Don't lay into me, I was only asking the question? 
I've not been involved in too many £6m deals. Grin

Fair enough......

But £6m? Where’s that come from?

Wasn't it at the bottom end nearer to Drum Lane?
It was in Gold Street, left hand side as you you walk down it. Just before John Levers record store.

I'm certain there was a Wimpy on the square which became the Burger King when they took over Wimpy.

A job? No, I don't have a job at The Trust!

Someone posted a comment, there is a bit of debate with some things listed out....I was making people aware in the Redev thread. Sorry, should we go back to talking about where the Wimpy was in 1975?

Well at least that has a bit more fact about it. IF there is any problems with the "Chinese Money" at least wait until there is some facts to go on, rather than Facebook rumours.

Haven't got a clue... I think I was using one of Vintages old figures, he must have used it for something?  Probably wasn't even in relation to the Chinese. Grin

Some people aren't on FB at all, and those that are would need to be logged in or copy and paste once they were, that's why links don't work.....

So they sold the club, appointed the new directors, all registered at Companies House and did this without actually receiving any money? That would be a tad incompetent!
Im a bit confused if I’m honest? It clearly didn’t seem to cause any issue or problem with them retaining control of the club? Therefore I don’t really understand what you’re accusing them of? Other than giving the owners of 5 U Sport a title that apparently came with no responsibility or decision making capability?

Whilst I understand this may be your personal view, IMO board members of the Trust should be careful when making critical statements of the current owners, as it may be counterproductive? Otherwise you are assuming that KT and DB understand and/or accept that there is a clear separation between your personal view on here and any influence you may have on the collective view as a board member of the Trust? Just a personal observation, that may or may not be important?

The first part...it did....as David Bower's position of Director of Northampton Town Ventures (the owning company of the Football Club) was terminated on 21st September 2017, and then re-instated on 28th March 2018. So David Bower did not "retain control of the Club".... (source: Filing History of Northampton Town Ventures: Companies House)

As for the second part, there is a specific area on this messageboard related to matters Trust, and I have in my capacity as a board member posted in that section and also today have posted a link to the latest Trust report following our Board meeting on Thursday.

I was, and will continue to post as a "fan" in the main body of the board, and as a Trust Director in the specific area...that is my "clear separation".......... unless i'm not allowed to have my own thoughts now?

(Edit) I’m still confused, again what was the impact and final consequence of the decision to appointment members of 5U Sport, other than the apparently simple if tedious task of removing them again? It didn’t appear to be of significance to me? Perhaps you are in possession of facts that I am not aware of, other than those you raise of which I question the relevance? David Bower may have handed control over in theory but clearly not in practice, because he got it back again fairly effortlessly I would suggest? Just a guess on my part, but whilst the titles may have changed it appears they would only become contractually active upon transfer and receipt of funds? That would make any title lodged at companies house irrelevant because the controlling interest and voting rights would remain under the control of the current owners until the obligations under any contract were fulfilled? To repeat, whilst this is a guess I would be interested to hear any other logical interpretation regarding the chain of events that would explain the final outcome, other than due to the general goodwill and moral fortitude of 5U Sport in allowing the return to the original position? Generally speaking persons in positions of authority tend to be judged on the reasonability of exposure to risk and consequence of their actions? Given the final outcome of the events I felt it relevant to question the accusation of incompetence in relation to this particular event?

To elaborate you are entitled to do what you like when you like, and at no point would I question your right to do so? I cannot speak for KT or DB obviously. However, personally speaking if I was engaged with an organisation on a professional basis and was criticised on a public forum by a board member of that organisation in a private capacity, it would significantly alter the level and/or type of engagement I had with them? It is possible that KT and DB may be of the same opinion and do not view the line of demarcation you have drawn with the degree of separation you imply? I guarantee I wouldn’t, I find personal view and opinions tend to be an intrinsic part of the decision making process? You may wish to take this into consideration, or you may wish to tell me to mind my own business? As one member of the Trust to another, I would hope that you would take this personal view as made with the best intentions and for the purposes of debate. Apologies if it came across otherwise Simon?
