Frustration or not I can’t agree with this, that is all born of hindsight? Given the fact we have had 4 previous managerial disasters prior to Curle? It the contract had not been offered and he would have taken up an offer elsewhere and the next bloke failed, which statistically he will, Kelvin Thomas would have been accused of appalling judgment, and rightly so? To repeat, that’s without the benefit of hindsight.
Disagree, he is a journeyman, who was never going to be in demand even after finally achieving a first promotion after x amount of years trying. This is not hindsight as many were saying it at the time. He was never going to turn down a 1 year deal during a pandemic...but if he did and KT explained to supporters that a 1 year contract offer was declined, I'm sure there wouldn't be many supporters demanding he be offered an extended contract. The football has been & is still mainly dreadful to watch.

Can't disagree with any of this. I was one who said to give him a one year rolling contract.

If a manager gets a better offer from another club, contract or not they will leave, while we might get a tiny bit of compensation if he is still contracted it’s hardly worth it as that situation is far less likely than a manager failing and having to be paid off.

As was said by many at the time, the club should NEVER have offered KC a new two year contract last Summer, simply off the back of an extremely fortunate promotion.
A one year rolling contract at best (especially during a pandemic) should have been the only offer on the table. If he declined it then thanks but goodbye.
The club only have themselves to blame & I'm sure they didn't have the foresight to include a relegation clause so we're lumbered. Can't see KT sacking him no matter what but us as supporters we have the option to renew season tickets, which the club surely need to factor in.
Absolutely spot on, mind you isn’t KT a self proclaimed “football man” he should know better.

As at February 1st 2021 the difference between a 12 months rolling contract and a two year contract from July 1st 2020 is 5 months pay maximum. Perhaps KT reckoned he was always going to give KC at least 6 months (or possibly the whole season) before judging him one way or the other. It's not as if he gave him a significant budget to play with so this season was always going to be tough. We, of course, don't know the salary rates involved or any of the particular peculiarities of contract entered into. The dates I've used in this comment are estimates.

Fair point.

It's all about survival this season, by any means. It's been a poor and uninspiring season. As fans we've not been able to gain any affinity with the players because we can't get to watch them. KC knows he doesn't have to entertain because there's no body to entertain part from the few of us who endure the action behind a fuzzy screen. There's no vocal backlash. It's a nothing season and one we just need to get through, a) as a club and b) as a League One club. Then maybe next season we can get back to Sixfields, start supporting and enjoying the football side of our lives again, with KC having gained more League One know-how and a plan to make us better.

I'm done. I didn't want Curle from the off but having got him I wanted him to be a success. The football last year was dire but we got results, even though the entertainment value was non existent. The play off campaign showed what Curle was trying to do and it won me over. I was pleased when he signed an extension because we saw what we could do when we got it right.
This season has been shìt. No guile, no discernable tactics, no entertainment, no results and now not even any goals either. I've umm-ed and ah-ed and ultimately come down on the side of giving him more time.
Not after tonight though. He's hopeless and watching this drivel is making me miserable at a time when we all need cheering up.
f*** off, Keith. You're incompetent.
Get rid of him and let Brady and Sammo see what they can get out of the players. Yes, their hands will be tied, but at least we might make a fight of it.
