He always looks so nervous in front of a camera!!

As for Wilshere.....who writes his questions? Is it him? Does KT actually know what's coming? It all looks a bit rehearsed to me.

Hey ho, we are where we are, we are promised new signings of League 1 quality in January, he is talking to the leader of a Unitary authority that doesn't exist yet, having jettisoned those who he was peaking to and apparently had "good relations" with.....

So from that interview...Curle is going nowhere, we may get some players in next month, and nothing will happen on the Redev front until at least April........as you were!

Yeah, we've gone from having great discussions with George Candler and co to "we're not speaking to them any more"......

the over riding impression i got was that KT was far from happy .
He didn’t want to talk about the past and wanted to concentrate on the here and now .
He certainly doesn’t rate the summer recruitment or the current crop of players with a few exceptions.
He only backs Curle by implication in my view . It is not a full backing .
Wilsher was clearly not allowed to ask the question of how long the manager has got.
This message was to the team and the manager as much as to the supporters

funny how the re-dev is always 'developing' and they are always working on it and always very important to them yet absolutely NOTHING (no plans, ideas, planning, anything) ever happens

Usual BS from the both of them in that NTFC party political broadcast

I know he’s only saying what we all know - namely that the recruitment was sh**e - but it can’t do much for morale both on the playing side and manager/head of recruitment side to hear it. We’ve been here before in trying to strengthen in the January window - it’s not a great time to be looking for value at the best of times let alone when we’re hovering in or around the relegation zone. Plus what sort of business sense is there in saying that the recruitment was crap and then the next minute that you are going to give that head of recruitment more money to bring more players in.

KT has always said the January window is the hardest window to sign players. Then today he says we're going to sign some "league one quality players" in January  Huh? No easy task.

All seems very odd and the obvious question is why didn't we do this in the summer, before the season started?

I think time will tell if KC is still the manager come the beginning of January, I think he needs to show some big improvements and get results from Ipswich (if it's on), Gillingham & Sunderland first or at least 4 points from those games. Three defeats and I think he'll be gone.

Ipswich will definitely be off they have half the staff out with Covid-19, really can’t see us getting anything from Sunderland or Gills.

Strange they haven't officially called the game off.

KC will be gone after Sunderland then, unless we get stuffed by Gillingham.

Plenty of time for KC to prepare for the Gills then (whose game has already been called off unfortunately).

So KC is here for the foreseeable  Roll Eyes

He's assembled a poor league 2 squad with no leaders or the quality needed to compete in L1 (bar Sheehan & Holmes who were desperate non contract signings anyway), yet he met all the signings face to face at least twice to make sure they had the characteristics needed.

He's now been entrusted to recruit again in the hardest transfer window...ie January!

Smacks of JFH all over again...

Happy Christmas everyone!

My advice to KT - although I don’t expect him to take it - as I wouldn’t if roles were reversed!
1) Keep your money in your wallet. You’re going to need it to see us through this COVID ravaged season!
2) Keith assembled this underperforming squad and, to be fair, he’s had some success in recruitment last season. So, set him a points target between now and end January and if not achieved - show him the door.
3) if not achieved then appoint Sammo / JB to change approach, motivate players and keep us up - even if it’s ugly.
4) Put all your focus (and money for bribes etc - that’s a joke BTW!) to get the East Stand back on the rails.
5) Have a happy sunny Xmas in Florida and get yourself back over here at the end of Jan to either sack Keith or give him 100% backing.
