Mysterious Curle

Perhaps Mysterious if you think the manager is a clown you should change your name to Mysterious Clown. This is the clown that turned the ship around 2 seasons ago after we had taken 7 points from the first 10 games. This is the clown that got us promoted last season. This is the clown that took us on a FA Cup run that brought in £750,000. This is the clown that spotted Charlie Goode, who could not hold down a place at Sc***horpe, and developed him into a player that we sold for £1 to £1.5 million. Don't you just love clowns?.
Interested to know if your thoughts have changed at all?

I’m a fan Dan and I want him to stay We are owned by owners who haven’t the financial clout to run us as a league one club. They spend all their time bumbling on about a redevelopment that won’t be worth two bob when it’s done 8,000 seater stadium WOW If they spent more money on the actual football club than constantly going on about their failed redevelopment that’d be a start. Why not have a fans forum regards the football situation and their plans to improve things on the pitch Sometimes I believe this redevelopment (or adding a couple of boxes and a couple of hundred seats) is actually a very convenient smoke stream that constantly deflects everything away from how they have got themselves millions of pounds in debt whilst being unable to sustain anything other than league two football Bollox to the redevelopment it’s all utter tripe that goes on year after year after year. Let’s forget that and ask what they are going to do about getting in the quality of player needed to build a league one team. I don’t see a fans forum on the horizon if those sort of questions need answering. KC is today’s fall guy They’ll be plenty more after him

He’s lying if he says they haven’t Mysterious.
Players have stopped playing for him which is one rare positive. Hopefully Sheehan and Holmes in charge on Saturday.

Sorry in advance for the lecture but that sort of comment isn’t helpful Dan, don’t go down the dictatorial route of Beds and Random. Not if you want your opinions taken seriously? Debate is just that, a debate of different opinions. Otherwise this stops being a forum and becomes a glorified petition?

I disagree actually Melbourne. What’s not helpful is people defending the indefensible. We were fortunate to not get this result on Saturday and deservedly have received it today.
Our manager is 100% not good enough for League 1. The time is now to get rid of him and give us a chance of league 1 stability.

But apparently it would be financial suicide to get rid of him in the middle of a pandemic.......I think some are pinning their hopes on Bristol Rovers, Sunderland, Shrewsbury and Swindon all going bust...therefore we survive by default!!

I agree KC is struggling but getting rid is not the option when the owners are already getting the club millions into debt.... Now fair enough if they wake up tomorrow and decide to pay off the debt they have built up whilst running the club. That’s great and what they should be doing There seems to be no sign of that happening though All they will do by sacking KC is add to that debt that they have saddled the club with. It’s alright saying that it’s debt that’s owed to us and not the club. Show it then and write it off. Otherwise when we next go into administration I think you’ll find some poor sod will be expected to write their debt off before buying the club... I may be wrong but that’s another question that will be skirted around at the fans forum that won’t take place..., Can you please write off the debt that has been built up under your stewardship Yes or no...., Like I say I’m not against KT sacking curle so long as he writes off the current debt rather than adding to it. If KT expects someone to pay millions of pounds of debt to buy the club he is in cloud cuckoo land He has accrued much of this debt by not backing managers financially and then sacking one after another causing more debt. Did the Chinese takeover ever get sorted out ? If so how? I’m sorry but I’m only up for sacking KC if the debt slate is wiped clean It’s just getting silly now and the debt against the club needs wiping clean before the next lot of debt is added to by sacking KC.

curle is clueless and his style of football is an embarrassment to this football club. it was no better last season and we struck lucky over a couple of playoff matches . The rest of the season was dire . We have played the worst football of all 92 clubs in the football league and listened to the man’s pseudo philosophies for too long . i don’t like his arrogance , i don’t like his football and i don’t want him at this club any longer . Time to move on and do it before Christmas .

You have to ask what hope/expectation/proof is there that he is capable of turning things around? What green shoots are there that we can cling to in the hope that we will eventually blossom?
For me, 116 games into your managerial reign is a tad too late to still be talking of "building something" and "creating an identity"

You may be surprised mate but I agree with plenty you have said here and across other posts. Our owners silence is one of the things I hate the most about the club these days. He’s clearly not interested which is desperately disappointing. I was at his first public appearance in Jan 2016 and he sold a very positive dream that day. Sadly we aren’t close to that dream materialising. GrangePark has also made a fantastic point and that is that KC cannot be allowed to spout this bo**ocks about an identity. You’ve created that you imbecile and that is the worst football in the 92.

Unless I am missing something I cannot see any post match reaction from KC.
Maybe it's for the best.

Identity DNA Responsibility Blah blah blah Just throw a hand grenade in Keith I wanted to bring some decent players into the club but wasn’t allowed even though they’d been in to have talks..... Why not Keith Go down in a blaze of glory... Or will you have to sign a confidentiality clause in order to get your payoff

That’s me done then - wasted 50 years of my life, spent £Ks on season tickets, given my self an emotional roller coaster every weekend and Dan says I’m not a fan. Fcuk!
Let’s face it NTFC are a 4th division side with a 4th division manager, a 4th division owner, a 4th division ground and a set of 4th division players. Oh, and a set of 4th division supporters as well - us! Sure, we (more accurately the town/ catchment area) have potential but that’s worth bugger all in the grand scheme of things.
Given all the above, maybe we should just relax and enjoy our brief dalliances with moderate levels of success (getting to the 3rd division for a bit!) and wait for a saviour or a fanatical investor to come along and give us a sustained period of success? Meantime I’m happy to watch my team, cheer them when they win / work their socks off, build myself back up when they disappoint. But, as Dan points out ... I’m not a fan so what the fcuk!

KT was 'handed' another opportunity to build NTFC via playoffs, strengthened by the £1m ? selling of a centre-back
Sorry but I can't believe that KC, how ever bad he is, thought that this team would have any chance of staying in L1.
Horsfield is the WORST centre half I have ever seen in an NTFC, he doesn't even have the excuse of being old or overweight.
GK's are both useless, their footwork is absolutely diabolical
A team with Hoskins as the talisman, well .........
Smith upfront, what a joke
However who in the whole club is any much better?
Last season KC / KT talked about plans, leaders, really clever planning etc etc. All a pile of crap, simply we benefited from other clubs having to play actual football after a long layoff with little preparation, although we had a good spine of CBs, CM, and ST's and booted it up the pitch.
If it's KC out then surely KT can't be far behind ??
