The club have announced they are looking for an investor to take the club forward.
Chief executive Gary Hodder, said at a press conference "This is not a panic measure, Far from it. 
"The board do, however, recognise that in order to move forward further, outside financial assistance is required.
"If no-one comes forward then we will carry on as we are, running the club in the best way we can and trying to progress on all fronts.
"The future of the club is not in doubt, even if no interested parties come forward. We now feel, however, that we are at a stage where we can make significant progress, and what we are saying is that if anyone is out there who can help us make that progress, please come forward,"
The club also insisted that the decision does not mean top players will be sold and was more a move to strengthen the club.
Some fans are left in a state of shock as they see it as a opt out for the current board as the club are still struggling at the foot of division 2 and have no full time manager in place as yet. Results however are improving and Kevan Broadhurst seems to be turning things around on the field.
Northampton Town has the potential to be a big club should a sizeable cash investment be provided. The stadium is designed for further growth with minimal work if the need arises. The fan base in the town is also a major factor with Northampton as a whole growing at a rapid rate and evidence of this fact being the support the Cobblers received in the two play off finals a few years ago with over 40,000 fans making the trip to Wembley Stadium.
The club itself are actually running at a profit and as yesterday were £212,000 in the black. Future investment will be needed if the club are to achieve the aim of reaching division one and increasing the capacity at Sixfields stadium.
