My questions would be (I appreciate I won't be getting an answer);

1. What did 5USPORT pay for their shares and what was actually received ?
2. What did KT/DB pay to buy these shares back ?
3. What new investment has been ploughed into the club ?

This news sort of takes your mind off that "statement" made by KT doesn't it??
As I pointed out on another thread, the "End of March" deadline came from NBC not Kelvin

It's all very smoke and mirrors - deflection tactics all the way but at the same time only succeeds in deflating the fans, players and management on the eve of a crucial match.

It wasn't a deadine as such...Thomas himself said he was confident it would be sorted by the end of this month......now if that was based on "promises" made by the council then so be it......but Thomas said the end of March in a recent Youtube interview.

Now claiming what they knew was a false alarm.  I’m not buying that, something is amiss.

I am absolutely stunned.
A group who invested in the cobblers but never actually came out with any interviews afterwards.
Two things worry me.
1) Are 5usports still in a position to sell replica shirts
2) How will this impact on the education links that have been so beneficial to the fans of ntfc.

Is there anything KT can pick as he seems not only to struggle picking managers but also now investment partners.
I’m actually thinking that although KT means well he may be a little out of his depth as a football chairman.
It’s not as if he’s getting much right as regards the running of the club and important decisions although I will give credit where it’s due,he has managed to erect some metal fencing around the back of the north stand and stick the old burger salesman in there.

My questions would be (I appreciate I won't be getting an answer);

1. What did 5USPORT pay for their shares and what was actually received ?  Around the figure mentioned in question 2
2. What did KT/DB pay to buy these shares back ?  £1,151,747:07
3. What new investment has been ploughed into the club ?  Anyones guess

So 5USport invested at the end of June, and this article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4841524/Is-Chinese-football-ownership-bubble-burst.html was published two months later.......


Bad timing on NTFC's part???

Harsh statement from AlistairSlowe.
But it looks so familiar yet again. A chairman making promises and nothing coming of them. A call for new investment to take the club forward. It all looks familiar and predictable, hope to god it doesn't come down to the buckets again. If it does AlistairSlowe might well have a point.

I've had a skinful and just been sick in the sink...BUT...

It is so tiring, so tiring. We can never seem to just concentrate on the football, there is always something. I am at the end of my tether with it all and genuinely think we may need to start from the bottom.

Oh well at least they made progress in China on the educational front.

It also means Iciaofano might get a few games next season.

He’s saying that something is still developing and it was a false alarm in terms of reporting it and when someone asked if we should be worried he cryptically responded “no I don’t think so but it has been a chaotic evening” whatever that means.

Now we are left with players and management staff that have come here on false promises and totally demotivated .


Demotivated? None of the bastards have looked barely motivated all season.
