New Trust statement on club finances

[BackOfTheNet]

This sums up the last few pages for me.

In recent weeks, some posters have progressed from 'KT is doing a crap job' to 'KT is outright lying' and similar (sometimes more serious) suggestions & allegations. When it comes to the latter, you have to be ready to stand behind what you're saying. If you can't, your credibility is undermined. It doesn't mean you're wrong, it just makes it far more difficult for you to bring people on board.

Precisely!

Well, hang on, you were complaining that the club was passing off 5 year old stuff as new, but it was the plans that were 5 years old and the CGI images were in fact new, which is the only thing the club claimed to be new, right?

From your own post:

I'll grant you, banging out some new CGI images isn't great progress in 5 years, but that's not what you were saying. Personally, I don't care if the plans are 5 years old or 10 years old, if they are still functional then why would you commission new ones? It would be an utter waste of money.

You were implying the club were being disingenuous when they weren't, which I'm really not comfortable with.

If instead you'd said "KT presented 5 year old plans and just tarted them up with a few new flashy images. That's pretty poor progress in 5 years, isn't it?" then I'd wholeheartedly agree with you!

I agree with everything you say BOTN, but I would add that the claim did not come from the Trust, and it's their statement that this thread is about.

Agreed and understood.

Have any of you thought where the information has come from?
And why the proof isn’t yet available to the public.
FFS don’t look for a job in the secret service.

What information, specifically?

I'm going to go with....
because there isn't any evidence of wrong doing, just a way the Trust arent happy with, so they dropped just enough information and in a way to try and create anger in the supporter base after their underhanded attempt to get a scoop in the red tops didnt work.

There you go, thats my opinion laid out in full

If you're suggesting what I think you are, I really can't see why anyone would be comfortable posting the substance but not the material itself and/or proof that it exists.

With respect Manny, we've been here before with you implying there's something very exciting that the rest of us don't know about. It wasn't very exciting in the end. Don't look for a job as a shepherd.

Does it come from a disgruntled club employee who is looking for another job (or club) but hasn't found one yet?
Does it come, unofficially, from the constabulary?
Both?
Nether?

I can't be the only one who has totally lost track on what is actually being alluded to by some. If it is that KT is a businessman first and not a born and bred Cobblers fan he is probably guilty as charged. Other than that we desperately need the footie to start and hope we hit the ground running!

Why don't you ask the Supporters Trust?  That's what he told me to do yesterday.  Maybe other people should as well.

Please see what I said in the original post
"Question 3, Re the East Stand, NTFC said on 25th June 2021 "We are positive about the direction we are heading and felt confident enough that a few months ago we were able to commission these conceptual images to show both the council, supporters and stakeholders what we are trying to achieve with the East Stand". It is a know fact that the plans displayed at the Open Evening are over 5 years old, so isn't that statement a little misleading ?"
Which is exactly what you have said in your last paragraph !

Don't hold your breath waiting for an answer.

Sorry I didn’t meet your expectations, Shepard isn’t really a career I’ve wished for TBH.
I’d love to share but no one would ever tell me anything ever again and I’d drop some people in a lot of trouble.

I call bullsh*t. You can rely on an apology from me if and when I'm proven wrong.

And that’s your personal prerogative, it really doesn’t matter because the wheels are in motion as they say.
Watch this space and all that.
