3 relegations from L1 in 4 seasons. Good effort that.

The other season was relegation from the championship

Yes and in each of those seasons he was in the final year of his contract so always decided to jump ship and sign with another league one club. (Can't blame him for that). In fact last season Port Vale said they offered him more money than Northampton but he turned them down as he wanted to remain a league one player. Quite admirable in my opinion! However as he signed a 2 year contract last season with Northampton he will not have that luxury this year and unless Northampton sell him, he will be a league 2 player next year!
Amazed he only played 9 games for Northampton this season as well!

Would you bring him back if he became available?

I think I would

100% Yes I would!

I was a massive fan of SF until near the end of his last season for us. He has done very well since leaving us but I don’t think he would give us what we need to progress next season.

I think he would be an upgrade on Matty Dolan and Robbie Wilmott.

Would rather have Uncle Albert on board.

Im honestly not sure if im bothered if he returned or not. Still not convinced he has ever found his best position in league football. The best I saw of Sam was that period when he played with chapman alongside him in a midfield 3 where he was pushed further forward. Not convinced he is a striker or a winger to be honest.

In his 3 relegations he was voted Player of the year for 2 of them. Last season at Port Vale and the season before at Yeovil.

I agree with this. Not really played as a striker since his days with us (with Craig Reid) and didn't play his best football in his first season at Yeovil as a winger. Good in a midfield 3 when pushed forward. But then maybe we have Josh Sheehan for that role next season?

I'd have him in our side no ifs or buts about it.

So it's one players fault that a club gets relegated?

Not seen enough of him, since he left us, to make any kind of comment about whether he’d improve us or not, but playing for us was a long time ago (6-7 years?), and didn’t I just read he only made 9 appearances this season ? ... those stats would be a big concern to me about bringing him back, & prob on very decent wages?
