I thought that was a really good interview by Jeremy Casey . KT for once answered questions in a straight manner , except for those about the stadium. It appears he agrees with the sentiments I expressed last season about Bury . They were a fraud and their promotion celebrations were empty . They cheated the rest of the division in doing so. No one wants to see a club go out of business but something had to give . I completely agree with KT on this matter

"We certainly didn't take the club on in a debt-free position, we took it on with £18m worth of debt and plus, plus, plus in terms of other things that came out of the woodwork." Absolute nonsense, the debt was written off as we all know!
"As has been noted, we inherited a terribly complicated situation, and we spent two-and-a-half years saying there were problems with the leases, and the council confirmed this at their cabinet meeting last year." Yes, the NTFC leases were transferred to CDNL which the council were intending to take on but were snuffled at the post.
"We are excited about things because we do think in the next few months we will see some progress, and we are excited about the future, but we need some help along the way from the council." I think the council have helped this club enough but let's see if this 'next few months' transpires.

So hiding his poor running of our club behind an even more poorly run little club doesnt make much of a shield to hide behind. Why not point out Posh Luton mk and compare with what those clubs do in comparison...

1) Who paid the tax bill and other creditors in the first 3 months.....KT, so it was NOT debt free! 2) It was NBC who messed up the new leases NOT KT. 3) Yes we have heard 'the next few months' from KT before! Time for action NOT words from him!

u really think so Tcobb
any excuse to make a s***ty comment. you just don't like losing an argument do you
rather have a go at a fan rather than the person who has acted in his own interest since his arrival and has lied and denied and bent the truth
oh and we are playing s*** football and in near relegation out the football league
it is no poison it is too close to facts for you isnt it

yes he paid a few hundred grand on a few Bill's but got it all back when the team and management Cardoza built up, drew Man Utd in the cup and more from the sales breaking up of that team. The losses he suffers are all his own making by being unable to get the football team winning and its infrastructure being not fit for purpose.

1) It wasn't £18 million though as he states. If you buy a business of course you take on the debt. 2) NBC did not mess up the leases. They were gazumped to CDNL leases which is where the whole stalemate originated. 3) Let's see.

I am certainly no apologist for KT and think he has a number of faults but people have very short memories . If it wasn’t for him and his associates it is very possible we would have gone well before Bury . That is a fact .

How can it be 'very possible' and 'a fact'?

Which argument was I losing Random? You have one agenda which is solely to slate KT and the board every chance you get. If the facts dont suit you, you just make it up. I was never a big fan of KT ,but the more people like you keep coming out with your poison the more I will support KT. My biggest concern is people like you get involved in ownership of the Club. You are the living proof that fan ownership is a misguided folly.

Perhaps not a fact but certainly a very high probability.

No it's not, that would've never happened, thats a fact. There wouldve been a dozen other Thomas and co's waiting to pick up where Cardoza left off.

You can always rely on the C&E to provide a “soft” platform for KT to air his views. BBC Northampton is no different. Yesterday’s article is not unexpected post Bury. After many months of silence from the Chairman its purpose is to remind us all we should be eternally grateful to him for riding into town 4 years ago and rescuing the club from oblivion. KT has dined out on that one for quite long enough. Let’s move on and get back to proper scrutiny of KT's stewardship of the club.
On the redevelopment/East Stand situation the article was a masterclass once more in obfuscation from KT. Cutting through he usual Thomas smokescreen the message is that once more progress depends on the Council viz: “…… we need some help along the way from the council”. What that help is he naturally sheds no light on. But the Council have made it clear that there is nothing at all to stop our owners proceeding to complete the East Stand. As for help from the Council, it wrote off £10.25 million of debt owing from NTFC in 2015 on the understanding that Ventures with £4million of liquid funds would finish the stand. Our owners have failed to keep their part of the bargain and now they want more porridge. But unlike Oliver they are not starving.
On 30 April 2018 KT in an “interview” from the Sixfields Studios laid into the Council over the continuing delay over resolution of the boundary issues behind the East Stand. He claimed “lack of communication from the Council”, that he (i.e. the club) was being “treated harshly by the Council” that it was “agreed that the Council needs to regularise” the leases. Remember KT told supporters that correcting the lease situation was the only thing holding up the redevelopment progressing. On 13 June 2018 the NBC Cabinet approved the legal document that would have removed CDNL from having any leasehold interest on the land from the immediate back of the East Stand to the middle of the athletic track. CDNL (KT/DB) have failed to sign that document. Why we should ask. In yesterday’s article KT had the effrontery to say in the context of the land behind the East Stand and well over 14 months since the legal document was sent to his lawyers for signature “We are trying to get that done, but we do need some urgency on it because we want to make sure we are in the position to move on and get that stand built”. KT has moved the goalposts.
As always with anything KT says there is a lot of froth and very little substance. KT continues to kick the redevelopment can down the road and will continue to do so with the help of an uncritical and willing local media and a complacent supporter base until he gets what he wants from the Council. He may succeed but whether it is for the benefit of NTFC and its supporters or for the benefit of CDNL and its owners is the burning issue. That both supporters and our owners will be happy when we reach the end of this saga I doubt very much.

Unfortuneately I do not live in Northampton but have local fans been in touch with Ward Councillors and local MP's to get a statement about what the Council have done and told KT to do?....ie; what do they understand is the current situation concerning the future of the East Stand development?

Hope you know a first class Barrister as you appear to have an unforgiving agenda on KT.
