Some of the reasons why I believe these outsider speculators need to be shown the door....
Claiming Sixfields as is, is OK for L1 football then,
Subsequently...
Poor league position, back in L2 without a fight.
Falling gates,
lack of direction, without future planning.
Historic promises and deadlines made not met.
Mounting debts dump on the club of £5m plus and rising.
Overtly demanding of our local council for land they are not entitled to as (in my opinion) they used the club and its desperate plight to get a stand finished as a Trojan horse to aquire a vast amount of council land riches that our club will never see. (Probably they will write off the several Millions in directors loans as being our share?)
Poor Management, to include..
Appointments,
The Chinese debacle,
Lack of proper communications by keeping the clubs supporters and trust, second guessing their intentions.
Uncertainty caused by announcing the sale of the club claiming to be returning home to USA, only to do neither a year later.
Alienation of the club with its community, mainly due to their secretive land aquirement, Supporters trust, local groups and investors are not welcomed with funding help and organisation.
Had they performed half of the above at Posh, Luton, Watford Oxford, Milton Keynes they would've been shown the door years ago..
My hill top vantage point is looking ever more appealing, why not come and join me😉
As Cobblerwatch states. Nobody disagrees with a lot of what you say. Whilst being mindful of the fact that there are two, three, or thousands of different sides to this argument.
But at this moment you are just noise, nothing more. Albeit repetitive noise. I have never questioned how fervent you are. You know as well as me that my criticism revolves around activity. I openly admit that I am at a loss when it comes to affirmative action, because I'm not sure that I never expected all of this to manifest the way it has. I stated this at Cheyne walk many moons ago. I have never stopped saying that the surrounding land is just as much a curse as it it a potential gift. And as I stated to you numerous times over. The councils actions have once again landed the future of the club in a precarious position, by allowing certain types to show an interest in the club from a non football perspective. You just wouldn't have it. The problem as I see it, is the lack of experience shown in navigating this type of scenario. I was posting on here many months back the intrinsic pitfalls of dealing with dysfunctional organisations, whilst anticipating a honest response. I'm not even sure that conventional experience exists in this area. It is exceptionally specialist. Effectively you dealing with a customer base, that can lurch from open revolt, to a warm fuzzy feeling of content, based on where we are in the league, or how we performed at our last game.
There is a genuine need for the Trust to gauge the general consensus of the support. At the moment KT believes rightly or wrongly that he has the vast majority of the supports confidence. To challenge that, you need to show him that he is wrong. You are not going to do that from the backroom of a working mens club. You have to get an idea of the size of the support, or at least whether or not you are acting contrary to what is wanted. But once again the inherent risk in that, is that good old constant in football, fickleness (if that word even exists
) KT knows that he can play strategic trump cards to undermine any concerted effort to discredit him. But that's just business. In my opinion. And it remains the same as it has always been. KT hasn't thrown up anything that shocks me.
Just out of interest. How are your feelings about the Council now? Are you still as happy about them as you repeatedly stated over the last six months?
