Morning Derek, I know we keep going round in circles but the same point needs to be emphasised. You say you and others want more but how exactly are you going to get it. The current owners move on, fine. They either develop the stand, fine, or walk without doing so, fine. The club currently loses around 1 million per season and the division 2 average is £800k. What is the plan to increase the revenue to address that short fall and provide funding to take us to the next level? I ask this not to be clever or to score cheap points of debate. This is a very real problem that will need addressing, no matter what side of the fence you are on. The current owners will leave no matter what us supporters want and the clock is ticking. If we collectively want league 1 football then the Deloitte figures show an average loss per club of 2 million. I understand it’s a generalisation but for us that means a shortfall of 75k a week or so given a 6 month season. That’s obviously back of a fag packet sums but that is roughly the enormity of the task we are facing. On top of that you can probably add any additional redevelopment costs. When anyone insists on what they want of the club then it deserves a credible plan being put forward to get it. My view is there has been entirely too much focus on what people want and don’t want, and very little in the way of how to achieve it. I don’t mean that to be as critical as it sounds but we may have a real problem coming and I can’t help worrying we are stumbling into it blind fold. There are a number of possible scenarios on the horizon. They include the owners leaving and the start of a great new future, or conversely the start of the beginning of the end. Do not believe it will necessarily be the former on faith alone. What’s the plan chaps or are we going to continue trading punches whilst Sixfields burns.

Firstly you need a breakdown of the £1m losses, I’m pretty sure there are savings to be made and opportunity to increase revenue if an owner was interested.
As I’ve said many times before whoever took over would need a business plan on how to achieve their goals, it all starts by increasing turnover and reducing costs, their are many consultants who can help with the business plan.
The point is KT and DB WILL leave as soon as they get the land deal done so it’s going to happen.
