Interesting if that happens, there will only be a division between KTFC and KFC, unless the Poppies are demoted to the UCL Div1........where the Poppies will meet the RED KITES.

If KTFC survive though, surely that will jeopardise KFC's future? To progress you'll need more fans than you're getting at the moment, its doubtful you'll get them unless there is no KTFC. I applaud wholeheartedly the efforst you guys have made to get the football club up and running, I really do, but to have a successful senior side surely you need your old club to die?

Time is running out now, but I still feel there is some drama to come in this sorry saga, certain people at NP do like their dramas.

I only thought of that scenario because R&DFC 2008 is still in administration. There's nothing stopping KTFC Management Ltd from carrying on after KTFC get kicked out of the Southern League. They could very easily go through another CVA, perhaps with Rolls' Lithuanian friends being owed around 75% of the debt, and offer 1p in the Pound. Hey presto, another clean slate! It would leave them free to apply to enter the UCL Premier, just out of spite, to ensure that KFC could never get off the ground?

I have this feeling that they will be let off the hook to continue by the Southern League as i suspect that this being Football all Sadact needs is that all the Football Creditors accept a deal and sign on the dotted by the deadline today.

Football lives within a bubble of its own making and the Southern League no doubt will say the non payment of the CVA and Money owed to EON and other non Football creditors is nothing to do with them.

Could be Biggles that they may not be kicked out of League but,where do they play?...assuming the embargo still holds where will the players come from?. My feelings are that even if they get the go ahead from the SL it would still be impossible for them to fulfill their forthcoming fixtures.

I agree, diamondal. Even if the SL allow them to continue, I fail to see that even if they can assemble a team to start the next fixture, how is their management going to be able to get them to compete to prevent very heavy defeats? The chances are the players won't be fit and we know just how long it takes for any squad of new players to gel into a competitive squad. They're cut adrift at the bottom of the league at present so even if they see the season out they're already odds on for relegation. Are the remaining few hardcore supporters willing to continue watching their club getting thrashed every week?

They will play at Corby which was muted the other week and if they get the signed agreements the League want from the players owed money then the embargo will be lifted and they will sign non contract players who are willing to play for nothing this Saturday.

I'm not saying this is right but the majority of the Football world does not live in the real world like us mere mortals its all about the so called Football Family where they can brush under the carpet the continue screwing of non football businesses by many dubious owners.
