I'll spell it out for you for the last time, the £10K was loaned to NTFC after a request from James Whiting, to prevent losing key staff members. We could have said, "Sorry James, we'll have to put this out to the members, it will take 2 to 3 weeks" or even "OK James we are going to employ a lawyer to draw up this agreement, this will probably take a week". So James, you better let those key members of the staff go, you can always go down the jobcentre in a couple of weeks to fill the vacancies, if we still have a club. Can you imagine the stick we would have got if we went down either of these avenues ? If NTFC didn't have a full staff there could have been grave consequences with the Football League putting the future of NTFC in doubt.
Isn't it more likely that JW would have told the staff that the money was coming and asked them to 'please, please hold on for a week more' and they more than likely would have begrudgingly accepted?
Sorry I know it sounds pedantic, but feels to me like dressing low-level recklessness up as heroism.
