're in Eng, Scot or Wales (not NI) its crucial to know whether you’re on the Cap.

@WilliamHill can I get odds for this double for 26/27 league 2 season - Port Vale to be promoted and Northampton to be relegated? #YourOdds
English
Absolutely nailed what us fans are feeling. 👏👏
Gabriel Sutton@GabSutton
Tough for a chairman when their club has just been relegated, because they can't always air their dirty laundry on what's gone wrong before they've dealt with the issues in-house - it's a tricky balancing act. At the same time, I feel like this was a bit too close to the more conservative end of the spectrum. To only write 5 paragraphs, and 2 of them are praising the fans for going to Luton which... I mean fair play but come on, it's one of the shortest away trips of the season, you can be in bed by 11. Feels like a slight cop-out. Even if you can't answer the big questions there and then, at least offer some kind of reassurance that they will get answered as best you can. The fact that Kelvin Thomas didn't explicitly apologize or take responsibility for the board's role in this season - other than vaguely say lessons will be learnt - suggests a hint of easy acceptance, because of the financial disparity. That would be partially fair, and I can see that there are major sustainability issues across that division, with inflation driving costs up and up. Lots of owners across the board seem to be becoming disillusioned, and I'm led to believe there's a few at this level that may be low-key looking to sell. So, I can see why Thomas might feel a bit indignant about taking criticism for this season, and would see it more as the board deserving credit for delivering three consecutive seasons at this season. On the other side of the conversation, when you've been relegated with four games to spare - even factoring in significant budgetary limitations - results dictate that there are things you could have done differently, and that fans will want to know what went wrong. Some good work has been going on at Northampton. The East Stand is looking lovely. The club seems to have controlled it's footballing spend much better than they did in the mid/late 2010s. And six of the last 10 seasons have seen them in League One, rather than League Two. But for them to achieve their long-term target of becoming a stable League One club, there's also facets that need to evolve, and that has to be taken seriously. Fairly or otherwise, Thomas' statement will come across as an attempt to half-gloss over that, until and unless he offers fans greater transparency, and a platform to ask the big questions. #NTFC 👞

@JakeSharpeBBC 1. Wheatley - we lost our ball carrier. Never replaced.
2. We got found out, top half at Xmas yes but only 7pts above drop tells full story.
3. Didn’t have a succession plan when Nolan left with 10 to go and everything to play for
English
Two questions.
What went wrong in your eyes that caused this second half of the season slide?
Are you optimistic about next season? Is there anything giving you a bit of hope?
Let me know ⬇️ #ntfc

The Cobblers Show 👞 Have your say after Northampton Town's relegation to League Two was confirmed ⬇️ @smudger19safc, Luke Graham, @deadmanonleave1 & @RMcCarthy98 join @JakeSharpeBBC & @TogletTim 🎙️ 6pm | @BBCNorthampton | @BBCSounds #ntfc

@James_ChronNTFC Clearly they have their new man from watching that interview - just a case of announcing him when they can - right before the season ticket deadline id imagine? Hope it’s who everyone wants but I can’t see why woody would make that move 🤷
English
Calderwood's reaction after confirmation of relegation #ntfc northamptonchron.co.uk/sport/football…
English
@Bennn_ntfc More bearable? We’ve lost every game since. Nolan left, it’s very clearly got worse! Woeful stuff
English
So League two it is then. I know people will continue to give Calderwood stick but sine hes come in IMO bar one or two games it has been slightly more bare able. Deserved more tonight just conceded two worldies. Atleast the lads tried though and was some good football. #ntfc
English
@JakeSharpeBBC I’ll never understand why you wouldnt give someone else an opportunity with 10 to go and 30pts to play for. We simply threw the towel in with a quarter of the season remaining which is appalling state of affairs for us loyal fans
English
@JakeSharpeBBC 41 years a season ticket holder, loyal as they come, can take a relegation but the total collapse & lack of communication from the club has left me wondering why I should bother. Zero plan when Nolan left, despite having 10 games left and only 3pts adrift makes me so angry.
English
For the Cobblers Show tonight. How are you feeling about the Cobblers at the moment? Not about how they are playing but your general level of enthusiasm and support. Are you optimistic or starting to plan other things to do with your Saturdays? Let me know ⬇️ #ntfc
English
@JakeSharpeBBC @TogletTim @James_ChronNTFC the most positive NTFC stat I can find right now I thought was worth pulling back out
English
@James_ChronNTFC As much as I agree James I honestly see zero chance of him taking that offer, why would he? 2 consecutive promotions with Bromley, he’ll want a crack at league 1.
English
Who I would like to see appointed as the next NTFC manager (should he want it) #ntfc northamptonchron.co.uk/sport/football…
