INTERIM BRADY TO SEE OUT THE SEASON
NORTHAMPTON chairman Kelvin Thomas has confirmed that interim boss Jon Brady will remain in charge for the rest of the campaign.
The 46-year-old has been at the helm since the departure of Keith Curle a month ago, with the club fighting to preserve their League One status.
Brady picked up his first victory at the fifth attempt in Tuesday’s 2-0 win against Plymouth and Thomas praised the work of his caretaker manager and assistants Marc Richards and Ian Sampson.
“We have been very impressed with their work,” he said. “The performances have improved, some of the individual players have improved and getting the win against Plymouth this week was important as it gave us some reward for the improvements we feel we have made.
“We have three people who love the club, they are part of the club.
“Getting the win on Tuesday was not the beall and end-all; if you look at the statistics it is hard to believe we hadn’t won before, but the win on Tuesday backed up our belief that we are heading the right way.
“We are in a difficult position in the league, we know that.”
Thomas also insisted Brady, Richards and Sampson will remain at the club in some capacity, even if he decides to bring in a new manager.
“We have been talking about things every day for the last few weeks. We have to consider what’s next and what the club needs,” Thomas added.
“We had some great success under Keith, but we want to now take stock and look at what the club needs medium-term.
“No matter what happens, Jon, Ian and Marc have their roles at the club. They are an important part of the future and of our plans.”
