So where do we start
1. Big mistake giving KC a 2 year contract last summer, OK he got us up through more luck than judgement but last season was pretty much sh*t apart from 5 or 6 games, so it was bound to be a bit of a struggle and struggling managers usually get sacked.
2. We had a £1.75M windfall with the sale of Goode and last seasons FA Cup money but decided not to invest any of it in the team.
3. Despite several dire performances we stuck with KC during the January transfer window, where apart from Kioso, the signings were underwhelming.
4. KC was only sacked when it was blatantly obvious that ST sales would fall through the floor if he remained in position and KT hoped that Brady might be able to get something that didn't exist, out of the poorly assembled squad.
5. KT has no interest whatsoever in the fans of NTFC, the fans won't make money, the land will and that's the only reason he's here.
6. I think we have a "Yes" sir attitude at with most of the senior staff agreeing with what ever comes out from the men at the top, even when they know it's wrong, no one questions anything. I do realise that KT pays their wages but sometimes you have to grow a pair.
 Seems like it was the same with the players as Ricky Holmes found out.
7. Some fans still think that KT is our saviour, we are allegedly losing £3M when our playing budget is in the region of £1.2 - £1.5M, where is the other £1.5M going? Not to mention the Football League money and the very near £1M from ST sales also coming in.

1) Probably too worried that someone might come in an poach Curle following promotion so offered him the two years...perhaps there was actual interest from someone else so he tied him down to that contract because it was the easy thing to do.
2) Seems to forget the Goode money and the FA Cup run money when he goes on about the debt.
3) Claims that he waited too long last time to get rid of a manager so this time he went early.....really? He went far too late in my view, the writing had been on the wall for a couple of months before. Then we all got over excited by a 0-0 draw with Accrington!
4) Agree with that
5) I'm sure he's as interested in us as he was with Torquay and Oxford before us......
6)  Agree with that too..... thats where KT's "right kind of players" came in.....those who just shut up and toed the party line.
7) He may have headed the consortium that bought the club in 2015 and that paid the immediate debt to the taxman to avoid us being wound up.....but its now 2021, and the progress on and off the field has been negligible under his watch. We are losing money hand over fist (he says) and by the end of this year the debt to Bower/him/Ventures/Belle de Jour will be in the region of £9m. That right there is the reason there have been no takers for either buying the club or any outside parties putting in some investment.

He never has (had to) answered for the Chinese debacle....did they sell 60% of the club or did they sell 100% of the club, did the money change hands, did the full amount paid by the Chinese get returned to the Chinese when the deal went belly up 9 months later? Why did the losses from that (the Hasselbaink wage and transfer splurge) get covered and hidden on a balance sheet somewhere in the British Virgin Islands?

There will be no deal with the Council, there will be no new/finished stand, and there will be hard times ahead for the club....its about time people realised this and stopped with the quite frankly pathetic "Thomas saved the club" mantra.
