Northampton Town considering 56-year-old for managerial position
12/13/2024 04:42 AM
Northampton Town chairman Kelvin Thomas has said Ian Sampson is ‘under consideration’ for their vacant managerial position.
Northampton Town placed the 56-year-old in caretaker charge following Jon Brady’s resignation recently.
The Cobblers are currently sat in 17th place in the League One table and are two points above the drop zone.
Thomas has shared this update, as per a report by the Northampton Chronicle & Echo: “I think Sammo has to be under consideration. He brought a calmness to the situation on Monday night and he’s a very upfront and honest person. Sammo has indicated an interest but we haven’t sat down and fully discussed it. I’ve explained the process and we won’t rush but it’s like any caretaker manager – they have the best possible interview every Saturday.
“We’re realists and Sammo knows that. It’s not to say that if he gets some good results the job is his because we haven’t made any decisions yet, but he’s not been discounted. We’ll keep it open and we’ll discuss it with him.
“The first thing people would say is that he’s the cheap option but Jon Brady was also the cheap option supposedly nearly four years ago. That was the accusation we got at the time but that seemed to work out OK.”
