Ben Fox has turned down our contract offer, huge blow
Wow, weird one that. Sounds like you've chucked a load of money at him. Didn't realise you were Going For It™ this season! He should be a quality signing. Honestly feels like a kick in the teeth that he's gone to a fellow League 2 club. Wish him all the best still.that would be us!
Wouldn't surprise me at this rate. I'm losing a bit of my optimism I had a few weeks ago, with some very underwhelming incomings but let's see how we replace Vernam and Paudie especially.Agreed. I'm feeling a little disheartened now. Watt to Lincoln next?
Provided he keeps fit then he’s a good signing. Think his playoff performances have raised expectations of him massively though, up until April he was mostly just ok. Shame that he’s made a sideways move tbh.
Disagree on him being ok, he’s always been class but dipped when asked to fill in for McAtee. He’s a superb player imo but im very surprised to see that he’s gone to another league 2 sideProvided he keeps fit then he’s a good signing.

well a lot of rumours at our end that we have a reduce budget, - not that it's necessarily true. But I personally doubt we have the money to offer 'significantly better terms' (as hurst put it), to a player in what could be considered an unglamourous position. It's probably just the case that we offered a bit more, closer to home and hurst doesn't want anyone on his back that the club didn't offer a bit more to keep him.Wow, weird one that.

I’m not sure how much you know about us as a club now but we’re most certainly not penny pinchers and would’ve offered a lot to keep him herewell a lot of rumours at our end that we have a reduce budget, - not that it's necessarily true.

Yeh it'll be a start but the attack still needs serious work.
I am sad but still correct! He dropped down to the Conference because he struggled with injuries, be interesting to see if he’s consistent with his performances.You’re sad, and that’s ok
Think it’s telling that Hurst wasn’t willing to push the boat out a bit further - obviously no clue what he was on/offered. I reckon he was one of our better paid players so Northampton must be offering a pretty decent wage. If he played all season like he did in the playoffs then we might have finished a bit higher!Disagree on him being ok, he’s always been class but dipped when asked to fill in for McAtee.

I didn't say you were, but I think that furthers my point that we didn't offer significantly better terms then.I’m not sure how much you know about us as a club now but we’re most certainly not penny pinchers and would’ve offered a lot to keep him here

But you’re suggesting we could’ve offered a ‘bit more to keep him’ and I’m telling you if it was a ‘bit’ we’d have paid it no questions asked.I didn't say you were, but I think that furthers my point that we didn't offer significantly better terms then.
He now joins Luke Waterfall in the All Lincolnshire team (played for Scunny, Grimsby and Lincoln), building an excellent L2 squad here.Sounds like Lincoln fans are expecting Charlie Vernam to sign for them in the next few days, maybe even today.

Chuck in the fact he had L1 clubs interested and I’d conclude you’ve paid a pretty penny.
(I’m by no means saying he isn’t going to be worth it)
Andrew Boyce in the side as well!He now joins Luke Waterfall in the All Lincolnshire team (played for Scunny, Grimsby and Lincoln), building an excellent L2 squad here.
Waterfall has even gone one step further playing for Gainsborough too, just Boston to go for him.
We're not going to be blowing big money on players like some clubs… Very, very sustainable.
Where have you read that? Be a good move for him if true, which I think it quite possibly could be. Think he still lives in that area?
Not enough National League experience for us.Looks like Stockport have now beaten Manchester United to the signing of Frenkie De Jong.
Well, out of the kindness of our hearts we begrudgingly took Theo Archibald from Lincoln to help facilitate this deal, so it’s only fair that we help complete the merry-go-round. Might we interest you in flying young prospect Darren Pratley?
Box to box, energy for days and days and days. He'll run his arse into the ground. Worked better in a 4-4-2 than he did with anything that used 3 CMs. Tidy on the ball, breaks up play, can pick a pass. Just very solid and seldom makes mistakes.What’s he like Mariners?

I'm between the pair of you on early to mid season Fox. He was definitely better than ok for me, but not on par with his performances in the latter parts of the season. He's a massive loss, him and Holohan were looking mint together.Disagree on him being ok, he’s always been class but dipped when asked to fill in for McAtee.

That could be correct but Stocky will need to add this to the Excel sheet. Northampton have form for throwing moderate to big amounts around at this level too, so I'm definitely saying you're Going For It™ off the back of this.well a lot of rumours at our end that we have a reduce budget, - not that it's necessarily true.

Jamie Forrester as manager?Andrew Boyce in the side as well!
Building some solid foundations here, can't be many more who played for all threeAndrew Boyce in the side as well!
Might have come across as slightly harsh - I think he’s better than ok but he just wasn’t consistent at the start of the season, which could be down to lack of games. I think he is replaceable though! Very interesting couple of weeks coming up.I'm between the pair of you on early to mid season Fox.

I genuinely don't think we'll find someone who can run as much as he does and I wouldn't be surprised if he goes on to be one of the better CMs in the division, so I'm a bit more skeptical about him being that easy to replace (have seen a fair few people say this). I was prepared to lose him to a L1 club or maybe Bradford or something but not Northampton. That's come as a shock.Might have come across as slightly harsh - I think he’s better than ok but he just wasn’t consistent at the start of the season, which could be down to lack of games.
