After reading most of the comments on here I agree with a few wise heads and prefer to await how this situation develops or even clarified. Imo I will be surprised if either party reveals the facts but merely privately come to an agreement.

I'm 60% sure this club will be in the conference within 5 seasons aimlessly because the town of Northampton will eventually drag it down.
KT and his group have proposed multiple options for developing the land around the stadium from retail to offices, distribution sheds etc etc. They have also provided proven funding of £ millions.
The sole blame for this sorry situation lies with NBC and its complete and utter ineptitude.
As Ive said before, you are without doubt the most intellectually challenged person to post on here, this post underlines this.

I'm firmly on the fence until there are more details. Impossible to choose a side at the moment.
Yep, no reason to take sides until more is known.

It would be helpful if you would back up your claim that KT has proposed multiple options for developing the land around the stadium with some evidence. I can't recollect reading about any definite proposals and supporters haven't even had sight from KT of any plans, drawings or designs for the East Stand. This goes to the heart of this debate since those critical of Thomas assert that in time at the club, so far as off-pitch matters are concerned, there has been no progress on the East Stand or any wider redevelopment. As I and others have said, NBC is far from blameless but Thomas' is in the driver's seat and he is driving us where?

Can you provide links to all these grand plans, and where is the proven funding of millions. ive seen no evidence of either

We will be non-league in 5 years due to NBC !! Despite having a (iYHO) a fantastic chairman / board who wants to invest millions to NTFC benefit.
You really could not make it up !!!

I get the feeling that Clarky's hypothesis involves the fantastic chairman/board and millions not staying around too long because of NBC. And you can't really argue with him on that one.

. That's the first I've heard of KT proposing retail, offices, distribution etc I've not heard one word in public from him mentioning this.

Before we got relegated I was joking KT will sell up and leave (nothing to do with Council)
Anybody else think he just wants out generally (bad investment after relegation) so is cutting his losses but whilst doing so hiding behind the smoke-screen of the mess that is the East Stand and blaming the council. Nobody has mentioned us being relegated as a possible reason why KT wants out.
Maybe it's a combination of both....

You'd think the law of averages would tell you that it will be more difficult to sell sponsorship in league 2 than it was in league 1, season ticket sales will be lower, outside revenue in general will be lower. This must come into the mind of someone who is in it to make money. Would we sell 18 executive boxes for League 2 football? Would we pack out the lounges every other week? I don't know about him using the council goings on as a smokescreen.......just coincidental timing I'd guess. Lets not forget that Bower injected over a million into the club in January.....that was basically peed up the wall by JFH.......both KT and DB would naturally be asking themselves whether it is all worth it!

The truth is we just don't know.
And not knowing is a challenging concept for most these days. They would rather fill the gaps with noise, than wait and see.

There's no way they will walk away, Bower has just ploughed 1.5 m into NTFC Ventures FFS.

Isn't that the whole idea of an unofficial club forum? It's meant to be full of half-truths, dodgy rumours and bickering. I love it all

It’s a good job everyone doesn’t adopt that attitude....this place would be even quieter than ever if we were only allowed to talk about stuff we knew!

It's quite simple. I ask the club questions, they answer.
I'm not anymore ITK than anyone else could be if they got in touch.

That is too simple for some though, doesn't fit their conspiracy theories.
