It is until you say anything against KT, then you become the vanquished.
Not really Manny. I think it's a case of B&S saying one thing and the manager saying the opposite on some occasions. I don't deny he knows certain things but budgets and how much players are paid...really? I know you're not KT's biggest fan, but please explain why you think the players and the management team always sing his praises so much? Brady did it again today in the Chron article. In fact it seems Brady is looking after the finances more than KT.

SHOCK & HORROR POST INCOMING I think that KT and everyone involved have done brilliant work in signing up our main players on "long term" deals I said long time ago there is a reason Prem clubs do it and lower league clubs should do the same. It give the players security, the playing staff something to work on / with and gives the fans something / someone to believe in and get behind at their players. So thank you and well done KT, JB and all The next step / question is the quality of the next sets of players - in theory you want to add players better than your base - if some of those coming are better then we have some hope of surviving in L1, if not then IMHO its a missed opportunity. As we all know, the game is won by strikers but they cost a lot of money and so are the biggest gamble - despite being top goal scorers, that is where we struggle - Personally I would like to see us invest a small amount in a young goalscorer from either lower league or failed Prem youngster - small risk for big reward, hopefully that is what they are all working on as I type. See you can do it

On the subject of B&S, have you read Armani Shawami post earlier on Boots? Its an eye opener!

This is my personal favourite piece of spin from the propaganda department “ The chairman has backed us and he's said 'go on, if you want to do it, go for it' “ Yet in another article we have been outbid for a couple of players 😂 Less than a week to go, teams below have caught us and still we don’t strengthen.

Good news - any idea on positions, presumably one will be a Striker?

Oh no, what will the doomsayers do now? Actually I’m certain they will find something to moan about.

Do you know if the striker is one that we have previously targeted?

Great news, today is going to be a good day! B&S also sprang out of bed in good spirits this morning after throwing his toys out the pram yesterday. I’ve promised him his favourite dinner tonight.

Don’t know if we’ve been in for him before

There are many different approaches to running a business (which is what the football club is in case you were in any doubt). NTFC are currently running their business the way that I run mine and it works as a long term sustainable option. Keeping the team happy is the priority. We have probably been outbid by teams that don't care about that so much (i.e. paying someone an inflated wage which p*sses everyone else off or not utilising people in the way they have been promised). It doesnt take much for the applecart to get upset. I offered someone a job recently at £2k less than they were on at their old job. Not because I was trying to be tight (I could afford to pay them more) but because that would have put him on the same salary as an established member of the team. He understood and took the job and I'm sure within the year he'll be on the salary he wanted. It was more important for him to be part of a team that looks after the team and does things in the right way rather than grabbing a quick buck. If he wasn't happy, I'd have been fine to pass him up for what might seem an arbitory amount of money, not because of the money but the potential knock on effect. You may prefer the guns blazing approach but it's not often worked in a sustainable way for anyone. Let's see who comes in - I'm sure whoever it is, you will find a way for it to suit your agenda.

We gave a lad a tour/trial from Scottish League 2 earlier in the week, left sided midfielder/attacker Not sure if this is NTFCLads mystery man. Would seem odd, Scottish League 2 is not even full time

I assume the midfielder would be in addition to the "striker and defender"?.
