Cobblers fans are on the whole pretty fair. The majority it seems are happy to go to matches and forget the off the field stuff which is fair enough. Even under Cardoza the most agitated it got was the We Want Answers campaign which was, in fact, pretty tame.
Thomas and Bower's legacy will be judged probably 5-10 years after they leave. Whatever happens next we have to hope they'll do best by the club and the fans and their next moves will be critical to that.

The easy thing is to blame the manager, not 1, not 2 but 3 managers, 4 if you include DA, who ultimately didn't get enough points, which are all very poor bad managers and all their fault? I don't think so
So each time it is the manager?
Today Homebase got sold for £1, is it the store managers to blame or the corporate bosses?
The board provide the platform, facilities and overall working environment / conditions to work and perform in.
The state of the ground, training facilities, lack of development, waiting for NBC, lack of proper player investment and playing strategies have been constant for 10 years with 2 chairmen, at the same time we must have used 350 players and 10? managers. We have had 1 successful season (due in big part to siege mentality) and 1 lucky season to reach play-off final.
IMHO KT played a massive part in our relegation, as someone said earlier the club has lost it's togetherness. I am convinced that if we had been pushing forward, making plans, everyone committed to the cause, we would never have gone down, but instead we had owners not here, other owners not even speaking, owners then not being owners, owners saying we now can have a masterplan and same owner saying no business case to develop and same owner then blaming NBC for not allowing him to submit planning applications. In the meantime there was almost zero talk about training facilities, Trust involvement, medium term plans etc etc once the Chinese investment went bust.

Are you something to do with the trust? I really hope not as this looks like a character assassination on behalf of those looking for support in seeking land! The Cobblers and the nbc will be here long after the speculators have gone.

Im shocked if the trust is going against our local council in support of those who seek 'land' without any offer to our clubs desperate need for some redevelopment . If this is proved correct then they have gone rogue again and need a serious overhauling.

I don't align with KT as apart from the whole East stand / development non event is the fact that we are now back in the bottom division with very little improvement to our club despite promises of £4m investment.
Many talk of lack of action / misinformation etc etc from NBC yet totally ignore KT actions and lack of action.
KT doesn't seem capable or willing to improve NTFC in either A: Spending millions on development and players etc or B: Invest smaller amounts for longer term development and growth, whilst utilising local support, group funding or fan involvment
I just don't understand how he has so much fan support when even on the basic on field matters he has employed 3 managers who have all performed very poorly, has us relegated back to the bottom division with no / little assets in players etc etc
Pretty sure many local people / people on this forum would have done no worse
Yes the councils, both of them, have underperformed, have no plan, no ambition - very much like KT.
good post.

No I spoke to someone from the Trust and it is more a case of a dodgy opening sentence from the Chron. The Trust have proposed a meeting if there is no movement on the negotiations between the Council and club which is fair enough. Think they are doing a good job of trying to remain neutral and gain as much info as possible so that's why the tone of that article surprised me.

Not sure you can blame KT for relegation this year. Despite the on-going off field problems with SU Sport he still managed to financially back his manager, JFH, with nine new players in the January window.
That the players proved less than adequate and up to the task of keeping us up are entirely down to JFH.
I also don't recall any outcry on this forum when he sacked JE and brought in JFH in the first place. In fact the opposite was true, the overwhelming majority on here were delighted with the appointment.
How do you get 10 cobblers fans into a mini? Make one a chairman and the other 9 will crawl up into his ar5ehole, leaving 3 seats spare.

Nothing personal just bored with his secrecy, inactivity, belittling and constant mithering of our council to give him valuble land leases while failing to acknowledge our club and its needs. But other than that, really sound guy.

What if, what if, the leases benefit him and the club?
Belittling irks me. About the only thing we agree on though.

The best thing is to read the statements that the Trust put out, and not believe all the things you hear people attribute to the Trust

What an absolute fcuking mess, the big problem I have is that KT has openly said that Sixfields doesn't need its capacity expanding, but he wants a sweet bankable land deal out of the council. Kelvin me old duck, they ain't going to give you it, you rubbed a few people up the wrong way. GAME OVER, #Skint.

You can see why the council are reluctant to help.
They are being mocked for losing the 10 million, yes it was a previous chairman but he was a representative of this club.
I can't criticise the council because we were very lucky to get a loan off them in the first place.

What a load of codswallop, if pushing forward and making plans was relevant to success how come last time we got promoted we were on our arse and didn’t pay any wages for months? Christ there’s some sh!t on here.
