Looks to me like Team KT have something the council wants, the council has the power over vetoing any development so at the moment the football club is the one that's getting shafted the most. There must be a deal to be worked out that benefits KT, Council and NTFC - why doesn't everyone try to go down that path rather than the current impasse where no-one is going to win?
Yes KT and DB do have something the council wants, the land leases which would yield enough money for the council to pay off the Sixfields loan.
They have to hammer out a way forward so that everybody wins, unfortunately the club will come a very poor third.
The ideal scenario would be the council gets the £10m back, the club gets a new east stand the same as the west with boxes and an extended south stand with the rest going to KT an DB.
