Looking at that statement it is clear that Sadact has been paying quite a bit of the Bills again and has decided if he is paying then he will take control again.

The message seem clear to me that RItchie Jeune and the Trust better start putting more money in if they want control, otherwise Sadact will put the club up for sale again.

So he spent ages saying 'I don't want to be involved anymore, just want to be a fan' but then he's still paying bills. Maybe he's just being nice this time (although the creditors won't be too happy about that).

Interesting comment by JoePoppy who runs Poppynet and the OWS. Seems the FA have been flexing their muscles.

"I have to admit I have no idea about the relative shareholdings at the moment, but, as far as I am aware, no change of ownership of the club has occurred, it was about to, but, the FA put paid to that."

Today proves to me what we have all thought over the last 13 months that the club is about the fans.

We are getting some very nice comments on there this evening, I do think the best thing they can do is walk away, don't go to NP let KTFC die as that's the only way they can get rid of the rich and not so rich people playing about with their football club. K*ttering FC have already formed and if all the fans pulled together (and this kind of thing massively pulls everyone together) it would bring smiles and pride back. Their trust seems about as effective as our old trust they may as well not bother with them!

I think he might just be referring to the FA banning Rolls - thus stopping the deal with Ladak going through (assuming that was ever the intention.....)

reading their forum, I really do feel sorry for them, we were in that situation not long ago, and we are now in a better place, despite what some of their fans think.

I hope they see sense and go for it on their own, they don't need all the bollocks that they are putting up with at the moment.

I know they are our rivals, and I know that sometimes feelings can get highly charged, but as fellow Northants Football fans, I feel that they deserve better 8-)

The sooner the bad guys get runn out of town, the better 8-)

Does someone with a Sky+ remote keep pointing it towards Poppynet and pressing fast forward? Things move so fast on there, it's like it's on x30 all the time!

Yeah absolutely, but the problem is, they're so blinded by their love for their club, they can't see reality and some of them are so blinded they actually think they're in the better position! I mean sure they can say they're 3 levels above us, have a great stadium to play in and still have 140 years of so called glorious 'history', but at the end of the day, even if we are in level 10 of the pyramid, we're the ones smiling, we're the ones who are positive about everything, we're the ones that aren't having to put up with morons ruining our club and we're the ones who are looking forward to a bright future and realistically they are not. Of course I can't say how I'd feel if it were us in their position but I honestly don't think I would have dismissed K*ttering FC as easily as the majority of them have done as it seems pretty likely that KTFC is essentially on life support at the moment and isn't going to last much longer and its become a joke of a club as they know full well and its got to be time to move on and start again surely?

Completely agree but hindsight is a wonderful thing and it is much easier to say that now having gone through what happened. There is no way we would have got a phoenix club off the ground whilst the old club still existed. I guess the guys that have started KFC are actually one step ahead of where we were. Regardless of whether is succeeds or not you have got to say fair play to them for having the balls to go out there and have a go. It's much easier to sit back and hope for the best, which I will be the first to admit, is exactly what I did. At least they are trying to do something positive.

I think Tuesday night will confirm that more and more people are losing the will to put up with the nonsense at NP and vote with their feet. The trouble is, that I suspect that they will drag out this dreadful charade for as long as it suits those in control, regardless of how many stay away.
